I have a Kenwood Shallow Mount Sub, which is rated for 350w rms, and 1400w peak. There is also a 700w max power handling on the sub, and I was wondering if max handling means its safe to run a amp at that many watts constantly.

I have a Kenwood 1800w Class D Mono Amplifier that runs at 900w rms at 2 ohms. My speaker has a SVC, and runs at 4 ohms, so there aren't many wiring options for me to work with.
Please let me know, I don't want to waste $200 by blowing my sub.
From My experience, you system will always sound better with more power from your amp then your sub needs. This way your amp isn't working as hard, you will get a good clean sound. You can always turn your gain down. Obviously to much power to a sub will make it distort terribly anyways. I think you will be fine.
