Well if any of you have read my other post i have finally made my decision. None of what i posted BTW.

Ok well i am going to add another Alpine Type R SWR-1241D to the 3 I already have. Is this Phoenix Gold Xenon 1200.1 going to be enought for the 4 Subs. I figure it like this : This amp puts out at minium 1200 watts RMS at any ohm's so if you devide that by 4 its 300 watts RMS per sub lets say (correct me if i am wrong in thinking this) Well these subs only take 300 watts RMS anyways. That is the maximun wattage for these subs ; Do i really need another amp? I will buy another PG Xenon 1200.1 if needed but i really dont think i will.  Thanks in advance for the advice and comments.

One Xenon would be sufficient.

I think that one amp will suffice.
