Twizzle209 Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 I have 2 12's currently in my ride, im taking out those 12's to put in my other ride, I have a pioneer 2ch brideable amp that I will be putting in there for now, its a small amp i think its only 100watts RMS 300watt peak, I have a sony xplod 10" 1100watts in a box already, a buddy of mine has a Rockford p1 12" in a box that he wants to trade me for, Which speaker should I keep for my little car given the amp and everything, The Xplod 10" or the P1 12" I got pictures below, and this setup is just temporary by the way but I wanna know if tradin my 10 for the p1 12 is a good deal or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toady Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 (edited) First off welcome to the forum. Honestly if i were you making he decision i would probably take the rockford sub. Higher wattage sub and you might actually like the quality better. Have you ever thought about going bigger like for example, custom ported sub enclosure, or upgraded wires, or bigger amps or subs. Browse through this site you will see awesome products that people are using from SMD partners and more, you will see lots of advice on how to build and install. One thing i learned quick back in the day is that your box pretty much makes your install. If you have a crappy box or prefrabricated you are cheating yourself out of sound and quality. A good box will make your system shine even will a lower end sub... Good Luck Bro Edited November 26, 2011 by Toady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Luck Bro Like I said this is only temporary setup, Im pulling out 2 12's and a 1500 watt monoblock amp to put in another ride and putting 1 sub in for now, and you say the Fosgate P1 has more wattage? but the specs say 150 watt RMS for the fosgate and the Xplod says 300 watt RMS, I googled it, are you sure about the p1 having more wattage?

Watch the bass Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 The better on the RF is the resalevlue, if you didn´t get a stronger amp, wattage of amp and sub would match better.

Honestly man, do what you think is right, im not trying to change your mind. When it comes to rms yes 300rms vs 150 rms is more wattage. But when installed right in the right box the Rockford can handle more than 150 rms daily. Ive had customers throwing 600 watts unclipped to it all day years without problems. But like i said it also depends on enclosure and power thrown at it whether or not its been tuned right Edit. Before i saw the vid posted. not trying to push rockford products, just between the 2 subs given i posted my opinion Edited November 26, 2011 by Toady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattc3366 Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 I would go with the fosgate and make your own ported box for it. subwoofers - two eclipse 88120s box - 3.4 cubes tuned to 32 hz amps - aq1200 and pheonix gold zx450 New build : 2 obsidian audio 15s same amp 6.1 cubic foot box tuned to 32 hz in a civic hatch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
