What's safe to run these drivers at? Looking at an amp that's 3.2Kw per side at 4ohms to run 4

sounds good, they like a clean 1000w/channel with headroom to spare...

just don't thrash em and they will sound great!!

I would also say it depends what amp your looking at, if it's budget, then I'd go for better quality with less power.
