[QUOTE="DrTre"] Alrite well what if your subs say they are Dual 2 or 4 ohm Subwoofer. Does that mean it could work with a 2ohm load and a 4 ohm load? All in all I just want your recommendation for the perfect amp, for those two Rockford subs, to get 250 RMS out of both of them

This is the wrong forum for this. Try: http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/forum/default.asp If you want my recommendation, you'll need to send me the EXACT model number of the sub. Private message me, this probably doesn't need to be in the forum anymore. Also, check out the ridiculously long Blog entry I wrote about car audio here.

I have a truck. So, no trunk to put speakers in. Even if I did, I wouldn't see the point anyway. If you want to listen to your music loud, that's fine. Roll up your windows and turn the speakers up. But is it really necessary to force everyone in a five block radius to listen to your ****ing bass for 15 minutes? I can't possibly count the number of times I've woken up in the middle of the night because some **** is blasting his system as he rides slowly down a road two or three streets away at four in the morning.masterchief2512
Agreed, this is what Dynamat is designed for: those people obsessed with their car stereos so they don't disturb others. Dynamat rocks!

I just noticed something.

My Rockford subs say they are P2 DVC.

Dual Voice Coil.

On that site you showed me it recommened that for subs with DVC's to use a 2- channel amp.

So would that be better than a Mono Amp?

Thanks again for all your help.

DrTre
I do not recommend using a two-channel amp for DVC subs. Instead, I'm going to recommend that, "It depends." It has to do with the resistance of the voice coils. If your subs have two 4ohm voice coils, you will likely be better off with a two-channel amp. You would wire your subs in parallel (look this up) and put a 2-ohm load to each of the two channels. HOWEVER, you can also run the two subs in series, then in parallel (each sub would be 8ohms individually, than parallel the two 8-ohm loads, yielding a 4-ohm load). So there are lots of options. Whether your subs have dual 2-ohm, 4-ohm, or 8-ohm (unusual) coils will determine which type of amp you need.

This one was actually pretty easy for me:

  • PC for alone gaming
  • Wii for group gaming

[QUOTE="ProudLarry"][QUOTE="sigphilwilson"][QUOTE="ProudLarry"]If she had the power to, she'd likely try and ban violent video games altogether. So I don't know why anyone on this forum would want to vote for her anyway.sigphilwilson
You are assuming everyone here cares about violent games

Well I'm not saying that I or anyone else should be a single-issue voter. But its the principle of the idea. I find it hard to respect anyone that believes in banning something in the name of moral righteousness, or "protecting the children".

I can respect that

At 28, I'm starting to consider how Video Games will affect my kids. Then I remember that I was playing Wolfenstein 3D at 13, and I feel okay. But GTA is another animal. You are rewarded for doing wrong, and I can see parents having an issue with this. I don't want to hijack the thread, and so let me go out with this: Of all the issues she could have picked during her time as Senator: poverty, education, hunger, the economy, genocide, international relations, state funding (I used to live in NY), racism, crime... she had time to focus on video games. Her lack of priority bothers me on a very basic level.

Just slip a knife into his backpack and then write a note to the office saying he has a deadly weapon and threatened to pull it on you. helium_flash
While I cannot endorse this course of action, I do think it is the most impressive idea thus far. My advice? Put some nasty, nasty stuff in your hair, then have him touch it. Or respond with something sultry like, "I like it when you touch me like that." If you pick this route you need to commit to it, really go after him. "I've always felt this way, but just can't hold it back. Touch my head... yes! Yes! YES!" Make sure everyone can hear you. Continue to wink at him and make loud, flamboyant comments.

No, a mono amp is an amplifier that only amplifies one channel. One amplifier can power multiple speakers when they are either bridge or in series (which changes the resistance, measured in ohms). I would suggest - based on the questions you are asking - that you visit this site. This should answer most of your basic questions, and if you have more, just ask me!

Any Mono Class D amplifier would fit the bill. While you'll get arguments like crazy from people at SoundDomain about what amp brand is best, any Class D Mono Sub Amp will power those subs just fine. Here's a great list to start. I have bought from OnlineCarStereo, and they're okay. The prices make the crappy service worth it. Alternative include WoofersEtc, which has been great, or the more pricey Crutchfield, which will give you the best possible support. Consider the Alpine MRP-M450 or Soundstream Di175.1 as entry-level, quality amplifiers. The next step up would be the Soundstream Di475.1, MTX TA3401, Alpine MRP-M650, or Audiobahn A8005DN. If you're going Rockford, make sure you get something from their POWER line, not their PUNCH line. There's a big difference, and you'll hear it (and feel it). I hit about 141db in my car with two subs. Be careful when selecting a ported or sealed enclosure, it will affect sound, power requirements, and volume. Also remember that the GAIN knob on the amp is NOT a volume knob.

I take it you didn't read the thread before posting.

I am literally crying with laughter. Unicorns!
