New member Username: Young_jamesCanada Post Number: 4 Registered: Sep-05 | I have a Rockford Fosgate P3001 amp, and I am running it in bridged mode for one sub. The amp has 2 "speaker spots" and I have them bridged for 1 sub. My birthsheet says that it's putting out 241 RMS @ 4ohms per channel, and 388 RMS @ 2ohms channels combined. My question is: Did my amp automatically turn into 2 ohm mode when I bridged them? Or is my RMS wattage going to be 482 (241 X 2) into 1 Sub. I am very confuzed on what power I am feeding my sub. By the way, my sub is SVC if that means anything. Any help from Anyone is greatly appreatiated!!!! |

MisterMorse Unregistered guest | I looked up the P3001 and it shows it to be a mono amp. Are you sure you have the right model number? Anyway if your sub is a 4 ohm sub then it should be supplying 150 watts (or so) at 4ohms or 300 watts at 2ohms. What model sub is it? LM |

MisterMorse Unregistered guest | Beat me to the post button Robert. On another note about underpowering. Just because a sub can handle let's say 300 watts RMS and it's only getting 200 watts RMS that doesn't mean that it won't play well or play efficiently. LM |

I contacted RF and they said that there was a misprint on my amp, which is why the word bridge is there. All that trouble to find a misprint!! I appreatiate the help anyways!! |
