If I am running 2 12" Audiobahn Flame Subs that have 1100watts rms, at 750 each, is it too much of an underpower for the subs and will it damage them.
 






I think you'll be fine, as these subs have a rather high efficiency rating, dont remember exact #. Make sure that the 750 watts is rms power though.....what kind of amp is it??
 






I estimate that I am running about 615 watts RMS to each of my 3 1000 watt RMS ALUM12Qs, and they still perform great. I would like to give them about 800 watts each, but oh well... Perhaps an amp change is in order for the system when I transfer it to my next vehicle.

Anyway, xMax rating is achieved at about 80% RMS power, so if you are giving them 750 watts (68% RMS) you should be pretty good! ;)
