I am thinking of going with a Rockford Fosgate Power T1000-1BDCP mono amp for a sub or two in a sealed enclosure. It's 700W x 1 @ 4-Ohms, 1000W x 1 @ 2-Ohms, 1000W x 1 @ 1-Ohm (RMS)
I can get this amp for less than $450.00 new. I have a 4 channel AB amp for my Focal 165 VB front components, a Rockford Power T600-4. 100 x 4 @ 4 ohms. Two channels are currently bridged (300 watts @ 4 ohm) to power a sub and I just don't have the volume I would like. I like SQL more than SPL. I would hate to add another AB amp for a sub only to find out it strains my electrical system too much. I think my stock alternator is 80 amp. I think the SQ factor is more about the sub and enclosure, not the class of amp when we are talking subs? Is this amp going to overpower my fronts or can something be done to balance things out? Turn the gain down on the mono amp? Input appreciated. Thank you.
