Rockwood and Rockford Fosgate??

[Russcat 10+ year member]

Ok here's the deal I just got 2 Rockford Fosgate Punch Z 12s.The only amp I have is a 4 channel 200w Rockwood Detonator.I am trying to save up to buy a Punch 150.The RFZs are only 200watts so should I even bother hooking up this sucky amp to these decent speakers or just wait until I can afford a better amp?Would these speakers even sound decent or hit at all with this sorry amp?Also the amp doesn't say it's bridgeable so will it hurt it if I try to bridge it so it will push 100w instead of 50?Thanks.

Well if you want to keep the amp dont do it but if you dont then I say hook it up hell wire it in parllell and watch it fry!!!!!!!LOL.

So do you think it would sound ok if i hooked it up to these subs without bridging the amp?I dont plan on using this amp for a long time.I just want something with a little knock before I can get the Punch 150 I want.It shouldnt be more than about 3 weeks before I can get it.Would this little Rockwood work until then?

if you bridge the amp it should work

and those punch z's are only 100 rms so they should be pretty well powered
