[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8558985, member: 650438"] you dont have to use all of the power it can put out. with proper gain setting you'll only see XXXX amounts of power and your subs will be completely safe and your amp nice cold and efficient, longer lasting etc.. An amp barely lifting a finger to put out power will be VASTLY superior to an amp giving 110% every day. In fact not having enough power often leads to low satisfaction and raised gain settings which leads to blown subs and amps. There's box rise to account for to so it will JUST BE ENOUGH power. Learn what box rise is and you'll know why people who know what they are doing always throw 1.5x to double the amount of a sub's rms to their subs and never blow anything. [/QUOTE]
