Ohms law and voltage questions

I under stand ohms law says sqrt(rms x ohms) is your desired voltage for rms.
Now with that being said, I have a Brutus brx2416.1d and 2 american bass xfl 1244. the outcome of the equation is 48.99v.
Is this correct and should I be safe to run it at this at full volume?

Seriously, I have no life.

Are these dual 4 Ohm voice coils? If so and if you connect all four voice coils parallel, the amp will see a 1 Ohm load and it will likely puke, especially if it's in bridge mode.

You need to list the impedance of the speakers, rather than make us do it for you. I'm assuming they're 12" dual voice coil drivers because I have seen so many models over the last 40+ years but throw us a bone with the specs, OK?

FYI- not much is designed to operate at full output for a long time.

Hold on.
Volts = sqrt (Power x Ohms)

with loudspeakers, the Ohms part is very approximate, no need for decimal places.
in AC circuits, unless otherwise specified, Voltage is always RMS.

For clarity gents, that's not Ohm's, though it is fair to call it a version of power formulae derived from Ohm's law.
