[QUOTE="microhaxo, post: 5289623, member: 570733"] You can end up blowing 300w subs with a 200w amp easily. Here is an example, i once had an amp, Lightning Audio 150.1 and it was a nice little amp. Only supposed to do 75w x2 and 100w x1 i believe at 4 ohm.. I had that amp running at 300w at 4 ohm and it never overheated etc.. But the thing is, the signal i was sending was clipped, I could have damaged the sub. Anyway the point of this is that even with a 300w amp for a 300w rms subwoofer you can still mess it up. Better to get a higher power amp than to try to push an amp to its maximum limit. You might end up that the amp can only output 250w clean and that last 50 w is dirty.. you dont want that.. that is the problem i have with my 500w rms amp, i think it can do about 360 watts clean and the rest is pushing the amp. Get a higher power so you have headroom to grow, make sure the amp is tuned properly so that you dont go a watt over 300.
