[QUOTE="forbidden, post: 1680061, member: 552189"] This is what I figured it would be from your first post. Can you hook it up, sure you can. Will it fry on you in time, yes it will UNLESS you do not take the volume dial to max output and leave it there, matter of fact, not even max output. You will be safe as long as the sub has time to cool it's vicecoils. So watch the prolonged use of the sub, even in brief spurts this much power can cause damage to your sub. Once a sub is damaged it is a downward spiral from that point on. Take the time and read the links I gave you above for a better understanding. By far the safest way to use your amp with this one sub is to wire it in a series circuit and make the load 8 ohms. This will knock the amps power back to something that the sub is going to be much better at handling and dissipating the heat generated. In this case, it is a bad match of amp to sub if the power ratings you have given are both RMS ratings. [/QUOTE]
