Hello there everyone, I'm Vic and have just bought RF P3 12" shallow mount sub. These are rated at 400 watts RMS so what amp would be best to power this? Im looking at strongest and most durable amps avaliable but don't want to be spending too much.

I've got just one 12" RF P3. Running it in a quite a small car at the moment and will be looking to upgrade when i get a bigger car next year.

Currently will be using a VW Polo.

How do you rate these subs pbmatt0812?

Cheers for reply.

£50 but i'll need to get a box made for it. I would have thought the p3 has good sound quality though. kind of disappointed if its not rated among other subs out there //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

So what amp will i need to run the p3 sub at to get best results. I am also looking at jl 500/1 amp to power my p3. How do you guys think that'll do?

In England i find its difficult to get decent audio stuff without paying alot. Im well impressed with what you can get over in the states, you can get practically anything!!!!!

Ive just seen a kicker kx400.1 amp on ebay. Are these kicker amps any good? Or shall i keep looking for jl or rf? I will need 400 watts rms from the amp at 2 ohms. Any other amps that are recommended.

what coil config is your p3?

 

[xtullyx]

look at us amps, aq, sa, and kicker.. just a few brands, but not all, that would be praise worthy here.. what impedance are you voice coils? or they dual voice coils or single voice coils?
