Rockford Fosgate P2 Punch 10"s (x2)

[coltoncarroll 10+ year member]

i'm having problems with the whole setup that i have..i have two of these rockfords and i know they are good subs because they are brandnew, but i have a bandpass box and only pushing 760W Pioneer(real oldschool) amp, and i'm not sure but they aren't sounding up-to-par. my question is, what is a reliable, hopefully cheap, amp that can push these subs to the max, and what is a good enclosure for them.

*sorry about the other posts just finally put them altogether in one*

thanks in advance

Id just upgrade the whole setup, but youll need to post up some specs before we can help you a whole lot.

subs: Rockford Fosgate P2 Punch 10" (250W RMS/500W Max)

box: theater research (bandpass i'm thinking? cause it has two holes at the top)

amp: pioneer 750W (couldn't tell you RMS)

Do you have the VC configs of the subs?

it's all right there, you just have to read it up!

Thats a bandpass box, prefab im assuming, id sell it and build your own, its really not all that hard. You can have someone design one for you on here, or theres a box builder at http://www.subwoofertools.com and http://www.reaudio.com

Do a ported box around 3 cubes at mid 30s (htz).

This amp is a steal, set the gains low and it should be a decent amp for you. (what do you want to spend? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif) It won't do 800 watts like it says, but it should 500 fine.

Wire the subs to 2ohm. (RF has it on their website.

why 2 ohm and not 4 ohm?

and just making a ported box, or just buying a decent one, will do the job i'm looking for??

youll get more out of that amp at 2ohm. assuming it runs at 2ohm

 

[coltoncarroll 10+ year member]

well actually the sub says 8 ohm, not 4. but should i still tune it down to 2 ohm?

 

[Atimm693 10+ year member]

So you have 8 ohm subs? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

Then you're gonna have to find 500 RMS at 4ohms, which isnt all that cheap.

 

[coltoncarroll 10+ year member]

gahhh i hate my life. so this amp i have right now i gotta get rid of and find a sub that does 500RMS @ 4 ohms for both of the subs?

 

[Atimm693 10+ year member]

Find an amp that does 500 at 4 ohms. Yes you will most likely have to get rid of that amp.

dude.. yeah if an amp does like.. 1000 watts at 2 ohms, it will do 500 at 4 ohms, and 250 at 8 ohms. if you have an amp that does 500 at 2 ohms, you will get 250 at 4 ohms and 125 at 8 ohms. since you have 2 8ohm subs, you can wire them to 4ohms together. this is why you will need an amp that will do at least 500 at 4ohms. or 1000 at 2ohms. not so cheap. id go with new subs altogether. that box is cheap also, the ports are just holes that arent tuned. this makes the bass suucckkk.. you can get a single sub set-up on like 500 watts at 2 ohms in a tuned ported box that will hit harder for sure.

 

[coltoncarroll 10+ year member]

well, those subs aren't bad at all....i just think i should just invest for the amp that does the 1000 @ 2 ohms or higher...and get a new ported box?
