do you know the model number offhand? some of the older audiobahns had mechanical problems accepting thier rated RMS power (especially in a massive vented box like i have).

as a general rule, just get the highest power GOOD QUALITY amp you can afford, and adjust the gains as needed. that will insure clean power without clipping and give you room to expand in the future. a small amp with improperly matched gains will not hurt the subs, but it might not sound good.
