Hey everyone,
Search function did not want to work for me. I know this has probably been covered a million times:
I have two Rockford Fosgate Punch HE 12" 200W RMS 4Ohm subs (Single Voice). Back years ago when I bought them, I didn't understand anything about stereos and I went off of someone at Best Buy's recommendation. I bought a Rockford Fosgate 2Channel 150W RMS amp...
after a while, my subs stopped thumping and I lost interest after I went off to school.
fast forward to today and I want to power them again. I am looking for the correct way to wire a mono amp to run both subs together. My guess is:
a cheap alternative like this? http://www.crutchfield.com/p_500MRPM500/Alpine-MRP-M500.html?tp=115
Two 4ohm subs wired in parallel = a 2 ohm load to the amp, which means it will run 500W rms... splitting 250W RMS per sub and leaving a little headroom so the amp won't blow like my old rockford fosgate?
Is that the correct approach? Sorry for the long post....
