Post Number: 11820 Registered: Jun-06 | Back in the day(years ago) I ran two 12" subs in my box off a 300w "drive series" amp mounted on the back of my box. It looked cool. The backlit meters fluttering with the beat and all. Awesome in it's time. Did no damage to the amp. But that was with only 300w. Today's amps/subs........well........ |
