Ok, so I have a 520 watt 4 channel amp.
The plan is, to have 2 channels powering my components. One for each set. Then, to bridge a channel and have it power my sub. Is that a good idea - because with this setup I cannot independently control the volume of the sub/components. My sub is rated at 175 watts RMS, and the amp is going to be pushing 220ish to it. So thats why I'm afraid if I turn up my speakers, I'm going to toast my sub. What do you think?

shouldn't be a problem. an extra 45 watts isn't gonna blow that sub, unless your clipping. just make sure the gains are set appropriatly and that you have the crossovers, HU or Amp, set right. |

do you have 1set of components=2mids, tweets etc, because 2 sets of components is 4 mids, tweets, etc. those kappas are 2ohms, so you have to run them stereo mode on any amp. |
