Hello.

I have Creative Inspire P5800 5.1 Surround Sound system. I know speakers can get damaged when the volume is turned up too loud. Is there a way to know what this limit is without the risk of damaging it?

At the moment I have the master volume from windows to abit lower than the maximum allowed. Is that enough? What about the base in that case?

Technical Specifications

Power:
72 watts total RMS power
- Front : 8 watts RMS per speaker (x2 speakers)
(Measured @ 4 ohms @ 10% THD @ 150Hz to 20kHz, two channels driven)
- Rear : 8 watts RMS per speaker (x2 speakers)
(Measured @ 4 ohms @ 10% THD @ 150Hz to 20kHz, two channels driven)
- Center : 18 watts RMS
(Measured @ 4 ohms @ 10% THD @ 150Hz to 20kHz, one channel driven)
- Subwoofer : 22 watts RMS
(Measured @ 4 ohms @ 10% THD @ 40Hz to 150Hz, one channel driven)
115 Watts Total System Power
Overall Frequency Response: 40Hz to 20kHz
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR): 80dB

Thanks
