[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 3012972, member: 561023"] Absolutely yes you could damage equipment with that amp. You've got a pair of subs that want 800-ish watts together and an amp that isn't capable of providing half that amount of output. This is actually, more often than not, the leading cause of subwoofer damage/destruction - people trying to get more out of an amp than it is designed to provide....they end up clipping the output signal because they feel that the input sensitivity is nothing more than an amp-mounted volume adjustment and consequently fry their sub(s). Using the proper formula (which you seem to have grasped at this stage) set the output for 350w. 350 is a number the amp can reasonably provide. Beyond that you're asking more of the amp than it can give you. [/QUOTE]
