i am getting today a 12" W0 sub. which are rated i think at about 150rms. i think its the 4 ohm i'm getting.
i am thinking of getting a phoenix gold amp which is 300rms at 2 ohms and 150rms at 4 ohms. Would this be ok for the sub and if the sub turned out to be a 2 ohm, could i just turn the gain down so i wouldn't damaged it?
stats of the amp are here....

Double the power, i dont think the gains could justify halfing the power to be honest, just keep praying its the 4 ohm version, then later on you can get another 4 ohm to run with it
