2 rockfords 3 amps

I installed my 2 rockford fosgate P3's along with 2 kicker 750 amps for the speakers and 1 rockford 4 ch amp for the highs and lows. Leme know what you think.






Alright now I want to ask for your guys opinion! I want to get an SS spoiler to replace my Low-rise spoiler. Now i was wondering what you guys thought of a Black spoiler. I have (as you can see) a Red car, with dark 20 percent tint, and black rims. I kinda think that a black spoiler might go well with it but i'm kinda nervous about it. I photo shopped a picture of what it might look like.

System is sweet man. great work

I have a 2 tone spoiler so of course im gonna vote yes. But if you do then i suggest you add more black to the ass of your car by tinting tail lights and painting badges black if there are any left. Heres mine so you can see,

I have rockfords in both the doors and 6x9's and there from the power series line (t1693c for the 6x9's and t162c for the doors) they sound great as well. Im very impressed with the whole system, i love rockfords line of speakers..

and yea i planed on tinting the tails, your car looks good man.

yeaa i could, possibility once I get some more money.. I have those two amps because i use to have 2 kicker subs, but they both were blown.. and i dont think i could even go back to kicker subs, altho i know there are some newer better kickers out there from the ones that i had.

The P3's absolutely SLAM! I have them in a ported box, as you can see, and they are amazing!! I would recommend them to any one! and Thanks for the props everyone!

and no, there 2 ohm subs so the only way that i could wire them each to their own amp is by wiring them as 4 ohm... at least i think thats the only way.

o so ur rockford amp is a 4 channel?

either way replace those kickers asap, would be a bad ass... but none the less looks sick as it is

i love my p2s but wanna get a ported box made from a local shop... how much does it cost?

The problem with that is that 4 ch amps are not class D amps, and are power hungry/less efficent, the only class A/B amps that were good to run subs (off the top my head) were the old Orion XTR Extreme amps but you needed to wire them down to 0.25 ohms to get them to give good numbers out, something that just isn't seen in todays amps.

I would stick with the 2 amps if I were you, eeven if you get one big one (I happen to pick up a zx1250.1 the other day, don't know what I'm going to use it for but it was a good deal, so i took it) that runs the same wattage as the two, its going to cause power issues, the lower the ohm rating the more stress it puts on the electrical system, two amps putting out 1250 watts @ 2 ohms is going to be easier on the cars electrical than 1 amp putting out 1250 @ 1ohm. Don't know why it is like that just know from experiance that this is the way it is most of the time

that sucks man.... i hate to see the day someone tries to steal mine

quick question...... how much harder would my 2 12" p2s hit in a ported box rather than a sealed?

to me it was more of a different kind of hit as well as a little louder... none the less it sounds much better in a ported box at least when listening to hip-hop/rap.. I would recommend getting a ported box, i use to have a sealed one, and I wouldn't want to go back..
