[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8720331, member: 650438"] Id be worried about clipping more than mechanical limits unless you listen to bass modified music with a loy of 30hz and under information. Most music out there doesn't even get close to 30hz so i doubt youll have any real mechanical issues even without a subsonic filter. The wattage stated on the amp is not the real wattage the sub sees. Theres always box rise to account for so clean wattage, the sub can handle much more than what your amp has. If you hard clip the amp, then you'll blow it regardless even with half the rms rating. Always have a lot of headroom of amplifier power so you dont have to redline the amp causing excess heat/wear along with distorted and clipped signal that comes with red lining the amp. Vs having a **** ton of headroom with a lot of power on tap having the amp barely lift a finger to get the output you need, keeping cool, efficient, and minimal THD. [/QUOTE]
