Is my amp too strong for my subs?

[Josh Z]

I have two Kicker Comp 4 ohm subwoofers, and a Kicker zx450.2 amp, i havent onatalled it yet because i need to make a box still and havent had much time, im worried that my amp might overpower my subs. Will it?

No...as long as you set the gain correct.

That amp might be 150 watts RMS x 2 at 4 ohms.

Those subs might be 300 watts peak, 150 watts RMS.

If you run those one sub per channel, no problem. (150 watts per sub)

If you run both subs, wired in parallel, run the amp in mono, pry still fine with the gains set correctly. (225 watts per sub)

It's all about setting the gains correctly.
