Please bare with me.

I have a Sony Xplod 1000w amp

4 ohms: 185 watts RMS x 2 chan

2 ohms: 200 watts RMS x 2 chan

Bridged, 4 ohms: 400 watts RMS x 1 chan

Max power output: 1000 watts

And I have a Rockford 15'' DVC sub

Each coil says 250Wrms/500Wpeak. Does that mean that my sub is 500Wrms or 250Wrms?

If I bridge it, will the amp power my sub?

How many ohms are the coils

What rockford sub is it?

250, but the may take more or less depending on the box design.

If I bridge it, will the amp power my sub?

what's the impedance of the subs voice coils?

 

[Warden]

The coils say exactly this:

Dual 2 ohm

250W RMS

500W Peak

I will try to find the exact model of sub in a moment.

Dual 2 i would run at 4 ohm i wouldn't push that sony to 1 ohm. So if you bridge at 4 ohm it should push it pretty good. I just know that those types of amps like to cut off when you bridge em. So i say just try it bridged if it starts cuttin off on you then just run it to one channel.

 

[Warden]

P2D2-15 15" 2 ohm DVC 400W RMS/800W Peak

But the coils say 250wrms... I am so confused

 

[Warden]

If I run the sub on one channel at 2 ohm, that would be 500W correct?

run it bridged at 4 ohms done , if the amp starts having issues , cutting in and out , replace the amp with a better one then

how does he do that with 2 dual 2ohm subs

first post says a fosgate dvc 15 d2 sub not 2 subs

my bad. I always assume people are running two subs.
