4 10" pioneers in 98 2door

[98_2dr_hoe]

So I ordered 4 pioneer 10s for my hoe. They are 350w rms each and altogether 1,400w. Right now I have 2 pioneer 8s with 120w rms each they're single voice coil and are wired at 4ohms, each sub is on it's own channel. They are being powered by an Orion XTR 600.2, it is a 2 channel amp. It puts out 150w to each channel at 4ohms, 300w per channel at 2ohms, 600w bridged at 4ohms, and 1,200w bridged at 2ohms.

The 10s are dual voice coil 4ohm subs and I was planning to wire them together at 2ohms and bridge the amp so the subs will have 1200w powering them.

My question is Will I have problems if I under power my subs by 200w?

Here's the link for the subs:http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Car/Subwoofers/Champion+Series/TS-W260D4

Here's the link for the amp:http://m.orioncaraudio.com/xtr-2-ch-with-crossover-/441-xtr6002.html

Thanks

No, it is not a problem running low on power if you don`t play at max. The problem with low power output is that it will clip a lot faster. And remember that this amp is rated this power with optimal voltage. As soon as your voltage drop the amp would have less power, I always use a amp rated over the maximum power handling off the speaker. because you cant use the amp on max gain because off distortion and it is more safe and better sound quality when you can run your subs in the ohm they are rated, with the power they need. But it will play with less power than they need, and it is harder too destroy the subs. The amp will go first..
If it was my stereo i would use that amp for front speaker instead, and buy i bigger amp for the subs. ;-) It is a good amp, with nice sound quality!

The way I read it, you can't run that amp bridged at 2 ohms. You're going to need to wire them into two 2 ohm loads and run the amp in stereo to get 600x2 out of it or one 4 ohm load to bridge it getting 1200x1. Running 2 ohms into it bridged will at best shut it down or blow some fuses or at worst burn up your output devices.

I got a different amp. I'm running a db drive A71500 mono amp. It's wired to 2 ohms and is pushing 750 watts to one channel. I'm looking at getting a hifonics Brutus elite BEX2150.1D, it puts out 1400 watts at 2ohms.
