Hey, so I'm looking into getting 2 Rockford Fosgate P210D4's. The RMS ratings on them say 250watts, what I'm wondering is if I power them with a Rockford Fosgate P300-1 running at 2ohms(300watts RMS) will i be over powering the subs? or would the amp slit the 300 watts between the subs making it 150watts to each sub?

thanks for the help

Two subs will share the 300 watt load, and each will get 150 watts. You will be underpowering them, but will do the trick.

would it be worth getting a bigger amp then or would they still pound pretty good?

if you want pounding bass, you need more power. If you just want a nice solid bottom end, it'll do the trick. Again, this all depends on your idea of "pounding bass"...

Ok, so if I'm understanding this right, if i want pounding Bass i would need a 600watt RMS Mono Block amp?

600 watts at least.

I looked at your subs. They appear to be dual 4 ohmers. So if you want to run these two subs, you cannot get a monoblock. These subs will give you 4 ohm load when bridged, and not many monoblocks give you a lot of power at that load. If you already have the subs, and set on using them, then you may consider getting a 2-channel amp, and run them in stereo at 2 ohm load. You must be kinda new to this ohm stuff If you still want to use a monoblock, you may want to get the subs in dual 2 ohm configuration.

I do already have the subs, and I am new to the whole car audio stuff, i do know a little bit, but when it comes to the details I'm useless. So my best bet would be to get a 2-channel amp that puts out about 250watts RMS @ 2ohms per channel or 4 ohms per channel? would i wire the subs together or individually?

Would I wire each sub like this and then connect them to the left and right channel?
AMP

Or would i wire them like this and bridge my connection?


thanks

I'd advise against getting a 2-channel amp since they are not as energy efficient as a mono block and more exspsensive for a given amount of power.
