i have a 2000 ford f150 single cab. i jus purchased a powerbass m124d and plan on powering it with a rockford fosgate p325.2. My dilema is deciding whether to use a single ported pro box or to purchase another powerbass sub and use sealed boxes. Need opinions and tips please!!

so i have decided pretty much on the sealed box and gettin another powerbass sub. The subs are 750 watts peak and 375 watts rms with dual 4 ohm voice coils so i need to run a amp at 2 ohms with the speakers running parallel. What amp would be best for these subs?

if the subs are dvc 4 ohm then you would need an amplifier that is 750wrms at 1 ohm or 4 ohm. or an amplifier that is 375 wrms x2 at 2 ohms.

if you let me know your budget i can suggest some for you

cause ur just looking for an amp. i dont know much about amps but may be tough finding one that does 800 rms at 1 ohm. other guys will know about some though . if u want to buy used (200 or less is a used type price) then u may want to look on caraudio.com classifieds

1 of those 12's wouldnt be loud at all to be honest. You might wanna get 2 OR if u wanted you could sell that and we could get you 1 MEEEEAAAN 12 .. if you want you can buy my idmaxv2d4 12 off me for 200 shipped, 1000 rms i just bought it but need money now and have other subs. Very clean bass. Would get louder than 2 of those for sure.
