Is this amp the real deal?

Rockford Fosgate P500-2 amp. Thinking about running this with my 12 in Alpine Type R. All opinions are welcome. Thanks

[dragnix]

what do you mean by real deal? Does it do rated? Probably, RF is good with their ratings

Entry level best buy quality. It will work as advertised.

How will it work with the Type R you think?

[DDtC]

Depends on the Rs coil. Does the amp do 4 ohm bridged or 2?

Bridged at 4 ohm, sir.

Then you need a dual 2 R. Wire to 4 and let it eat.

What's a dual 2 R? Sorry, kind of a noob haha

2x 2ohm coils on the woofer.

The sub is a DVC 4 ohm that's all I know

[DDtC]

Then it won't work. It will but only from one channel on the amp. So no bridge and no 1000 watts.

@audiobahn told me that if the sub was a DVC 4 ohm it would be fine to run it bridged at 2 ohm

[DDtC]

Not on that amp. It will protect or just go up in smoke. Unless it can be bridged at 2ohm. I haven't looked it up

[DDtC]

Ok it only does 500x1 at 4 ohms. So off one channel you would only get 250 watts. It will work but not full potential.

Unless what could be bridged at 2 ohm? The sub? Or the amp? He showed me a diagram that had everything laid out
