ya. but that was really weird though on those amps because they are only 150 watts difference and it was alot more than that and the price is about 1/2.

Well I am going to go against the grain here...
I think your e1200 may be putting close to 200 watts @ 4ohms with the engine running. In which case a 50watt increase wont be much gain if any at all.

I am going to guess that you suspect the amp is underpowering the sub by 1 of 2 reasons...

1) the specs are eating away at your curiosity... to which I have to say this... the JL e6450 a 6 channel amp was tested @ 300+watts bridged & it is rated @ no more than 150watts... food for thought, and a good reason to have it benched.

2) Your sub setup isn't as loud as you expected... this could be attributed to the box (type & or build) or it simply just isn't capable of the spl levels you want.
