2 channel...mono or multi channel...the amp will be hooked up to the sub and nothing else...any suggestions on what kind of amp i should get? preferabbly rock ford amp...with a good price
oh and can someone clear up the difference between 2 channel/mono/multi channel...like i sorta kno what the diff is...but wouldnt mind someone actaully telling me
You have two 4ohm terminals built into the box. You have a lot of different choices as to how to wire them. You can either buy a 2 channel amp that can put out your desired power at 4ohm to each speaker or you can find a 1 channel 2 ohm stable amp that can power them both. Each of your speakers are 200watt RMS.
Personally I would go with a 2 channel amp, if you're looking to stay with Rockford, I would go with the Rockford Punch 801s.
The difference between mono (1), 2 channel and multichannel is just the number of channels the amp outputs.
btw...are these subs any good? like would i get good bass out of em for the price...is 400watt rms good?
--sorry if i sound like a n00b--
im gonna replace my whole system out in the camry...so ill be posting here alot...lol....for now im trying to figure out what kind of amp/sub to get...and for now...im thinkin that rockford 801s amp u recommended...and that rockford enclosed sub package...sounds good or no?
It's an average entry level system. It's not gonna knock any fillings loose, but it will add some punch to your music.
If you want a prefab enclosure that will hit harder and possibly sound a little better look into Audiobahn. They'll be more expensive though. If you like sounddomain they have a pair of Audiobahn prefabricated 12s for $270.
Just a tip, prefabricated enclosures generally don't sound as good as if you went out and bought two speakers and dropped them in a custom enclosure. If you can't build your own enclosure it can be a lot more expensive though.
Personally if I were in your shoes I wouldn't go with a Rockford amp for $350. I'd go with a Profile for $150ish and get some better speakers. There are a lot of reliable budget amps out there where you can save yourself some money and put that extra cash towards some better sound.
how much you looking to spend on yoru amp? if you can put out about $250 or so get a hifonics brutus bx1500d... a lot of people really love these and you can get em cheap on ebay... they put out 500w @ 4 ohms, 1000w @ 2 ohms and 1500w @ 1 ohm. It will slightly overpower your subs, so just keep the gain down.
I wouldn't go with RF for subs or amp. I just don't like any of their stuff.

His speakers are rated at 400RMS combined. That HiFonics would put out 1000RMS. It's a bit overkill, but a good price and a good amp to have if he plans on upgrading in the future. Where did you see it for that price?
ebay... youd be surprised how many people at caraudio.com forums have em and almost all of em got them off ebay and have no complaints about the amp... didn't realize they were 400 wrms combined... well my suggestion is don't get those subs still but if you must find a cheaper amp and spend the saved money towards speakers.

im planning on spending around 1g on a new headunit, speakers, amp, 2 12' subs, and a cap (1g not including wires)
i got the premium sound system in my camry right now...i got a head unit with a cd/casette player....and tweeters...which i hear most camrys dont have?
pictures of my headunit - speakers/tweeters ...jus in case u dont know what im talking about
A cap for this system isn't worth the money at this point. If you actually notice a difference with it, it will be small and not worth your $70. Look into a better battery or alternator first.
Have you heard those speakers? And have you heard other speakers in the same price range? I'd strongly recommend listening to more speaker brands if you have not done so already.
u mean putting a whole new aftermarket battery in?
and ...i checked out some speakers at best buy...the rockford ones were by far the best...but they were the lower models...unfourtantly...they didnt have to many speakers set up =\
RF
RFP44212 Subs $179.99 per speaker (12")
800 watts
400 watts RMS
Duel Voice
No Box
RF amp 8015
2400 max power $499.99
Plus planning to get cap, wires, and installation there too.
It sounds REALLY NICE from what I heard, but I don't know if it's the best way to go. Rough cost is about $1,100 to $1,200 dollars.
If you guys had about $1000, what brand would you get? The best speakers that the rep said at Bestbuys said were those he should me. Those RF's. They sounds pretty nice though. I dunno. Total noob with car audio.
