I am currently redesigning my system but am having some difficulty.

Currently I am running 1 Focal 27V2 Polyglass sub with a Focal FP1.800 amp. I want to run 2 27v2's but am unsure as to whether or not 200w RMS is enough power for the subs. The subs are DVC 4 ohm with a power handling of 300RMS each. The amp puts out 400w RMS at 4 ohm with is what I would like to run it at as 1 ohm is not what I am looking for. I have been told yes and no and everything in between.

Not to be pretentious but I would prefer to hear from people who have some knowledge with Focal audio.

Those drivers will sound fine off of a couple hundred watts a piece, I know that I personally have done systems with that sub and fed them about 225 and it sounded great, dont sweat it
