So, I'm going highjack this thread . . . .
I agree with sandm - David stated it would work, so I'm not sure how that was attacking, unless you're arguing that the "facts" you want to have straight are the independent lab results. And, to a point, I'll agree with you until I'm told who the lab is, when the testing was completed and a scan of the test report is posted up.

A single harpoon is a $700 retail investment (per the exile store page), requires a fair amount of realestate to mount it and is very inefficient as compared to newer technology. Adding a 2nd would be a $1400 investment with no audible difference at the end of a tow rope.
Brian,
Once again, I hate to break it to ya pardner, but the 370W rms x 2 @ 2 ohm @ 14.4V specs posted above are accurate.
Can you explain for the benefit of the Moomba community, how your Class-A/B amp is able to convert 12V DC to 1000W rms through only its two 40A internal fuses? I know your past, current and future customers are more then able to comprehend this info if you would only provide it. IMO, this is a far better approach then just telling people to get their facts straight. I am just asking you to please straighten the facts for us?

Re: A Simple Yes Or No?
2 of the 3 local audio gurus have chimed in. mla a no, i read David as a yes. I'd assume Brian was saying yes.
My original thought was that it would work but probably not the first match if starting from scratch. I typically see people recommend an amp that pushes a little more than what the revs are rated for. Harpoon is near the range though. My take away from David is that the additional 50 to 100 Watts from an amp swap wouldn't be much of a discernable difference.
My answer is yes. Not worth swapping amp unless you want to match gear. I figured this thread would land you some 9s, though, if that is what you want. Are they out everywhere?

Hah!, my one sentence answer is that one independent retailer said it would work and another independent retailer said it wouldn't, while a manufacturer of one of the brands in question responded with a "yes" answer; I would call that a tie if this were a polling thread......

I base my 'Yes' answer on accurate information and 'straight facts', if you know what I mean. I did save the test results.
Here is another way of viewing the decision. The Wetsounds Syn2 as tested is the identical power as the Exile Harpoon. Wetsounds routinely recommends a Syn2 to drive two pair of Rev8s. So if it is good enough for Wetsounds I think it is good enough for Exile.
Wetsounds wouldn't mind the Rev8s seeing more power. The Rev8 has a 2-inch voice coil which is unusually large for an 8-inch HLCD. But the next step up in amplification to hear a dicernable difference is going to be a major jump in cost.
