Yes.. It would be slightly underpowered, but it will still sound good.

NO not at all

no sarcasm here...

it will not be underpowering that at all!

ok, and does anyone have opinions on the new cerwin vega vmax 122's? i was thinkin of gettin either 2 of those or 1 12" Fi Q

It is a common misconception that you NEED the recommended RMS to get a sub to work.

900 watts will be plenty for it.

I agree, thought you meant it wouldn't be ok to power it with that amp.

listen to rap and hip hop mostly. want it to be loud, but sound good when it hits the lows too. ive heard 1 12" cerwin vega vmax 122, and bumps by itself, while retaining sq. so i was thinkin of getting 2 to go with the zx750.1(900rms)

Perfect power for the SSD.

I haven't heard the new stuff from CV so I can't say. But I do know the SSD is a great sub.

Depending on the box you put it in, 900 watts could actually be overpowering the speaker. Thermally it will be fine, in fact it will thank you for the less power. The only thing you should have to worry about here (if you don't clip the amp a ton) is the mechanical side of the equation. If you build a box on the smaller side of FI's recommendations, the sub may not quite be playing at its limits. But if you build a box a bit larger than they recommend, you may get full output and possibly even exceed the mechanical limits of the sub with a large enough box. So, as you see, it's all in the box.
