[QUOTE="subzero, post: 6700453, member: 600350"] no, if you run one kenwood then youd be fine. that matches the amp at about 400rms. If you run one p1's then make sure you have the ohms right. All you get is 4 ohms to play with. one p1 = 4ohms load at 150rms, 300 max? one kenwood is 4 ohms load at 400rms ---The 1200MAX is for burping, I havent seen ANYONE burp those. have you ever seen a sine wave? nice smooth hills, Well, when you clip a signal, that means that you are amplifing the signal too much and that produces a flatline at the peak of the sine wave. This can cause your coils to over heat with signals that are not reproductive.
