i will have 2 12" rockford fosgate subs 150 watts rms each they are single voice coil and i will be buying a kicker kx 350.2 or 350.4 depending on what would work better with the subs ohm load.

if you can get those subs in a single 4ohm...just get the kx350.2 and wire one sub to each channel. the amp will see a 2ohm load and the subs will get ~200w each.

if you get them in singe 8ohm...wire both subs in parrallel and bridge the amp. the amp will see a 4ohm load and each sub will get ~200w.


oh...and to tell the truth, unless you already have those rockford 12's...i would look into getting something else.

actually the 350.4 would work better, if bridged per channel, 4ohm load, but may be to much power for them.

(2) 200wrms subs will be ok but @ age 19 i'm betting u would definitely like something louder unless u don't want your bro 2 spend too much $

If were my i'd get a single alpine type R 4ohms model with a alpine 605 amp - that'll sound good & be about the same budget .....
