    Question about RMS & ohm load safety

    An update, taking the info you guys gave me I spent a little more and got an SA-12D2 from sundown audio and a 1ft^3 sealed box. Found a high excursion grill to go with it (because it's going into my SUV's trunk). Will be wiring it up at 1ohm. Thanks everyone.

    Question about RMS & ohm load safety

    I did read up on it, and honestly I don't have the time to spend tweaking and tweaking and tweaking (or doing all the math to get the most out of my setup)-- maybe you'll just think I'm ignorant, but I'm going for the most plug and play option here. Are there recommendations you can make for my...

    Question about RMS & ohm load safety

    From what I understand the P1000-1bd is under-rated in terms of RMS; however, thanks for the info. What would you suggest for my setup? I'm now leaning towards the Alpine SWR-12D2 wired for 1ohm load (so ~1000w rms) due to price/ease of use. Remember I'm using the kenwood KFC-w3011's right now...

    Question about RMS & ohm load safety

    OK, Perhaps I should revise my needs then... Primary: longevity. I don't plan on upgrading after this, I want it to last. Secondary (but close to primary): Sound quality Tertiary: price I'd like to keep the box, sub, and grill (if available) under $250. I'd rather sacrifice some SQ before...

    Question about RMS & ohm load safety

    That's where I'm concerned-- I'll be pumping 1000w or so RMS at the sub then... and that's 600w RMS... I'm just nervous.

    Question about RMS & ohm load safety

    So you think it'll be plenty of power to wire this up at 2ohm load? I only get ~500w rms from the amp that way--just want to make sure I'll have enough power.

    Question about RMS & ohm load safety

    Trying to keep it under $200 for the sub and grill. I did some more looking and saw alpine type r is ~1000w RMS and I could run the SWR-12D2 @ 1ohm load... I am more looking for quality and not as much warning people that I'm entering the neighborhood...

    Question about RMS & ohm load safety

    Hi, I have a Rockford Fosgate P1000-1bd which is 1-ohm stable @ 1000w, 2-ohm @ 500w, 4-ohm @ 250w. The sub is currently running 2 KFCW3011 SVC 4ohm wired for (I believe) 2ohm load, so the amp RMS (500) is below the 2 subs' RMS (~800). My question is regarding what I should do since I'm...
