    all the sub watt rating is for is to say how much heat the VC can withstand. so you can use 1 600 watt amp on 2 600 watt subs, your subs would just be under powered which will NOT hurt them

    of course you can underpower subs. but why? if that was the case, you may as well use the amp to fully power just 1 sub. using a 600 watt amp to power 2 600 watt subs would be a waste of money.

    and RMS matching for someone who is new to audio is a good way to look at things. obviously there is much more to it, like knowing the true limits of a sub or the true power of an amp, as well as correctly settings gains to use things correctly. but for someone who is considering the most basic system such as 99galant, if he is looking to do some searching on his own, checking out the RMS rating is the best thing to look for
