[QUOTE="Alaxan, post: 72093, member: 544457"] Hmmmm..... Ok here goes....Your speakers have no affect on the amps rating aside from the load or ohms rating they put on it. You can have a speaker rated at 1000watts and run it fine with a 100 watt amp.....Will it sound as good? Not nearly. Will it still operate and play music? Yes just at a much lower level. This is the reason, or part of it, why manufacturers give rms and peak handling capabilities. It allows people to determine which amp will be best for which sub etc..... It matters greatly on what type of amp you have as to what type of sub or how many subs you want to hook up and run and not end up frying an amp or blowing a speaker. It would be best if you already had one or the other (subs or amp) so that it would be easiest to go from there and determine the way the subs are wired to the amp and what it can be capable of handling and doing.
