Antik years and years ago I ran a PPI Art Series 300W amp on 2 JL 12's using 8 gauge wiring and never suffered blinking or anything.
My last major setup in my Civic was 2 Kenwood 12's powered by a US Acoustics 4085 also powering 6 inch Blaupunkt separates in the kicks. 8 gauge wiring done by myself and never had a problem.

Now for the OP, I am on my second Bazooka tube I have a 10" non powered version and right now I am running about 200w. I am out of my "everyone needs to hear me coming stage" so with the OEM Bose fronts(no rears) I love the sound. The 10 inch goes just low enough that I get good base, I will say that 200W is about all I would throw at the sub. I have some Gospel music that will bottom out the sub. Oh yeah, the Bazooka tube doesn't quite fit in the space on the right side of the trunk, although for bass performance it is perfect. Make sure you strap down.

In a Legend w- an 18 foot power lead? I'm using an Alpine 350W class D mono-block - the Art boasts a more robust power supply than the V-Powers do but the Alpine was definitely struggling when it was pushing its hardest without the cap.

Actually, come to think of it, I was using my old battery which I was told was slightly undersized when it was replaced for what I currently have in the car.

Still... the cap took care of all issues I was having. :thumbsup:
 
No definitely not 18ft cable. More like 12-15ft at the most. I miss those Art series amps. I got what you were saying though.
Werd - I haven't had the privilege of working with the Arts yet but good PPI gear was something of legend when I first got into car audio gear and their reputation seems to have sustained itself since; I frequently see high praise about the Arts as they're traded among car audio forums, eBay, etc.

I'm not at all surprised you miss them :)
