Alpine or rockford
|
New member Username: Smoke05Post Number: 10 Registered: Jan-07 | Im debating about getting either Alpine type R 500 rms. or the new rockford fosgate phase 2, 250 rms Im looking for sq, and over all a something that is going to last. Both are going to be 10" I want a dualsub system, and here is another question should i buy a mono amp or 2 chanel amp? in example that I select the Alpine should u buy a 500rms amp or a 1000 rms amp? (2 ohms both subs) for max rms. thanks for everything, and the Fi Q was too much for me  |

Bronze Member Username: ThugshizzLong Beach, California Post Number: 84 Registered: Jan-05 | Get a 1 ohm stable Mono amp and buy two 4ohm subs so you can wired them @ 1ohm. I currently have 2 12's type Rs in a 5 net cube ported box and they are very nice subs on a tight budget. I used to have a rockford fosgate p3 and it was a solid sub but the Alpine is one of the best bang for your buck sub out there. |

Bronze Member Username: Smoke05Post Number: 17 Registered: Jan-07 | I went to best buy with my brother, dont worry i wont do any bussines there, and while I was looking at the type R subwoofer, the best buy guy came and so i asked him how would i be able to wire the subs at 1 ohms, but he was in a blank he told me he knew how to wire them at 2 ohms but he also told me that they wouldnt be stable at 1 ohm... is that true? |
