I have a destroyer 4 pill it has 2879 in it. i have a 2 pill with 2879 in it. 2 pill will do about 200-250 on 14 volts. is the 2 pill to much of a driver for the 4 pill? thanks
 

The reason I asked I have a 2x4 also. So I thought my straight 4 pill needed a 2 pill driver to thanks for the info

Those 2x4 amplifiers are really piss poor creations, complete waste of driver pills. They have to padd the driver stage down so much to eat up all the excess wattage. All that does is create heat and draw a bunch of amperage.

As far as that 4 pill, I would keep the input wattage under 100 peak. The only reason I rate it that much is it's a class C comp style box. As stated just a 30-40 watt radio will do the job.
