Re: Sub/Amp power
Basically, both amps and subs have maximum (or recommended) power ratings. Let's say your amp has a maximum output of 200 watts of continuous RMS output and your subs have a recommended RMS power rating of only about 150 watts. This means that, on average, your 150 rated subs are recieving 200 watts of power. This wears them down faster and if your amp is too powerful, you could damage the subs.
That's why you want them to have ratings that are very close to each other, if not equal. The same goes for having an amp that's too weak for the subs: you wont get good sounds b/c your subs basically aren't getting the power they need to perform the best.
