[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8560396, member: 650438"] idk why you think just because an amp is capable of 1600 watts means you have to use all 1600 of it. Gain setting controls how much power the sub sees and you can set it to the point where your stock system can easily handle it and the amp will be barely lifting a finger pushing your subs which keeps it cooler, and longer lifespan. Vs a smaller amp working 110% every day heating up, providing dirty power and not lasting very long. Read up on what box rise is. Wired to 1 ohm, you'll be more around the 2-4 ohm range when music starts playing so your subs wont even see that much power anyways regardless of what amp you have. There's more to car audio than the numbers that get listed on the amps and subs. [/QUOTE]
