Is this too much power?

Would a 1500w Rockford Fosgate Punch P5002 be too much for my Kenwood 700 watt subs?

The amp stats are:
Max power watts per channel: 1500W @ 2 ohms
500W RMS (continuous) x 1 @ 4 ohms, bridged
250W RMS (continuous) x 2 @ 2 ohms
125W RMS (continuous) x 2 @ 4 ohms

Would the 1200 Watt 4-channel rockford fosgate be good for my subs?

The new kenwood amps look good too...

I have the KFC-3085, they're 8-ohm subs... meh.
Ummm... here's the info, they're kinda old but they're pretty nice with my crappy sony 760 watt amp.

Kenwood doens't make much decent except their eXcelon HU's (and some people argue that).

which of those rockfords would be better? the 1200 watt 4 channel or the 1500 watt 2 channel. is the 1500 watt too powerful though for my two 700 watt subs?

will it be more powerful than my 760 watt max power sony amp? i don't get the whole RMS thing yet. ima probably get my amp from hookedontronics.com cuz they have the best prices and are trusted on epinions.com

Unless you're looking at the Power series of Rockford Fosgate, I wouldn't mess with them.

You can get the Kicker KX600.1 for less money. It's a better amp and more powerful. Also the XTANT A6001T and the JBL BP600.1
Ebay is a safe place to buy...just look for sellers with 98% or higher rating. I constantly buy stuff off of ebay, and the worst problem I've had is slow shipping and I had to get a refund once.

Good Luck

Yes, just about anything is better than Sony, actually there's a lot that's as bad. But Sony's name isn't very respectable in car audio. They need to stick with video cameras and TVs and stuff.
