[QUOTE="Lakota, post: 5777578, member: 559574"] Just setup your system to where it sounds good and can play without making the coils stink or the sub bottom out. If you're able to do that then that's all you need to worry about. Don't be so concerned with every little watt, because in the real world you're not going to see the power that amp is rated for. Impedance rise, voltage drops, box design, signal strength, frequency, etc. all play a big role in how much power your subs can handle and how much power they will actually receive. You should also keep in mind that a sub's rated rms doesn't mean jack. Some subs are way overrated in power handling and some are extremely underrated like Audioque. What am I trying to get at? If the subs start to smell, turn the volume down. If the sub is bottoming out, turn the volume down. Develop good senses and you don't have to worry so much. [/QUOTE]
