What subs will work?

no, i have ran subs with 200 watts rms on an orion 2500 watt mono amp. It wont hurt anything, but in a lower powered system you should ball park the ratings of the amp and the subs (id go with any subs rated from 150-300 watts rms...and try to get the more sensitive ones higher than 90db sensitivity) but its really not critical to perfectly match numbers. You will know when a sub is being overdriven...it will sound like a-- as high volumes...

cool, thanks, I just got 2 subs, 175RMS each so I guess it will work. I don't need that great of sound as I really don't feel like playing mad loud music on my way to buy milk at the store or somthing. thanks for all the input, helped alot

Like he said...use the amp for your speakers, get something else for your subs
