JL 10w0 Power

I'm going to be replacing my speakers with some comps, So I was going to be getting a 5 channel amp and running the 4 comps, and 2 subs off the amp.... right now I have two 10w0's factory says RMS is 125W, I currently run them at 150W per sub.... this amp im looking at has a 400W sub output, making it 200W per sub, is that too much overpowering for those subs?

they should be fine

Just make sure you don't have any bass boost on and that your deck is set flat on the bass. It should be ok, but it is easy to bottom out those subs so be conservative.

If the amp is too much its time for an upgrade

Watch the gain and you'll be fine

Set the gain with a DMM, and you will be fine, also turn off any kind of Bass Boost, or any other so called "enhancements"

I ran my 12w0 in a sealed 1 cubic foot box off my PG amp giving it arrround 600rms. and it took it no problem. But every set up is different.
