what is in the best interest of my subs?

I have two DVC pioneers rated at 400rms @ 2ohms hooked up to a dual channel Power Acoustik amp rated at 370RMS @ 2ohms x 2 or 450RMS @ 4 ohms x 2.

-overpowering them by 50 RMS?
-underpowering them by 30 RMS?

thanks

It won't matter, as long as you adjust your gains appropriately.

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."
