[QUOTE="SofireGuy, post: 7558749, member: 566724"] I actually owned the 10" version of the P3 series of rockford, and I won't say I was displeased. They really do hit hard, but they need power, and they sound like crap, they are just loud. I think the material they made them out of is just too stiff. But it depends what you are listening to, do you want SQ or SPL?? If you haven't already bought them I would go with something else like previous posts, otherwise yes you will need at a minimum of 600 watts RMS to push them both. decent. Keep in mind these are DVC so you are looking at 4ohms per coil and have 4 voice coils(parallel on both speakers will bring you to 2ohms per speaker or 1 ohm total load). You need a 1 ohm stable monoblock, or a powerful 2 ohm stable 2 channel amp. There are so many amps out there that will meet your needs its not even funny, it's just how much you want to spend and how much power you want. Only look at RMS, and don't try to give those RF-P3s 2400watts you will break them. I personally like PPI, Memphis, Sundown, Soundstream, and old Rockford. To answer your question about the RF T1500-1bd, the power looks underrated by reviews, and it seems to be nice, and it is in the T-line.
