It will cut your power output in half. Seeing the wattage that you have listed
for this amp is in "Peak Power" you should get around 50 - 60 watts RMS per
coil cranked up. As for your SQ, I have always found that under powering a sub
sounds like a wet fart and I have also found this to be even more true when
using lite duty amps such as Crunch. My advice is to try it out for yourself
and see how you like it.



I figured this was a light-duty amp considering the cost. I am on a
budget, so this is what I could afford. Depending on how this setup
sounds, I can see myself transferring this amp to the other car - a car
that has 4 speakers that will utilize all 4 channels of this amp.
I really appreciate your advice. I was a little afraid to ask what
wattage would end up at each coil. I didn't want it to sound like I
was just in it for the big numbers. I really like a nice tight, clean,
punchy sound in my music.

There I go... starting to worry again. Must relax, must relax, must
relax.

Thanks!
