Gold Member Username: MgbcsLincoln, Nebraska Post Number: 1916 Registered: Dec-06 | I would assume they are giving a range because it depends what you wire it to. That's probably the power range from 2-4ohm or something like that. |

|
Silver Member Username: O0airjordan120oMN US Post Number: 259 Registered: Sep-07 | k, would it fit my mojo nicely or no? |
|
Gold Member Username: MgbcsLincoln, Nebraska Post Number: 1918 Registered: Dec-06 | Well what VC config is the Mojo? |

Silver Member Username: O0airjordan120oMN US Post Number: 260 Registered: Sep-07 | i am from rogers... the new cabelas. lol its a dual 2 ohm |
|
Gold Member Username: MgbcsLincoln, Nebraska Post Number: 1919 Registered: Dec-06 | Good deal, I'm from Maple Grove so I'm plenty familiar with the new Cabelas lol. As for the amp, you need to figure out if it is stable at 1-ohm. If it is, then it should work pretty well for you. |
|
Silver Member Username: O0airjordan120oMN US Post Number: 261 Registered: Sep-07 | sweet, it doesnt say on the site... if its not stable then what? |
|
Gold Member Username: MgbcsLincoln, Nebraska Post Number: 1921 Registered: Dec-06 | Then you'll want to get another amp that does that power at 1-ohm. Like my Rockford that puts out 1200 at 1-ohm  Are you looking for an amp now? Cuz if you are I could give you a pretty good deal on a quality amp that's BNIB...especially since we live like 10 miles away. |
|
Gold Member Username: MgbcsLincoln, Nebraska Post Number: 1923 Registered: Dec-06 | I just looked it up for you...it's not 1ohm stable. The Phoenix Gold will not work for you. |
|
Silver Member Username: O0airjordan120oMN US Post Number: 262 Registered: Sep-07 | i dont think it needs to be 1ohm stable.... http://www.crutchfield.com/learningcenter/car/subwoofers_wiring.html?imageID=1DV C%5F2%2Dohm%5Fmono that says that it would be 4ohm to the amp and i checked the phoenix gold site and it said like you said it uns 1200wrms @ 4ohm... |
|
Gold Member Username: MgbcsLincoln, Nebraska Post Number: 1926 Registered: Dec-06 | Well that Phoenix Gold will only put out like 750 at 4ohms. If that's what you want cool. But that Mojo will want more power. You'll want to run it at 1ohm IMO. |

Gold Member Username: MgbcsLincoln, Nebraska Post Number: 1927 Registered: Dec-06 | http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/woofer_wizard.asp?submitted=true&woofer_qt y=1&woofer_imp=3 That's how you would wire to 1ohm. The Mojo is rated at 1000RMS...so you're going to want 1000-1200 on that thing. |
|
Silver Member Username: O0airjordan120oMN US Post Number: 263 Registered: Sep-07 | oh woops. i had my numbers mixed up. you right, and no i dont want that. so what amp are you trying to sell me? and could you point me to a diagram of wiring at 1ohm? |
|
Silver Member Username: O0airjordan120oMN US Post Number: 264 Registered: Sep-07 | haha thanks. |
|
Gold Member Username: MgbcsLincoln, Nebraska Post Number: 1928 Registered: Dec-06 | The link above shows  As for the amp, I thought I'd just throw it out there since you're looking and there would be no shipping costs. It's a Rockford Fosgate P1000-1bd. It's brand new and has the plastic still sealed. I looked at the birthsheet and it is rated at 1224RMS at 1ohm. Feel free to look into the amp if you think you may be interested. Here's a link. http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/products/product_details.asp?cat_id=2&series_id=6 &family_id=19&item_id=108232&locale=en_US&p_status= |

Silver Member Username: O0airjordan120oMN US Post Number: 265 Registered: Sep-07 | how much would that set me back? |
|
Gold Member Username: MgbcsLincoln, Nebraska Post Number: 1935 Registered: Dec-06 | Well, I would go as low as any other quality amp out there. I could probably do like $260. I think that's a pretty good price, but feel free to look around at other amps with that power range brand new. The Elemental Designs nine.1 is pretty decent priced amp in that power range and it is $300. |

Gold Member Username: MgbcsLincoln, Nebraska Post Number: 1941 Registered: Dec-06 | Oh they raised their prices. They had been $295 for a while. What do you think Nick? |

Gold Member Username: Tatonka-[Team Audib... Post Number: 1236 Registered: Mar-07 | I have a Massive p1000.1 that would do the job if you are interested. Used for a few months, still have the 2 year warranty. I also still have the original box. I was looking for around $200 or so. |
|
Gold Member Username: MgbcsLincoln, Nebraska Post Number: 1944 Registered: Dec-06 | Thanks Nick |
|
Gold Member Username: MgbcsLincoln, Nebraska Post Number: 1945 Registered: Dec-06 | Aren't the Massives a little over rated? |
|
Gold Member Username: Tatonka-[Team Audib... Post Number: 1237 Registered: Mar-07 | actually I've always heard that they do rated power. It sounds just like every other 1krms amp I've owned/heard lol. |
|
Silver Member Username: O0airjordan120oMN US Post Number: 266 Registered: Sep-07 | hmm those are some good pices... ill see what i can do to get some money flowin and get back to ya. |
|
Gold Member Username: MgbcsLincoln, Nebraska Post Number: 1951 Registered: Dec-06 | Yeah no problem. I could possibly drop the price a little lower if it would help persuade you Do you have an email address I could reach you at? |
|
Silver Member Username: O0airjordan120oMN US Post Number: 267 Registered: Sep-07 | lol. damn. the only problem is that im trying to buy a cargo van for me and friends to go on spring break in so i need around 700 for that. im up to about 4 and need to buy it befor the end of january. after that we will be seliing the van so ill have loads of cash then. so its not a question of if but when. as for an email address. im on here every day, its my home page so you really dont need to send me an email, i never check it anyways. lol. |
|
Gold Member Username: MgbcsLincoln, Nebraska Post Number: 1960 Registered: Dec-06 | OK fair enough. Well it's up to you. I can give you a very good deal considering I will bring it right to you and I would like to get rid of it. If I was not in school it wouldn't matter a whole lot. However, I go to school in Nebraska, so I would be leaving on the 9th or 10th and not be back until March. |
|
Silver Member Username: O0airjordan120oMN US Post Number: 268 Registered: Sep-07 | no trust me, i know how good of a deal this is. if i can get rid of the amp i have now within the next couple days ill definetly buy yours from you before you leave. um if i for some reason dont respond to posts on this forum heres my myspace..... www.myspace.com/nickspence12 |
