Slydog just did this to the Mille components...although those are rated a tad higher. I personally think 300 may be a bit too much for those speakers, but that amp has some very clean undistorted power. I would bridge it and back the power down a bit to be safe.

Those mpx are 100w rms. I wouldn't run more than 175 rms to them. I set mine with a scope bridged and still had to back off a tad. Honestly 150w rms the 600.4 puts out should do plenty for the mpx. If you go bridged I would use a dmm and set the bridged at 25v to get 175 watts. IMO you don't need that power.

I agree. I think the 175-200 is probably the sweet spot. The thing with giving so much power to those (or any) speaker is perhaps the speaker "can" take 250w, but it surely can't produce low end with that much juice. So there is a trade off. How loud can I get these speakers and still have them produce low frequencies and sound good.

If you do it you're gonna have to "Control" the power to em. Keep the gains very low and don't turn the volume up too loud. Like the old saying goes "It's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it" If there is any amp you can do it with it would be the Moto 600.4. Very clean power! and honestly I don't think you're pushing 300 watts bridged with that amp. Need my friend aawav to bench test that thing!!

Keep in mindm we are talking about RMS Watts here, not Peak.
IMHO single channel... the gain you theoretically would get is "mininmal", but the risk blowing your speakers will exponentially increase.
