i see no reason why you cant, just turn our gain down so you dont clip it and volume control is a biggie, i agree 4000 is alot for just a couple subs but if you dont try to murder them you will be ok

Good question. It boils down to a couple things. Either the subs or the amp. Either the amp isnt doing anywhere near rated because the PR's are rated at 250wrms or the subs have been rebuilt to take a boat load more power.

i dont have it turned up most of the time because i drive an iroc and i like to hear my motor, but for the time being i haven't had a problem he just refuses to believe this is possible

i appreciate the answers and the system was installed and recommended by a professional who knew i was going to be adding more in the future

What amp? Do the subs have upgraded soft parts?

I would also go to assume that they are wired at a higher ohm load to protect them from 4k rms //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/silly.gif.3549b64aaa5b6729eb8e865319a3234f.gif

No way those subs are taking that amp at full power with gains set properly. Guaranteed the amp is dialed way back or wired to so the amp sees a high load.

Not trying to bust your Cahoney's here but why would you plan to upgrade subs in the future, have a 4k rms amp, and not want them to be loud because you want to hear your engine.... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

Then they arent on 4K like your OP stated and thus your friend is right.
