I'm certain it is. Previously I raan two subs off it (RF) and ran two kenwood 6x9s off the RF amp. I only had one pre amp on that head unit so the 6x9s would be distorted and never sounded right. Then I came on these boards and heard from pretty much everyone that RF aren't good subs.

just because it has 4 connectors dosent mean its mono, many mono amps have 4 connectors, mine does

Why not post the model # of the Directed amp and end any and all doubt?

the model he posted is a mono amp it has 4 connectors on that model, that is why his 6x9s were distorted

So it's the 350d?

Yeah, its the 350D. THe Rockford subs were the P3s

yea you cant use the 350d, if i was you i would get the focals for the front they are very exspensive speakers and dont require as much power as you will use your rf amp 2 power everything

It would be okay for powering a decent little sub. Maybe a pair of Sundown E8s. Hell, I'd keep it around. You may need it eventually...

so I should just leave the factory 6x9s in and replace the components with the focals and add the IDQs

 

[mclerico83 5,000+ posts]

yes but he already has an amp for his subs, he is looking to power a pair of 6x9s and a pair of 6.5 components but only has a rf 200s 100rms x 2 at 2 ohm

no you want to get rid of all the factory

The focals say 60 watts RMS with the 600w RF amp will I blow them?
