sub enclosure question
i found these subs/amp and enclosure at a garage sale, 10$, so i figured i couldn't pass it up. I figured out what the amp was , a Memphis PBC200, and the subs just say "PUNCH HE". I looked on the Rockford Fosgate website and none of the subs looked like these... so i am not sure what they are.
My question is should this sub enclosure be enough for these subs? I had it runnign but the subs were pumping but it wasnt very powerful at all... Im running the stock stereo and i followed the How-To on installing a sub on the stock Head unit. with a line converter and all that.
And also will the amp and subs work well together?

i think its the amp thats bringing it down... and also the box they are in is TINY compared to what it suggests in the manual. Anyone know of a good how to on building a box?
tha amp is only rated at 50 x 2 rms... so if i wanted more PUNCH should i get a bigger amp and then make a ported box?

Never mind..... figured out it is the amp.... i took one of the subs out to see the model number. the box is 2 seperate compartments. completely sealed from eachother. the amp is only 200 watts and the speakers are 400 watt max... so yea its the amp.... what do you ppl recommend for an amp for these? the model number is RFP3410.
thank you
thank you

whatever gets u 400ws... i have a 300w fosgate (will give u a little under 400w i believe 344 to be exact) or 800w fosgate im selling. They will be posted up on ebay soon unless u want them. im looking for 100 or 200. depending on what u wanted to get u could get my 800w 4 chan and run 400 to the subs and amp ur mids, or get the 2 chan and only use half the amp

yea ... the only way im buying a new amp is if i can get it fairly cheap... i dotn really mind what i have now... but if i could find one reasonably cheap it would be worth it to me...
i didnt make sense there sorry.... what i mean is it isnt top priority for money haha

ya personally i would by the smaller one anyway unless u plan on upgrading. For the money theres not much better u can do and i really take care of my equipment Either way thou just let me know... ill probably end up listing it on ebay in the next few days if not.
Oh and replacing the box would do you quite a bit as well.
