[QUOTE="sceroguitars, post: 8823155, member: 687453"] Help me understand: Was running a Kicker Mono amp @ 150W 4ohm into my Image Dynamics IDQS8 Sub, and sounded decent. Decent volume and bass. Upgraded the amp to a Focal Solid1 (at Woofers Etc recomendation) at 300W @ 4ohm, and now the output volume and overall bass is far less…can’t get it close to the Kicker, without almost maxing out the gain. Something I might be missing? The sub is 150W RMS, 250 Max, but Woofers Etc swore to me this would be safe, if I used the Solid 1 sparingly/wisely. [/QUOTE]
