[QUOTE="dragon.breath, post: 8832462, member: 582656"] Power Acoustik amplifiers generally dyno at about half of the power that they are rated for. ( in other words a P.A. amplifier rated for 2000 watts rms, will make around 1000 watts rms. ). It stands to reason that the subwoofers will be rated the same way. So your 2500 watt max, 1200 watts rms rated subwoofer can probably really handle around 600 watts rms. So you are driving a 600 watt subwoofer with a 1000 watt amplifier. You can do that, if you are super conservative with the amplifier gain and bass boost settings. You already know what happens if you throw full power to it. [/QUOTE]
