300W rms to a 12W1 is not bad, but it is on the low end, with no headroom as the amp is bridged to get that. Can be some other factors, like amp tune and enclosure design. Lets presume its built to the suggested 1.1 ft3. Thats could be a little mellow with only 300W. Reduce it might pep up the woofer's response. Also hard to make a comparison without knowing all the details of the old setup. Might be worth pulling the driver and measuring the enclosure just to be sure you know what you have.

thanks for the info mike.
I'll do some measuring this weekend to see what it is.
I would go with the htx-4 but I already have the dx2 amp. purchased.
do you think I would be better suited to change the wiring setup
ht6 ch 1,2,3,4 bridged for the rev 8's ch 5,6 for the front xs650 inboats
ht2 or dx2 for the rear 4 xs650 cabins (2ohm) a bit over powered but I assume could be tuned correctly
ht2 or dx2 bridged for the sub.
I am pretty much set on equipment except the sub replacement so I am hoping what I have will work
