[QUOTE="Nikuk, post: 630619, member: 555692"] I'm aware of the ratings. Have you ever put 200rms to two subs? they still do their jobs. You dont have to feed a driver its full rms. The rms is generally the manufacturers recommended thermal rating to avoid driver breakage. Does that mean you should run them right up to that rating constantly? You can also compensate low wattage supply by building a slightly larger box (vB), which is usually much cheaper then purchasing a larger amp. BTW, if you'd read the post you would've noticed that I suggested (IMO) for him to get a larger amp if economically viable. Otherwise, this one will work. BTW again, if the amp does in fact put out only 225@4ohms, and the drivers handle a combined 600rms... he prolly could clip the amp out and the subs would prolly work just as well. Just not sound proper.... like alot of 'street beater's' 'round here. -Nick It's his money, let him spend it. It's our [I]opinions[/I]. [/QUOTE]
