power to 2 re 8s

[missionpilot 10+ year member]

Hey, i was wondering if the re 8s are underated, and how much power they can safely handle. Right now i have an MA Audio amp that is 200x2 at 2ohms, do you think that that will work fine, or what do you suggest? Thanks. Any help is highly appreciated. John

Should be fine. Volume/gain master is something you don't want to be.

If you start to hear them distort, don't keep turning it up.

Set the gains properly and don't crank them and the bass boost.

200 watts is plenty in my opinion.
