Looking for some tips on a setup.

[MiniManAbear 10+ year member]

I've been looking into some equipment for my truck but I some good tips on which equipment I use. I'd like to stay between Rockford Fosgate and Kicker.

The current setup I'm looking at is 2 Rockford Fosgate 15" T115D4's. These are 4-ohm each, and have DVCs. And to my understanding when connected correctly, these subs will put a 2-ohm load on the amp. They are also rated at 600 RMS and 1200 max watts each.

These two subs will have a Rockford Fosgate T1500-1bd amp pushing it. This amp is rated at:

• 500W x 1 @ 4-Ohms RMS
  
• 1000W x 1 @ 2-Ohms RMS
  
• 1500W x 1 @ 1-Ohm RMS
  

 

I already have a place in mind I'm getting the enclosure custom made but first I need some thoughts on the setup, any improvements, changes? Also how I should have the subs wired to the amp would be nice! Any help will be accepted.

 

Thanks.

If they are 4 ohm and dvc that would be a final load of 1 ohm my friend

if yo have 2 subs that are dvc4, your only wiring options are 4ohm and 1ohm. You'll want to run them at 1ohm.

Ahh, thanks, ya see I didn't know that. I'd probably run them at 1-ohm but I'd need to see if the amp is stable.

If I shouldn't get T1's, whats should I get?

this.. rockford makes great amps.. and used to make some good subs..

their amps are PRICEY.. if you are looking to save money I would say go another route..

Well now I'm trying to decide whether on buying the same amp but instead of 2 15" T1's, getting 4 12" P3's.

Any ideas?

[nateberrier 10+ year member]

Rockford subs are overpriced.

Well if you MUST stay Rockford or Kicker and your willing to spend that kind of cash... Both companies make great amps but i prefer to have 1 ohm stable amps so i would get a rockford amp and maybe a L7 or something im not a big fan of either companies subs... Now if your looking to spend the same cash and go a different route you got options lol

 

[MiniManAbear 10+ year member]

Well I'm probably going to stay Rockford on the amp, but im willing to change for the sub lol, you have any good setup suggestions?

There are plenty quality subs to choose from. Check out Fi car Audio, Acsendent Audio, DC sound Labs, IA, Digital Designs, ID, and theres a few more that im leaving out. All have models better then the T1 and are priced much more accordingly. Rockford amps are great amps, sticking to that is not an issue. Since you are getting a custom box made any of the above subs in the right box will blow your mind away. I would suggest looking through the classifieds to see if any of those subs interest you. Most of these subs can be recone which means if you blow it for whatever reason you can get parts to make it band new again, no need to buy a brand new sub.

Hope this helps
