[QUOTE="joshpoints, post: 1963619, member: 546465"] I'd be afraid of clipping. I don't trust sony or kenwood amps. Especially when it's not a class D amp. I'd say be very careful with your gain setting and save for a better amp or you're going to mess up that speaker. I have my kenwood amp feeding 150 RMS to each of my ED 10's(mine are rated for 300 watss rms each) right now and I set the gains conservative due to fear of pushing the amp into clipping. It's going to sound much better when you get a better amp. 80 watts is way underpowering that sub. My setup right now is pathetic compared to when I had my subs powered by a quality amp that put out 600 watts rms (300 per speaker). I'd get a class D amp way more flexible which is nice if you plan on adding speakers or changing to different ohm speaker. [/QUOTE]
