This setup any good?

[MoNsTeReNeRgY22 10+ year member]

Well I'm lookin into adding a amp and two subs to my car for christmas. I went to the place that installed my speakers and headunit and they said they would give me a Rockford Fosgate Punch P200-2 Amp and two Rockford Fosgate P2 Subs for 500 dollars out the door. With the box, installation, and everything. Is this a good setup/deal, and is there anything that you would switch, etc?

I currently have no amp or subs and have a Alpine CDA-9886 HU, two Alpine SPS-600 in the door, and two Alpine SPS-609 in the rear.

Any and all opinions and suggestions are highly appreciated!

Thanks again!

what kind of box and what installation kit you gona get?

You could definitely find better equipment with $500, I would do a little research on here to see how many other options you have. Also are you able to build your own box and install it yourself that would save a lot of money.

it's not a horrible deal. especially if that includes a 4ga power kit and decent rca's. i figure 100 for amp 250 for subs and box which adds up to 350, then well say 80 for wiring which brings total to 430 then 70 for install.

would i pay it? No, nor would I personally own the equiptment however for the average joe, who's gonna know the difference?

We sell those 2 subs, with a prefab ported box, and a monoblock amp for that price. It's not bad for retail goods, but you can do a lot better with $500 and some research.

That is a fine price. What is the rated power of the amp?

It's not a bad deal but I would go with JL for an amp and JL or Alpine for the sub.

LMFAO, you couldnt get a JL W -10 and a 10.1 for 500.

Hmm, I purchased a Punch P5002 used for $90 and a dd1010 with the ported box for $140 shipped then installed everything myself. Granted, a good bit of my equipment for my Civic's build was used, but my budget was the best I could get for under $1,000. Prior to getting the 25 to Life Punch 150, I was at $850! Removing the P5002 and replacing it with the 150 will put me @ $910 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Thanks again everyone for answering!

For the people saying this a a terrible deal, any specific reason why other than its terrible?

I honestly have no idea what kind of box and installation kit they would use. All I know is they said it includes it. lol

For the rater power I got the following off of their site.

50W x 2 @ 4-Ohms RMS 100W x 2 @ 2-Ohms RMS

200W x 1 @ 4-Ohms bridged RMS

I will admit I know next to nothing about any of this, thats why I am posting here to get advice and to do my research at the same time.

I would want a bit more power on the P2's we did a set of P1's on a 1k amp, But they were stinking a bit.

So basically go with a different set of subs?
