I don't think they could last as a manufacturer, if they could not
put out when cranked. Thats what they were built for. If the max power
is much more than you need, the unit should also have not problem putting
out less watts. If you have some desire to generate rumbling at 20 Hz,
it will probably work anyway.

Thanks Greg, but I doubt most people couldn't easily tell the difference, so
that's why the specs are so critical when comparing performance. If the amp
can do the job the specs would reflect that, or I have to assume it probably
can't.
