Hello all,
I am currently looking for suggestions on what 12" single sub i should match with my Rockford Fosgate p500-2.
Live in a smaller town and the guy working behind the counter at the local audio install store was not giving me vibes that he knew anything about anything.
See stats below on amp, I was thinking a Rockford P3D2. I am confused with the 2 channel 2 ohms amp if i should get a sub with 4 ohms or 2 ohms. I listen to all types of music and am okay with more punchy than booming bass.
Size preferred (if configuration allows):12" single
Budget:$200-$275
Power to be used (which amp(s), include which resistance): See below
Space available (take measurements, do not guess): 17W and 17+L will put amp on sub box (hatchback style box)
Goals: Over all good sound, low and highs, punchy not so much boom type and reliable.
Listening habits: Indie and hip-hop
Preferred brands/subs/whatever: Whatver you think is best.
