cooleolio Unregistered guest | ok i have a rockford fosgate type rf x1 amp powering 2 10" alpine type s (600w peak) in a vented enclosure. HOWEVER, the performance is extremely inconsistant. my headunit, alpine 9811, demands alot maybe when i have 'MX' on and subw turned up and the fving amp goes into protection mode if i have the subs up high for more than 2 hard hitting songs. i was thinking that maybe i should just make the amplifier power my stock speakers and then buy a new amp that wont pvssy out on my subs. what should i get (amp), o ye knowledgable genious? i was hoping to spend $250-350 |

You shouldn't need to turn the sub outputs up that far with the alpine, but if the amp gains are set too high you'll also experience clipping which isn't good either. a few ideas: high output alternator: ~$200-500 better amplifiers (1 monoblock, 1 four-ch.) ~$600 better subs in a new box: ~$400+ |

cooleolio Unregistered guest | Ummm.. i dont think its a power problem. originally i only had one 10" and it never did that. so then i decided to add another one and thats when it started happening. my headlites never dim, my headunit never flutters. i defenitely dont want to buy another system completely (after spending $300 for the amp, $400 for the subs & box and the $100s for installs. but would the rf work with the facory speakers? what amplifier would have no problem powering the subs without going out? thanks |

cooleolio Unregistered guest | would this be better for my subs than the rf amp? http://www.cartoys.com/cartoys/showdetl.cfm?&DID=7&Product_ID=23556 |
