New member Username: Jasonbolt1Post Number: 1 Registered: Jul-09 | I have a new Rockford Fosgate P3 D212 sub and am looking to buy an amp for to make it sound as good as possible. I just want this thing to pound! The subs 1000 watt peak, 500 RMS. Im semi broke so the cheper the better unless there's a really good one for a little more. Any suggestions? Please help. |

If so it would be better to buy a bigger amp and be able to have extra power and save you money overall. For just a single one you would want about 500 at 1/4 ohms. Hifonics BXi610 should do around 600 @ 1 ohm http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=20597 If you want to run 2 eventually then a hifonics 1210 or AQ1200d would work. Either would do about 500 @ 4 ohms then if you add another you can get 1200wrms @ 1 ohm. http://www.audioque.com/aq/AQamps.htm http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=20598 |

New member Username: Jasonbolt1Post Number: 2 Registered: Jul-09 | Im liken that Hifonics mono sub. Price looks good too. I kinda had my eye on this one: http://www.homegoodz.com/viewitem.php?IndexID=104285&RefTag=froogle#spec_detail But the one you suggested looks even better. I currently have a http://www.savinglots.com/lotprod.asp?item=GM7200F from my old sub. And it most deff isnt cutting it right now lol. Just blew a fuse. I was powerin a http://www.amazon.com/Polk-MOMO-MM2124-4-ohm-subwoofer/dp/B0002DFIMK and it worked just fine. Im gna build a new box for my P3 to the specifications that they reccomend and make it ported. The box i have right now isnt and my buddy said it gets alot lower bass. Im not sure though cause the sound quality is sacraficed right? Whata think? This is my current box: http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=21329 |

Silver Member Username: Vivi2000Lansing, Mi Post Number: 223 Registered: Aug-07 | That RF amp you posted will not power it fully, it does 320 @ 4 ohms. You need 500 at either 1 or 4 ohms. But i have heard very good things about RF amps in general. If you built a custom ported enclosure to the subs specs it would have a greater effect than an amp(but more power can help too). RF recommends about 2 cuft with a port tuning of 40hz. http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/products/product_details.asp?cat_id=4&series_id=3 1&family_id=11&item_id=108288&locale=en_US&p_status= (click the box advisor tab) |

New member Username: Jasonbolt1Post Number: 5 Registered: Jul-09 | ic Yea i think ill go with the hifonics and a new box eventually. What about this amp? http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=20667 Seems kinda cheap to me due to the price and all But it says it puts out 500rms @ 2 ohms. And i could possibly add a sub latter cause its a 2 channel... |
