Infinity Vs. Rockford

[morgan16382]

Right now I'm debating with whether or not I want to go with Rockford Fosgate or Infiniti. I'm still pretty new to the whole car audio thing, although I do know how to install car audio video, but I need advice for my sound system.

I already have a pair of 6.5" Infinity Kappa Series Component speakers for the front, and Alpine 6.5" Rear speakers. They both handle around 90-100watts rms. Powering them I have a Sony XM-4060GTX that puts out 60 watts rms per channel(4 channels). Soon, I'm going to probably replace the alpines with another set of infinity's. For subs and an amp, which would go better with the system?

Amp

Infinity Reference 7521a

» 2-channel car amplifier

» 97 watts RMS x 2 at 4 ohms (142 watts x 2 at 2 ohms)

» 283 watts RMS x 1 bridged output at 4 ohms (4-ohm stable in bridged mode)

2 Subs

Infinity Reference 1042w

10" subwoofer with dual 4-ohm voice coils

» power range: 60-250 RMS watts (125 watts per voice coil)

» peak power: 1000 watts

Or

Amp

You may want to ask someone else but, those Infinity 1042W, they are 2 ohm when wired single, and 1 ohm or 4 ohm I believe when using two. May not be enough power in that amp for them.

I'm building a box for a single 1042W this week, and powering it with like 410W.

If you go with the Infinity you will need more power.

Are you restricted to only RF or Infinity? If not, then browse around and check out prices. Also check the classifieds on this site, you'll find some good deals.

the RF amp is good but look at a better sub

Amp is good, might need more power. But, I wouldn't go with that RF sub, If you want to stay with RF look at the Power Series.
