Question about an amp

[Gurileck 10+ year member]

I've got a pair of Rockford Fosgate T162S's and a pair of T1692C's (100W RMS ea).

So I was looking at getting either two P4002 amps or one P8004 amp (which would give out that much power). The question is, after looking at some of the threads here, it seems RF amps are severly underrated. Should I get a lower model amp? Will I notice a difference if I get an amp that's supplying half the power because the models I originally considered are too much for the speakers to do anything with?

the rf punch amps weren't severly underrated //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif my p2002 wasn't underrated but maybe

try getting a mono amp that does about 200rms at whatever ohm load you're subs will have.

also, it's OK to buy an amp with more power than you need. just set the gains right and you won't have a problem.

It's actually for the speakers up front, not the subs, so I wasn't really looking at anything mono.

ok, in that case, get an amp for each set. one amp for the fronts, and one for the rears so that way you can provide each set with the rms it needs.
