how does this setup sound?

(2) 12" Rockford Fosgate P3's, 3/4" MDF ported box, SSL 2000 watt amp, 2 Farad capacitor, and 2/0 gauge wiring. in a 2007 Jeep Liberty

if this was your setup, and hypthetically a "man on a budget", what would you do differently? or leave the setup as is?

first. You need a custom box built if you want to go ported.

2nd. Rockford subs are meh, and usually not helping with a budget.

3rd. 2/0 wiring is not necessary at all, did you mean 2 gauge? 0 gauge would be best.

4th. Terrible amp.

5th. The capacitor is absolutely useless, and a waste of money.

well i bought it all as a package deal for $300... picking it up tuesday

i like rockford subs, and all wiring is being given to me. what my friend had in his car, is exactly what he's giving me.

the question i really want answered though is what amps would you recommend as opposed to the SSL, and please be specific.

i was also told that i need the capacitor for this setup otherwise i would fry my alternator.

i'm a car audio beginner and would really like some help instead of people just telling me everything is garbage.....

You shouldnt pick any of that if you dont have to... We can help you but we have to start from scratch for the best results not just throw together what we can with what you already have...

okay, well with the setup that i gave at the start of this post, what amp would you put in place of the SSL 2000? because i really don't want to keep that amp any longer than i have to lol

Well that depends on what money you have to spend, what your electrical is, if you are going to changes boxes and or subs in the future, and if your not what voice coil are they?

Alright so you can wire down to 1 ohm... Budget?

something in the 200-300 range brand new

Decent budget... Something that does around 1500 or so at 1 ohm will work well for you... Used Sundown, AQ, Crescendo, Digital Designs, or DC just to name a couple brands to look in to...
