[QUOTE="Bring97, post: 939456, member: 552169"] ok think about it, underpowering a sub is worse than over powering in most cases, unless you're giving a 300rms sub 3000rms, anyway think about it this way you have a 2000rms sub, you only have 1000rms for it, which means most are more prone to actually turn the gain up to compensate for the lack of power to achieve the sound they want, which in terms sends the amp into chippind due to it trying to put out more power, still fallowing me? well we all know that a clipped signal is horrible for the sub and the amp, causein the sub to play square lines which causes the sub to ultamitly blow. now if you have a 2000rms sub and you give it say 2800rms, you have to keep the gains low and it will send out the right type of sine wave, one that ISNT squared, correct? so tell me what is gunna be worse, an amp thats putting out a square wave or one thats putting out a reg sound wave.
