please excuse my ignorance in advance, but I have a question on how one determines the speakers for a cab. here's my setup:
100 watt amp into a 2x12, 8ohm speaker cabinet rated at 140 power RMS, with two Celestion G12T-75 16 ohm speakers, at 75 watts each.
I do know a 100 watt amp going into a speaker cabinet rated for 140 RMS is perfectly fine, and these two speakers are plenty enough wattage to work with. however, my confusion lies in the total watts between the two speakers being more than the watts meant for the speaker cabinet. it's rated at 140 RMS, and these two speakers combined add up to 150 watts. Is this bad practice and if not why? thanks
