Their explaination was I will fry the amp as it can only handle 150W and the speaker was 350W. To me this did not make sense. The monitor I was using was and 8" outputting 120W which they said was ok....

Your right. This does not make sense, but MOSTLY because the renter has no problem with you using the 8-incher.

Something else must be going on here that involves ohm load, not speaker wattage.

Is your 8" at 8 ohms too?
If so the 350W at 8 ohms is going to put the same amount of strain on the amp as the 8".
Right friends?

Might that 8" be at 16ohm? That would be less strain on the amp.
