500W RMS (continuous), bridged

yes.. but i wouldn't buy that amp. (edit. you already have it. Yes it will work.)

and you should not pay more than 110 dollars for that sub

Thanks. What does it mean when it says bridged? Does it mean it is using both channels?

Where would you get the sub cheaper?

I was looking at the Rockford Fosgate P3 and the Alpine Type-R which are both around the same price on BestBuy around $200. Both are 12" and have a Duel Voice Coil.

Let me google that for you.

I would get R before p3.

bridged is using both channels in mono.

No, its all just for fun. I just wanted to make sure that the two would work together. Whats better for a box, sealed or vented?

go vented just make sure its built to your speakers specs

 

[funkyab 10+ year member]

ported for a type r.

If you can take the amp back I would. But that's just me. You could get something better with a little research.

Alright thanks for the help everyone. I've been looking on forums for a while now trying to get this answered. The caraudio forums seem to be the only real active ones.
