[QUOTE="dkguitarist, post: 1998347, member: 557124"] that's the ideal level to get the sub moving without compromising the thermal/mechanical limits of the subs handling. some subs can take more than rated rms. but it's posted so you don't just go and throw 1kw at a sub rated for 300rms and blow the bugger in 2 minutes. the max power rating of a sub is pointless. rarely will you ever reach that point, and if you do, it'll only be a short burst. but it pushes teh sub to its limits. just keep it around the rms range and it'll be fine [/QUOTE]
