there shouldnt be any distortion as long as the amp is putting out a clean signal
if you start getting over the 150rms mark say 200+ you could run into thermal problems with voice coil overheating and mechanical where the coil will hit the back plate and it wont last too long doing that
ive seen many a subs rated for 1000rms handle 1200,1500rms, or higher just fine
and just because an amp says it will do 200rms, dosent mean it actually going to do 200rms

If a subs RMS is 150 watts. it's max is about 300. You can give it that, just watch your gains and your volume. I wouldn't go over that. As far as 150 watts not being very loud. Bulls*#t! I've heard plenty of systems running around that, and they were loud. It depends on the box you put it in. I had a JL 10W3v2 running off a PG 250 watt amp and it hit 133.2 db in my Explorer. Because it was in a 2 cu. ft. slot ported enclosure.
I'm sure you know this already. It depends on what ohm load your gonna run your amp at to determine what impedence of subs you need.

To realign some of the confusion earlier in the thread.
A sub will not limit the amps output. If you have a 300W RMS amp, pushing a 150W RMS speaker, your sub will not limit the amps input power. Rather you would have the 300 watts running through the 150W speaker.
Its in the Ohms where stuff is halfed, doubled, or just right.
