[QUOTE="mat3833, post: 8801868, member: 587645"] In my experience, I don't like to pair subs with a 1000w rating and an amp with a 1000w rating. The quickest way to kill a sub is sending it a clipped signal and when you run an amp at its rated power its very easy to accidentally clip the signal and cook the woofer. Never actually done it with subs before, but I've been lucky. I'd rather see a 2k sub and a 1k amp or a 1k sub and a 2k amp. The 2k sub can most likely handle a little clipping at the 1k power. And the 1k sub will probably take 1500w of clean power so if you set your gains to 1k you end up in a safe clip-free zone. Matt [/QUOTE]
