    No dont worry about it, dont send the amp into clipping and adjust your gains to the HU's voltage and you would be fine

    That sony puts out 500w rms not 1000, that is "peak" power, which is marketing bull to get people to buy their amps thinking they put out alot of power.

    Ive ran an audiopipe 1500w for about 4 months, pretty solid amp, i just got rid of it to upgrade to a larger amp/subs. If your on a budget thats what i would get.

    Also i see nobody here told you, get a good custom built enclosure, don't get a simple prefab box...they will make your subs sound like complete poop...(can sound better/louder)

    either one is good it automatically comes with the bass knob

    you would have to run the sony amp with the subs in series and parallel or it might exceed the ohm load burning the amp and possibly blowing the subs and don't turn the gain up thinking the subs can handle it because they need more power you just start distorting and blow em.

    Sorry about that didn't look through his other threads, wanted to point it out since the enclosure is very important to how you want your system to sound..(Pretty sure you know)

    That's y I sed 1kwm=1000 watt max lol. But iv ran 2 wall mart special pioneer subs, a kicker l7 10 (that I blew becas I had it wired at one ohm and I didn't know it) and my current l5 with the gain compleatly up and have had no problems with cliping or any probs for that mater and I had th pioneers hooked for awile (and i didnt know the l7 10 was 2ohm)

    What i like to do is turn on a 50hz 0db track, put the volume on 3/4 of the max possible volume, turn off all EQ, bass boost ect off. I turn the gain to a minimum and start the track on repeat. Turn the gain up until you hear ANY amount of distortion, then back it down a little.
    This is your maximum gain setting for those subs, anything more they will be distorting, which will lead to problems...

    Ive been using this method for years, i have yet to blow a single sub, or single amplifier.

    I'm sticking with the amp I linked earlier in the thread(soundstream)that Audiopipe looks ok too,but anyways you can download 50hz tracks from the internet.Just google search it.It's not a song or music,it's just a tone.
