well 1 watt will push those subs [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG].. seriously. 1 watt . now 400 will bump then quite nicely. a 600 watts amp would be Ideal, but the extra 200 watts will get you 1-2 Decibels more SPL so it's barely a difference. DOn't sweat it.

Cheers

i know a guy in new york with a trio of 10w6's and 400 watts total.

his SQ box hit over 140 at a competition, tho im sure he pulled out part of his PVC port [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

he didnt even know he was competing till that very day [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

90% install, 10% equipment. 400 watts is not enough for those subs, its too much, its absolutely perfect. its all about install. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/IMG]
