[QUOTE="Quartersawn, post: 8671469, member: 676770"] As promised, I did some due diligence! Corect me of I am wrong but the basics are as follows. Amp output should closely match the RMS of all speakers on a channel. Example: an amp with a sub channel of 700w can have a 700w sub or two 350w subs (if there is the option for two). The ohms of the speakers need to match the output of the amp somehow. Wheather that is two 8 ohms wired in parallel or two 4 ohms wired in series. They still need to equal 8 if the amp is rated for 8. Ohms is more important than wattage, but wattage still needs to be close to avoid speaker breakup at higher volumes or starving at lower. It shouldn't matter if I am using a guitar bass speaker as long as I follow these rules. (Quality will be lower probably but I am going for loud not good) If I am right theb that is relatively basic. I cannot find much info on how to power a system like this. Anyone wanna weigh in and tell me if I am on the right track? [/QUOTE]
