[QUOTE="RobGMN, post: 8760716, member: 683408"] If that wattage is full sweep and not just at one frequency, that amp should be quite adequate. Mfgrs will quote wattage at a single frequency to legally inflate the numbers. Looks like the sub is dual voice coil. Perhaps 1 ohm per coil, 2 ohms when run in series? Run them in series to avoid amp kablooey. The way you wired your system may be the cause of amp failure. The only benefit the previous amp could have on your factory speakers would be if you reduced the amount of bass being fed to them, and the subwoofer stepped in to pick up the difference. [/QUOTE]
