When I lived with my mother,I had an SB200 heathkit amp and only ran around 
500 to 600 watts out of it and did just fine with it anywhere I wanted to 
go. I don't think that did 160 but it went everywhere else I wanted it and 
it worked just fine. Where I live now though I wouldn't even think about 
trying it so I sold the amp. 100 watts is all you get here, I couldn't 
afford another amp or the power to run it at this point.
