[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 719569, member: 555320"] Quite easily, because: [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif[/IMG] Chances are that amp isn't underrated by too much (if any)....it'll probably give you right around 200w. You might notice some difference going from 200w to 350w....but I doubt the sub could handle it. And you definitely wouldn't notice a difference going from 200w to 250w....there difference in power is just too small. General (theoretical) rule of thumb is that doubling power gives you an increase of 3db (without taking into account power and Bl compression and such). 3db isn't a [I]huge[/I] difference to the ear (i.e. it will sound louder, but not [I]drastically[/I] louder). Increasing the power by 50w would at best yield an increase of less than 1db....which absolutely wouldn't be audible. [/QUOTE]
