Just bought a pair of OZ vectors - need advice

Sup guys

Just bought a pair of OZ vector 10's, single coil 4 ohm... got a hell of a deal I think

Anybody know the #'s on these subs? The box says 500W MAX but i dont know if thats RMS or peak....

Right now I am pushing these with a small Alpine MRP-M350 which pushes 350 watts RMSx1 at 2 ohms

(2 4ohm subs wired in parallel would make 2 ohms right?)

Is this amp dangerously small for this setup? I do plan on upgrading the amp but wondering if the Alpine is safe to use as a temporary (and to break in the subs)

Also, should I go ported or keep it sealed? I'm not familiar with these subs at all.

Thanks in advance

running less power won't hurt the subs as long as you don't clip it too bad. 500 Max should be around 250 RMS

Oh man those are the older vectors! Nice subs! I loved mine, I pushed 500w to the pair of mine. Got plenty loud for me and sounded great.

haha glad someone is as excited as me. I paid $65 for both subs brand new in box, as well as a dual 10 sealed box slightly used. Good deal or no?

Anyone else have anything to say about this amp wired to this particular setup?

**** good deal bro! As was stated before you're not going to hurt them by running to little power to them, as long as you don't have your gain all the way up and are clipping.
