New Amp i just bought

[Yung_Gun]

Just bought a Rockford Fosgate p4004 4 channel amp and have only hooked it up once in the house and set it to 2 channel mode and put all the wattage into the front channels but it just didnt seem like a 1000+ watt amp i was powering my subs with a 540 watt JVC and it seemed about the same in the house, The Rockford was maybe a little louder and alot deeper but it didnt seem as domestic as i thought it would be and also when i ran 1500 watts into the 12" MTX thunder 6000's wich are in a sealed box i thought they would kill the place, but the cones seemed messed up or something cause when i turned it up a little the cones would crack and pop and i wasnt even up that loud so i tryed my 10" rockford punch's wich are in a q.logic bandpass box they they about shook down the house but there only 800 watts and im afraid of putting them in a car with that big amp. So maybe its just cause im not in a car yet and its in the open and im only using a 12 volt battery and small speaker wire (just testing it) my cousin who has 2 10" Lightning Audio Strikes in a sealed box and a legacy 800 watt amp kills my stuff, so does anybody know if mine would sound alot better in a car?

It will be louder in your car than in your house.

Your power supply could only be giving it 15 amps, it look on the fuses on the back, make sure it's got about 1 to 1.5 times that many amps available.

Usually only amps with 15 amp fuses will reach full potential in a home, maybe more, but it depends on how nice your computer's PSU is. *grin*

Organize your story & write it right & you might get more responses to help you out. Just by looking at your post & trying to make sense of it just seems too much work.

And what did you mean by "didn't seem as domestic"?

Sorry for not typing perfect, Im using a wireless keyboard and it will only catch half the letters I type in... This was my first big amp in the car audio world and was just wondering if it would be louder in a car, Because it didn't seem much louder than a 540 watt amp in the house.
