A high quality amp shouldn't need to be dialed back to last 20 years, if its not abused. I agree leaving room for future expansion is a legit consideration. But it shouldn't be the standard recommendation for noobs just starting out, like it's tended to be around here.

Leaving headroom for the future can be solved with higher ohms to the amp, in the first set of subs if you do it that way.

It depends on the power levels, but I tend to recommend a little over recommended for power. It varies per situation, but something like pairing a 1200w amp with a 1000w sub (if it's a decent sub). Or with some of the monsters out there, such as a 4" VC or certain Neos, you can run a good bit over rated.

And that's a good segway to talk about the quality of boxes too. Your box can really change how much power your woofer can handle, both mechanically and thermally.

And I'm NOT talking about finding the lowest rise, for music at least.

I don't want to hijack jt4x4's thread, so I will leave my comments on amplifiers as is. His topic of choice is certainly worthy of staying on subject.
