I have a Rockford Fosgate 400S amp and just bought 2 Rockford Fosgate Punch P2 12's subs. Im wondering will the 400S push the 2 12's without hurting any of my equipment? Here are the specs........
Fosgate 400S Amp 100 watts RMS x 2 at 4 ohms 200 watts RMS x 2 at 2 ohms 400 watts RMS x 1 at 4 ohms in bridged mode
Rockford Fosgate 12" Punch Stage 2 Subwoofer 400 Watts Maximum Power Handling / 200 Watts RMS 4 Ohm Single Voice Coil Operation with Parabolic Polypropylene Cone
I see that I can get 200 watts per channel in 2 ohm on the amp. BUT can I run the amp at 2 ohm and leave the subs at 4 ohms? I'm not sure about ohms and stuff, I just want a good clean sound. I would like any feedback I could get so I will know how to connect everything the 1st time.
I was told by a friend that lower ohms give better sound. That is why I bought 4 ohm subs. I can't run the amp at 2x200 @ 2ohms and be safe and have enough power since the RMS on the subs is 200 watts? Thanks for the advice. If not..... what would you suggest as an amp?
Right now I have it bridged on a pair of RF punch z's 12's. It works fine that way. What ohm would that be running? I have no idea how to make it run 2 ohm anyway, but it would be nice to know..lol
