Default Another amp question -_-

I wish I wasnt so dumb to this shit haha

Would an amp that has roughly 100 more watts than needed for RMS to the subs blow my subs? Or would it just not make a difference?

Thanks <333lawl

That will be fine. It's always better to turn the gain down than up. 100W isn't much difference, and it's always better (and cleaner sounding) to have more amp power and not use it instead of trying to stretch a lower powered amp into it's high distortion range.
You have a little room to work with if you want to go with bigger or beefier subs too, or go to a sealed enclosure (which sound great but don't have the best efficiency).
