I'm kind of a noob at going over RMS but I was thinking of getting the new alpine 8" with some extra money from my birthday and since it's rated at 350RMS and my amp puts out 400wRMS at 1ohm I was wondering if there are some tips for running over RMS or should I just get a dual 4 ohm and run it at 2 ohms for 275w?

you really should be fine going 50 over after imp rise you will more than likely be below 350.

Alright cool.

Thanks.

Like they said above, set the gains right and avoid distortion. Dirty power is the enemy. If it is nice clean power, you could run 500RMS to it, if it isn't clean power, don't even try it.

Ya you should be just fine. I was running a 12'' type r at 2ohm on an alpine mrp m1000. Had the gains set and bumped for a long time. Its when i wanted just a little more out of it that i turned the gain up a little more, and a week later I had a blown sub. So as long as its tuned properly you will be fine.
