Im currently running two P3s (2006 model, dual 4ohm) in a ported box built to specs being powered by a Fosgate t3002 and a Stinger 1.0 cap. It is very loud, but my bass is not deep enough. My birthsheet for the amp came in at 892rms at 2 ohms. I currently have 4 gauge wire in my ride (2006 Mazda 3 sedan). Which amp should I upgrade too? Im debating between the following Fosgate amps: t5002, t8002, t5001bd, or t10001bd. Please help me with your suggestions and include whether or not I should upgrade the wiring, b/c it can be very costly. Im most likely going to be running a 5 farad Power Acousik cap with one of the amps of my choice. I have heard that u can run the t10001bd with 4 gauge, but I want to make sure its safe to do so. I listen to only reggae/rap music, and I pound it out pretty hard while im driving. I would also like to know if the t8002 can run okay with 4 gauge wiring. Oh yea, I also have an Optima Red Top under the hood as well, and the wiring is all Stinger. Please help me! I want to have the most gut wrenching, pavement cracking bass that I can have from my pair of P3s!!! Let me know the pros/cons, and your suggestions! Thank you =)

 

Ditch the cap and get the t10001bd to run a clean 500 each sub. Your 4 gauge wire should be ok, but you should do the big 3.

If it still doesn't sound right, look into making a new box tuned to the type of music you like.
