I have 2 12' rockfordfosgate p1's and a Kenwood KAC-7203 Amp. max power 1000 Watts. The problem is that the subs sound more crisp and clear when there is only one sub being used than with both subs. If anyone can please help me fix this problem i would really appreciate it. thank you. |

Gold Member Username: Joebruce15 Inch Wang... Post Number: 1057 Registered: May-04 | Ok i just checked and they only come in single 4ohm or single 8ohm. If they are single 8ohm then wire it like this bridged on your amp to get 500wrms at 4ohms. http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/woofer_wizard.asp?submitted=true&woofer_qt y=2&woofer_imp=2 If they are single 4ohm then just wire each on to each channel on your amp to get 170wrms x 2. BTW that amp problly doesnt do its rated power,Kenwood amps arnt that great and neither are those Rockford subs. In the future dont buy anything from Best Buy except maybe a Type R. |

New member Username: Jahe05Post Number: 5 Registered: Jun-07 | yeah the only reason i got this stuff was because my friend worked there and i got a really good deal for all of this stuff. i know its not the best but it was my first setup and my friend said it was decent. ( he knows how to do all of this stuff but he couldnt figure out why both of them together sounded bad) thanks again guys ill try to wire them differently when i get back from work |
