Figuring Out Amps

Ok I've spent a lot of time looking at material concerning the information of how an amp should match up with a speaker. I still can't really get how a few things work.

Basic Template:

Concerning Parallel:

Concerning Series:

From what I've figured out, the amp will put out a bit more than 150wRMS for each speaker which I know is underpowered but I don't think I need to fully power or even over power right now. Also, is it ok to over power the speakers? Like if I run 250 or even 300 to a 200wRMS sub, will anything be a problem? Also can someone PLEASE explain to me how the hell this amp is going to put out that many watts to each speaker? I was under the impression you take the 150wRMS x1 @ 4 ohms and divide the 150 by 2 since it's gonna be powering 2 speakers instead of one... In this case I'd have 75wRMS x2 @ 4ohms which would suck (under 50% power would be really wasteful.).

Oh man... This stuff is great.  I'm not a guy for wiring or impedance but here goes.   The setup you've got now:  2 subs, handle 200 watts each and are 4 ohms single voice coil?  You've got one amp that puts out 150 watts at 4 ohms and 300 watts at 2 ohms?  Is this right?

Ok well an amp can handle certain ohm loads alright?  Most go between 4 ohms and down to 2 ohms.  Some go down to 1 ohm and a few are less then that.  Now with parallel you have two, four ohm subs wired down to 2 ohms.  The amp is now "seeing" 2 ohms b/c of the way you have them wired.  So it's able to put out more power (less resistance), 300 watts of power.  Now if you have 2 4 ohm subs wired in series you should have gotten 8 ohms.  This is when the amp has a larger resistance on it now.  Don't run the amp off this setup. You will get very little power and the amp might get screwed from this.

So when you have these subs hooked up in parallel you've got a amp that's putting out 300 watts at 2 ohms and it's hooked up to two subs wired in parallel at 2 ohms that's recieving those 300 watts.  An even 150 watts for each speaker.  Yes underpowered but it's not going to damage the speaker.  Underpowering a subwoofer WILL NOT DAMAGE IT!!!  Now overpowering is not bad, to a certain point.  250 will probably be ok.  What subs are they?  300 for one I would be careful with.  If you're gain's set right it would probably be ok but...

Ok well that is making sense to me now. Yet everyone I have talked to so far in person has said the mono block amp will handle the 2 subs fine and put out over 150 for each speaker...

The subs are Rockford Stage 2 Punches and its using the P3001 Monoblock Punch Amp.

So 150 of 200 is ok for no damage. Will it still put out a good bump? (Assuming they both do receive 150 each.) This is a 1-channel amp, so it will have to be wired in series. Obviously if some other wiring guys could confirm that this will be lacking power I'd really like to know so I can start looking at a higher end amp. I am most likely going to a specialty place in Dayton, OH later or tomorrow to find out some info. I'd really appreciate anyone who knows their wires(no offense box) to speak up!

Actually I went to a place tonight and I have decided to upgrade the package to a better system that I like a lot more.

Going to go with 2 12" Kicker L5 Subs and run a 1100 Watt Class-D Memphis 5-channel amp to power that and my interior speakers. Should pound so beast like. I got to actually here the power of these damn subs as if they were in my car(Wired like one and such running through amps and such.) Gonna post and see what people think.
