[QUOTE="Umbra, post: 8502340, member: 658055"] The amp has a 30A fuse in it. There's no way that's doing anywhere near 800W RMS. I'd guess is probably more like 400W RMS (if you're lucky) @2 and 200W @ 4. To get 4 ohm final (at the amp), get a 4 ohm sub, or a dual 2 ohm (wire in series) to get 2 ohm final, get a 2 ohm sub or a dual 4 (wire in parallel) Make sure you're setting the gain correctly (it's not a volume knob) and don't use the bass boost. It should last a long time. If it's not loud enough buy bigger. The P1 is fine, but there are better subs for the money. If I were doing an 8" I'd try the American Bass XD844: [URL="http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_90867_American-Bass-XD-844.html"]American Bass XD844 8" XD Series Dual 4 ohm Car Subwoofer[/URL] [/QUOTE]
