Fosgate amps are powerful but their subs blow. They just look cool with 10 pounds of plastic

you will be far from the best around. their amps are powerful yes but way overpriced, the same/better can be had for much less but whatever you do dont touch their subs, call me a bandwagon hate but i dont mess with mainstream stuff, id test out some stuff like a solo x or a type x if the price was well below retail but the t2 is a huge waste of money, i had a single mojo 15 in 4.4 cubes @ 32 hz on about 2k in a trunk and it sounded better and was louder than this guys 2 t2s on an older t2000cp idk his box specs tho, they just dont do what they should . kicker, rf, alpine all of their higher end amps are great but not at the price they want for them. basically, the whole prime line is junk, the punch line is junk but the p3 is decent if you can get 2 on cl for under 100 dollars and the power line is a rip off, it all underperforms. i mean 250 bucks for 150 rms on the prime amps? wtf? but no matter what your friends or random guys that talk up their **** tell you rf subs are pure junk (with price and hype taken into account) if a t2 was 150 bucks id buy 4 but not at 500-900 dollars. but i commend you for not telling us you wanted a 13w7 and how they r the best thing since sliced bread.

This thread makes me sad. You should reconsider all of your choices, to be honest.

Get round speakers, not oval ones. They will sound much better. Mix and match products too. RF might make some decent amps but they dont make good everything.

That's quite an expensive route you're taking. Nonetheless a 2000w rms would be it. or the 2500

I'm going to upgrade to the T1500BDCP when I get some cash put up. But only because what it can do at both 1 and 2 ohms. I like its flexability, but it does put out about 150 more watts at 1ohm. And for under $500 bucks its not to bad!

And they look cool to!

For the price you would pay for RF mids and highs there are plenty better options out there. Hertz, Focal, Morel. I'm sure there are more but thats all the high ends I've heard

You can get a Sundown 1500 for not even $400, and that'll handle .5 ohms all day...

I heard they only warrenty down to 1ohm

I looked into that option but this one was safer and more easy on the elecrtical

And I'm not in a hurry so I'll spend a bit more.

Audiopipe as a 1500 that basically does rated for $150 and an 1800 that's like $185. Not the same quality, but still.

Crescendo 3ks are **** near your price point for 1500 watts lol. Those are warrantied @ .5 ohm and do wellll over 3k

Don't hump the names

I would if it will match whatever sub configuation I want to play with.

1 amp many options!

I dont really care how much it cost if it will do what I need it to do for a very long time.

I dont have a need to go over that kind of RMS so it will pay for it self in the long run if I want to change subs again and can only find dual 4 or dual 1.

Sorry for being a thread jacker, you can have it back OP
