The lower the gain, the better the output quality you'll have, concerning clean power.

Ummm, I would've went with the SWS-1241, not the SWS-1241D ... Bridging the 300S to 2 ohms is just asking for trouble ...

If it's bridged and wired in parallel, yes ...

The SWS-1241D is a dual 4 ohm driver, meaning the coils can either be wired in parallel (2 ohms) or series (8 ohms) ...
