the kenny's power is slightly over rated it will do about the same as the jbl

but this is also a nice buy

buy my JBL G) 75.4 amp, ?130 on eebs, never used, ?80 ono

[ednovasr2]

Been told by top guys to always run at least the max input of sub power from an amp. Ie max sub input of 300watt RMS amp must be 300watt RMS or more 350-400 to be on safe side with gain on min to half way!

Other wise amp will send distorted signal to sub and over time sub will die or become intermitant due to voice coild melting,wear out, edge/suspension breaks up etc...

U should never run an amp on limmit should be under run (just like P.C's 60% memory free at all times both ram and Hard Disk)

I run singal 1200watt Black air vibe sub (max input 350watt RMS) in sealed box (MDF, Fiberglass & sillicone) with V12 Alpine amp that kicks out 500watt RMS at 4 om. Gain up like 1/4 if that!
Very deep and crisp (volume best with just two windows down, not with boot open! Ported box best if boot open all time @ cruise/shows etc..so I'm told!!).

Hope that helps???

you can run lower, no worries as long as the gains are set correctly, if gain to high then you can send a clipped signal, but to much power for long periods can also damage subs, but this is down to thermal limits i ran a 300wrms foal on 600 and it loves it but get hot, very hot, jbl's gt4's will also sing on 500wrms but heard one on 180wms the other day and it sounded good to

the pioneers spls tend not to like more than 1kwrms and go pop, sound poo on less than the recomended 750wrms though, saying that there not really musical subs so sound pap what ever you chuck at them

ported subs will take a little more power

i abit of head room is always good i do agree with you
