I'm thinking about keeping just the one amp for now (on a college budget

but will definiely go with a bigger amp later on) and I just checked crutchfield and they said the subs need between 50W-150WRMS. I know for a fact the amp can do this on stereo (2x50W RMS). I was just wonderin how much RMS the amp cranks out at 8 ohms (running them in series bridged) if it is rated at 1x150W RMS at 4 ohms. I would thinking 75W but I could be wrong. Will I even tell a difference?
