[QUOTE="ademotte89, post: 8587441, member: 673486"] Hi! I recently removed my subs in my ford escape because I wanted to get my cargo room back and am forced to use a shallow 8" subwoofer for the factory enclosure. So I bought the MB Quart DS1-204. It's a 200w rms and 400w max sub. Anyway! The sub channel on the amp I have in the car says 350W @ 4ohms and 500W @ 2ohms. Sub is a 40hm DVC. SO! I either have to wire it to 2ohms @500rms or 8ohms and probably get around 175rms. I know you can over power subs but is that way too much or would it be okay if I was careful with the tuning process. I use an O-scope so I can make sure it's all dialed in I just don't know if all the extra power might fry the sub. I know it probably wont REALLY be getting 500w too so maybe its safe? Thanks in advance [/QUOTE]
