Who has used American Bass XFL 1544's ?

I was just wanting to get opinions / experiences from people who have used American Bass XFL 1544's. Can these subs handle a little more than their rated power of 1000wrms? I have a Hifonics BRZ2400.1D - 2400wrms into 1 ohm, and two of these subs (all dual 4's so I can wire them down to 1 ohm). I was wondering if it would be too risky running this Hifonics amp with it?

My box is ported and tuned to 35Hz...

You should be just fine as long as you set your gains correctly and they recieve clean powa.

You aren't gonna see 1200 a piece anyway after rise. You'll be fine.... Listen to Dtrom155 though. Get a dmm and set your gains right.

This brings me to another dilemma I have -

1. When setting the gains with a dmm, do the subs need to me connected to the amp together with the dmm so it presents a load? I always thought that connecting just the dmm alone would give a high false reading since there is no real load on the sub amp?

2. Should I set the gain for the full 2400wrms (with the ac volts on the dmm)?
