[QUOTE="gatorgrizz27, post: 1601015, member: 565956"] I have a Boston G-510 sub rated for 450W RMS. I am debating between either an amp rated for 500 w or one rated for 800w. I hooked the sub up to the 2 rear channels on my component amp (240W) just to get an idea, and it hardly moved. It is in a sealed box, .5 cubic feet, so I think it can handle more power. It would also only see 800W if the volume knob was all the way up, correct? I just want to make sure it wont destroy it by running the 800W amp, because I don't feel that 500W will be enough. Thanks.
