[QUOTE="helotaxi, post: 4687652, member: 550915"] Wow.... The sub can handle 375w of a continuous sine wave. That is what the RMS rating is telling you. Music is neither continuous nor a pure sine wave. An amp rated for 425ish and set just below clipping with a sine wave will only average out to around 50-100w with music. The sub can handle a lot larger amp that what it is rated for provided you are only playing real music. Stuff with really loud droning bass brings the average power output up a good bit but still not to full RMS. Bottom line, you sub will be fine. [/QUOTE]
