Amp for my subs????

[yzjon13]

I have 2 12" Rockford Fosgate P1 Punch Subs they run 150w rms 300peak they are 4 ohm and i have them in a ported box. What im not sure about is which amp to go with. If anyone can tell me an amp that'll work with my set-up it'll be helpful, Im looking to spend around 200 bucks or so.....

single 4 ohm, dual 4 ohm, or wired together for a final load of 4 ohms?

an MTX 250d would work nicely

If they are single 4ohms and you are paralleling them to 2 ohms you can try a kicker zx300.1 or a cadence xenith 300.1 both are single channel 2 ohm stable. They do true power and are right at $200

im still trying to understand resistance so if i hook them up in a parallel circuit the resistance of 2 4 ohm subs will now be 2 ohm?

and i think im gonna go with the Kicker that sounds pretty good

yes if the subs are single 4 ohm voice coils then you can parallel them to get 2ohms of series to get 8 ohms but you usually dont want to run 8 ohms. The12volt.com has a ohm calculator on their site if that helps. But if you have 2 single 4 ohm woofers you want a single channel 2 ohm stable amp. Like the kicker or cadence.There are a bunch of brands that will work as well

The kicker amps are nice they come with a birth sheet so you can see what the power that you are going to get is. Kickers are also under rated so you will get more power than 300 watts
