[QUOTE="Fonzy, post: 20861, member: 542160"] I have 2 kenwood subs rated at 150 RMS each. I went to a local audio store and I was looking at an alpine V12 amp. its rated at 225 RMS x2. The guy who works there came along, I told him what subs I had and he said "You can use this amp if you turn the gain levels down". Im thinking to myself "Gain and RMS power are two different things and if you connect too much RMS power to a sub youre gonna blow it no matter what the gain is set at" Am I right? [/QUOTE]
