RF vs kicker setup???

[asultsniper50j 10+ year member]

So here is the deal ....

I have a ported box with 2 12" kicker comps on 600 watts (not sure rms... probably around 300)

and a ported box with 2 10" Rockford Fosgate P2's with the same amp as above...

now what do you think i should put in my winter car.... in my normal car i have to 12" POWER BASS AT 2000w... but for my winter car i have those 2 options... what do you guys think would be a better choice.... thanks.

Depends on what amp you have and voice coil configs.

i got the amp with the p2's it is and American audio(or something like that) 600 watt.... rms is most likely 250-300w.... supposedly .. both setups are wired in parallel and both setups have 4 ohm subs.

rockford if it was my car. i had p2 12s sealed that got pretty loud

there just comps no vr,vx .. just base 99$ comps... the ones with the yellow kicker logo not the silver or black.

Thats what I just took out of my truck ^^^^^ 2 12" kicker comps with a rockford punch 300.1... in the proper box it would do work!

P2's, and get some real power if possible.

I had a 8 ohm P2 12" for awhile. It was a pretty decent sub IMO. I liked it better than the d2 P3 i got from someone. The P2 seemed to play a lot lower than the P3 counterpart.

i would post pics but it will not let me for some reason.

^^^2........ the comps are going to be more efficient on that amp, but the p2's could possibly do better if you juice them higher........ i mainly depends on the 2 enclosures

I'd go P2

the funny thing is the RF P2's are in a generic box(good one though) and the kickers are in a RF box.. the RF box with the kickers is old school with 4 horn tweeters and everything but i was thinking that option of just juicing up the P2's to there potential but can you really get 2 10"s to be louder than 2 12's i mean theres the surface area thing but idk i guess i have never seen 2 10"s hit louder than any 2 12's ive seen but this might just be because most people jump on getting bigger subs.

P2 one of my first setups was 2 P2s in an extended cab with like 225w rms to the pair and they got decently loud. Or at least I thought so back then, my knowledge of loud is a lot different 5 years later
