Squarehog Unregistered guest | i recently bought a rockford fosgate punch p4004 with the intent to power 4 pioneer premier 6 1/2" 3 ways at 96w each. I now want to power the 6 1/2"s off of my deck, bridge the channels on the amp, and run 2 10" subs off of the p4004. if i bridged 2 channels on each side, i'd have 192W@ 4ohms (x2)to work with. Any recommendations for 10" subs? Bear in mind that eventually, i want to buy another (read: better) amp to power the subs, and use the p4004 to power my interior speakers. |

Squarehog Unregistered guest | i was thinking the rockford fosgate punch series subs, 4 0hm, rated at 200w nominal; but some of my buddies are claiming that MTX kicks the everloving crap out of rockford fosgate. is this true? |

|
Squarehog Unregistered guest | so if i ran some rockford fosgate p210s4's (4 ohm, 200w nominal) off of the p4004, would they be underpowered? |

Silver Member Username: IlluminatorPost Number: 374 Registered: Apr-05 | Yeah, unfortunately. How many do you plan on powering? |

Silver Member Username: IlluminatorPost Number: 376 Registered: Apr-05 | You could run both of them seperately, each from a bridged row and they would get 100w rms each. I don't see very much else to do...this amp looks like it was made exclusively for a four speaker setup involving anything that isn't a subwoofer... |
|
Squarehog Unregistered guest | alright, then. i guess i'll wait a bit longer. but in the meantime, can you recommend an amp for the p210s4's? i was thinking either the p8002 or the p10002. |

|
Squarehog Unregistered guest | the factory test sheet that came with the p4004 says that i get 96W rms per channel, @4 0hms. that means if i ran 2 bridged rows, i would have 192 W x2, which would only be 8W less than nominal for the p210s4's. would they sound like crap, or could i use the p4004 in the meantime, until i can afford the p8002? |
