So that's two votes to migrate the RF to non-sub use and add a sub-only amp. It looks like a few people around the web ran the same amp bridged at 2 ohms - I'm kind of tempted just to try that, as that's a lot simpler than figuring out where to mount a second amp and how to wire it. Not...

Thanks for the replies. so running the rf onto the fullranges won't blow them? It's a Punch 75.2; I've seen it referred to as the "black and grind" model. Has an X-Card crossover. Manual says it's stable at 4 ohms bridged. Edit: here's a pic of the same model...

Hello, I have an older RF 75.2 Punch. I asked for, and got, a DVC Infinity 1262W for Christmas. Problem is, I goofed. I assumed DVC can do 2, 4, or 8 ohms, but of course it can only do 2 or 8. The Punch is only stable bridged to 4, so I wired the speaker in series and am running it at 8...

I'm installing an amp in my 97 B4000 and need to get a power wire from the battery to the extended cab portion. Any ideas/suggestions/proven methods of getting a 8ga power wire through the firewall without drilling? It looks like I *might* be able to share the hood latch release grommet but it...

Post timing was off, the sq question was more directed at milows. OK, so regarding continuous power, that's not what I was expecting. I don't want to run the subs at their capacity because that'll wear/burn them out more quickly, is that correct? Doesn't volume affect output? Or is that...

What makes it junk? What makes a sub higher quality?

thanks for the tips, mylows, I think sealed is going to work better for me, size and sq take priority over volume. z1nonly, what would you call average, and thus higher than average, sensitivity? I was poking around and found this RF 10: Rockford Fosgate Prime R1L-1X10 Sealed enclosure with...

Thanks, really looking more for recommendations and/or general knowledge than sale offers.

Thanks for the quick reply. Looks like my amp is rated at 150W and the DCON 10 is rated at 300W. Even if the RF rating is conservative, it's still low, yeah?

My uncle's girlfriend gifted me with a RF Punch 75.2. I want to add a sub, as the speakers in my truck are currently buzzing and it's bugging the crap out of me. They are also going to be replaced, btw. Parameters: Vehicle: 97 Mazda B4000 extra/super/king cab Amp: Rockford Fosgate Punch...
