Getting The Most Rms Into My Sub

[Turbo Piston]

Hey guys,

This is the amp that I have:

http://www.dealtime.com/xPF-Rockford-Fosga...d-Fosgate-P3001

Amplifier Type Mono Channel

Bridgable Not Bridgable

RMS Power at 4 Ohms 150 W x 1

RMS Power at 2 Ohms 300 W x 1

Is there anyway I can pump 600RMS into a sub? Does the sub have to be 2ohm dual voice coil?

No. To get 600 wrms you would need two of those amps and a dual 2ohm voice coil sub.

In theory doubling the power will only yield a 3db gain.

If you choose a sub that has a sensitivity (or SPL rating) that is 3db higher it will play as loud with 300w as a 3db less sensitive sub will with 600w.

Optimising the box design and positioning can gain 12db or more so don't sweat about maximising wrms.

It's more important to choose the right sub and put it in a box that suits your car's acoustic characteristics.

Thats good advice there booster,

Had you already chosen a sub?
