They are a joke to you guys, but people with small amps that are rated at 14.4v, a cap really does help reach they're rated power. Joking or not. And what's this "He's running JL, therefore must be using a cap."? hahaha, if you use JL amps you never need a cap. lol. They put out almost the same power from 11 - 15v. However the P300 he has is likely around 250 rms or less at 4 ohms 13.6V. The only way to get rated power out of Rockford is 14.4v solid usually at 2ohms. Slightest dip means big power loss. lol

There is no good way to make that work for you. Seeing as some people on here seem to be JL haters (ummm Yuli, 
) lol, Might I recommend the JL 500.1 for this sub as long as you don't plan to get a second sub. If so, I'd look for something rated at 500 rms at 4ohms but is 2 ohm stable for later.

I have been using that amp for a few months now am liking it. It has a small footprint so it's fairly easy to find a spot for it. The 500w RMS however is at 2 ohm. If I read the posts right you have a SVC 4ohm which means you will be putting out 300w RMS

Ya its a 4 ohm, but that amp will at least be better than my curent one.

This is easy and safe to do if your sub has dual voice coils. Simply wire each coil to one amp. Level matching is ideal but it will not hurt anything otherwise.

The only benefit I can see for upgrading to the Alpine would be that you could buy another sub and hook it up for a 2 ohm load. You would still be underpowering it though as each sub would be seeing 250W RMS max. If you are thinking of going Apline and adding another sub you may as well find an amp that will give the subs their full power.
