amp and sub compatability

I am getting some information gathered about my audio system.

I am looking at a single 10" Polk Audio db Series SVC ( http://www.polkaudio.com/caraudio/specs/subs/10inch/db1040/), and i am hoping to run it off of an Orion XTR 275 amp in mono, in a sealed enclosure. I beleive the amp runs 300 watts in mono, although i'm not sure if that is peak or continuous. i haven't been successful at finding that info online. Do you think these are compatible? or would a DVC be much more compatible? Could I just play with the gains and be safe? I like Polk in terms of sound (I have had them before) and price (I was recently laid off). But, I also don't want to blow the sub because it wasn't compatible with the amp I already own.

Any help or suggestions would be great...thanks in advance!

I was definitely gonna keep it bridged at 4 ohms. I will also play with the gains based on the sticky's protocol, I was just looking for some reassurance.

so i think i will go with that for now then...a 10" svc polk run at 4 ohms off of the orion 275xtr mono.

i love the amp. i have had it about 11 years now, but it hasn't been used since '99. i bought it new. i had 3 at one time, unfortunately now, i'm down to the one...but oh well.

Thanks for the help. i also have another car, that i am looking to experiment with in terms of audio systems. different speakers and balls to the wall SQ (i hope). i am not bound by time on it - just budget for now. i am gonna finish my daily driver first (on a budget) and save up for the the other project.
