Hi,
will the amp really send 2300W from it's terminals?
How much of the 2300W arrives at the driver when it is only 1ohm? (that is 68Vpk and 68Apk into a 1r0 resistive load and should maintain at least 60Vpk and 120Apk into 0r5 resistive load, If it cannot manage this then someone is telling lies about it's long term ability to deliver power to your speaker).

For a conventional system I would usually recommend that the amplifier be more powerful than the rms capacity of the driver. say 200W driver then 200 to 400W amplifier, (into 8ohms I could check that the amp actually achieves it's specification).
