Do you guys think my DEI 1100d will be too much for my 2 Digital Acoustik 12" subs? The only reason why I have them was that a friend of mine was going to buy them(He was buying them from me) and after I got them he told me he would pay me and then ended never doing it. I haven't even used my DEI 1100d yet because the sub I was going to use on it got a crack in it. But do you think the amp will be too much for these?

You could always turn the gain down on the amp. I don't know much about those subs but the directed amps were decent.

just only turn it up until the subs don't sound right, then turn it down 2 notches, and make that the setting for where you never turn it up past, , , follow that and you should be fine.

And wire the subs in series as well will knock down the power considerably.
