Default Amp output question?

As stated above I have a question about amp output. I am going to run my system with a Mmats SQ 4150 the specs are as follows;
SPECIFICATIONS
SQ4150
4 x 150Wrms @ 4 ohm
2 X 300Wrms @ 4 ohm mono
Frequency Response (-3db) 10Hz to 50KHz
Signal to Noise Ratio -105db A weighted
Distortion @ Rated Output <0.05% THD+N
Damping Factor @ 100 Hz >125
Input Sensitivity 150mV to 2.5Vrms
Idle Current 1 amp
I will be running a set of CDT three way comps in the doors with two channels and a single 10" sub, brand and make not decided, with the other two.
Soooo, what would you think the sub channels will put out at two ohms mono?
Also, recommendations on a good SQ sub to fit the output wattage would be sweet!

Thanks for the info,

Darion

Typically, with a quality amp rated at 150 watts per channel (two channels) will, when bridged, give you a single 600 watts into 4 ohnm load. You do not want to run below a 4 ohm load in a bridged load, but again there are exceptions. Only the amp's manual will know for sure

Thanks for the reply. Sent several E-mails off to Mmats but no response what-so-ever. I have read that they have poor customer service and that looks to be true. Anyway, I think I'm going to use a two amp setup which will make everything much more simple.

Thanks again,

Darion
