a8000t or a8002t. I don't like rockford amps and I have heard great things from audiobahn amps. I can get you one of those for about 200 shipped. Also you should look into avionixx, a little bit more on the cost like 40 dollars more, but whole lot better power

I did a install for a buddy about a month ago. He had the rockford fosgate punch 600 and one Sony 12" 4-Ohm Subwoofer with P5-Series Pentagonal Cone. Anyway that amp works good\fair for the one 12".
IMO rockford fosgate has gone down hill BIG TIME in the last 2 years It gets REAL HOT fast. I mounted it on the back of the fold down rear seat & used rubber spacers to raise it up about 1\4" for better cooling. Yet it still runs way to hot for my taste.
I wouldnt spend the money for the rockford. I just cant see it lasting very long with as hot as they run

Re: Need Help!!!!!

Which is why I suggest the DEI, audiobahn has some good power, but I bet you will get a cleaner louder sound out of the dei 1100d amp.

Re: Need Help!!!!!

www.dei.com is the site of the company.

DEI stands for Directed Electronic Inc.

its one of the most reliable brand out there. widely used in competitions. nate munson had 4 of the 1100d amps to his single Digital designs 9515 to capture his world record. of course installation plays a big role, but these amps hardly get hot at all.

here is the one i'm selling:

http://www.sounddomain.com/sku/DEI1100D


basically brand new. i have pictures too. the newer models look different, but virtually everything is the same as far as power, reliability, etc. sturdy amps.

Re: Need Help!!!!!

The newer ones are also much more expensive, but preform exactly the same. Tell us what you think with your 2 cvrs hooked up like this, also what are the rms ratings and are they svc or dvc 2 or 4 ohm speakers?

Re: Need Help!!!!!

First off subs don't put out power, secondly it is would your subs handle the amp. the amp will do 1100 at 1 ohm, if you tune down the fader till their is no distortion, the subs should do fine. 2 4 ohm DVCs can be wired at 1ohm on that amp, if they are DVC, meaning dual voice coil.
