True true however you can still run it @ 400 pretty good.

Oh yeah lol forget it amps are pricey thats what I hate cuz you can get power full speakers an subs but theres no point if you cant support the wattige. I have 2 900 watts speakers but I bought them for 35$ with the box for each. But a 2000 watt amp is sooo much.

what?

500hz isn't a limit, it's a frequency. You can play the sub up to 20khz if you want but it'll sound like ass. I don't really know what you were saying here....regardless of what frequency the power rating is tested (which I doubt it even is) at, their power ratings are still optimistic. I've read so many threads where people blew their 600rms audiobahn subs with a 400rms amp with properly set gains, it gets annoying reading the same thing time and time again.
