will my subs drown out my speakers?

[noob with an RS 10+ year member]

hey, i plan to get an IDmax or two in the future.. 12 inchers. They are going to be paired up with my Infinity Perfect 6.1 Components which are being powered by a hifonics NX600 (150x2). i plan to power the IDmax's with 1000 watts each.. or maybe less like 800 each. will my subs drown out my components?? i read in the crutchfield a few years back that they suggest running subs that are getting as much power as your components. if this is true then my components can only receive about 1/6 power of what i plan to power my subs with.. how will that sound??

no i dont agree with that statement by crutchfield at all. Not only will they be fine with loud subs, but even if they werent you can always turn down the volume on the woofers...

yeah if your speakers actually get 150 watts theyll scream and if your subs are in the trunk the components wil be plenty loud like reallly loud let me put it this way my speakers were getting just the "60 by 4" Of an alpine and they were prety much loud enough to go with a 1500bx on a brahma so it should work
