[QUOTE="jdubu, post: 8607774, member: 656408"] Oh one last thing... I want to make sure I understand this concept as well. Let's say you have an amp with specs like so: [CODE] RMS Power @ 2 Ohm : 930 Watts x 1 Channel (14.4v) RMS Power @ 4 Ohms : 500 Watts x 1 Channel (14.4v) RMS Power @ 1 Ohms : 1,700 Watts x 1 Channel (14.4v) [/CODE] It's been my understanding that since the amp is rated to run at 14.4V, that if you turn the gain up until the voltage drops to 12.5V, the amp will likely clip and or otherwise eventually be damaged if you are pushing it's full rated RMS, or close to it. Is this also inaccurate? P.S. I really hope you tell me to pick up a couple B-grade or used Sundown 12" SA's lol and maybe an amp with another 100W (or more) power so I got a little headroom [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] ;) But really, like I said, it's whatever you think is the best bang-for-the-buck. I just don't want crappy-sounding bass either. [/QUOTE]
