I'm forced for give my two 12" re res 250w...the rms is 175

ESX Quantum 1752 stereo amplifier. Class A/B. 175Wx2 into 4ohms, 250Wx2 into 2ohms. Can be bridged into any load from 1 to 4ohms for 460, 450, and 500 rated watts, respectively, @ 12V. The amplifier does this through use of selectable synchronous bridging, high-voltage, and true mono modes. The synchronous bridging feature allows for symmetrical clipping, which is an improvement over the a-symmetrical clipping found in most bridged car amplifiers. The Q1752 can be strapped with an identical amplifier for 900W into 2 or 4ohms. Crossover is 12 dB/oct. stereo, 24 dB/oct. bridged mono. Fully adjustable from 50 to 4.2k Hz, switchable high/low, with line output. Bass boost variable from 0-18 dB centered @ 43Hz. This amplifier has both unbalanced RCA-type inputs, which handle up to 9V, as well as miniature 6-pin DIN socket balanced inputs, which handle up to 18V.

those are the amp specs. If I give my woofers 250w each, they will still perform decently if I keep the gain down wont they?

Im sure they can take it, but you might want to put them in a sealed box, just incase.

If you keep the gain down, then you won't be giving them 250w each //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Just because the amp puts out 250w doesn't mean you have to use all of it. You should be able to tell when they are nearing their limits.

Just use the gain/volume control wisely.
