[QUOTE="MisterDeadeye, post: 7731034, member: 611015"] Well, just so you don't get stuck into bad habits from the start, RMS ratings aren't necessarily ratings you need to strive for, and depending on your enclosure, you might not even want to give your subs their rated power(depending on the size and tuning of a box, your subwoofer may reach its mechanical limits at well under half its rated power). Typically, an RMS rating is just the rating that a subwoofer manufacturer suggests not going above(usually because if a subwoofer gets too much power, it can break -- obviously). You may very well be happy with 200W per sub. [/QUOTE]
