is it ok to power a JL 10w3v2 with 550rms if i set the gains to min? or is that too much?

You could power it with a 55,000 RMS amp if you know what you're doing ...

But, yes, by gaining down you can reduce the average power output to the subwoofer into a safe zone depending on pre-out voltage ...

Voltage = Square Root of (Power x Resistance)

e.g. 300 watts @ 2 ohms
V = Sqrt(300*2)
V = sqrt(600)
V = 24.5 volts

Who has the thermo-nuclear power plant for that power? On wheels.

hey man... the cold air intake on my buddy's pimped out civic adds more power than that... he knows everything, cause he works part time at a garage.

^^I detected a suttle hint of sarcasm from your latest remark Sassmaster. Very nice I might add...
