Then its likely on a Sound Lab its not as much power as you think, due to the impedance curve at low frequencies.
So as a general rule of thumb, divide by 4 to get the solid state power on them. So if you have a 400 Watt (into 8 Ohms) solid state amp, its able to make about 100 Watts on this account.
So (IME) you really need a 600-800 Watt solid state amp to make the Sound Labs really fly.
