sdg0080 Posted October 7, 2009 Report Posted October 7, 2009 so what would be a better choice in a multi amp set up? run 2 Rockford Fosgate Punch P1000-1bd, or 2 T1000-1bd? they both put out the same power, but the big diff i see is the bass boost settings. i do have a third option i already have a couple T5002 so do i get 2 more? they are going to be pushing 2 Fi bl 18's Quote
Mikesmith0890 Posted October 7, 2009 Report Posted October 7, 2009 it would probably be easier to sell you're t500s and buy a bigger amp. Personally i'd try and snag the new T2500.

Car-B-Ques suck.ya, tires and paint burning make the marshmallows taste funny.

Personally i'd try and snag the new T2500. true, however i am mounting them into a reg cab truck. if i went with a single large am i'd need to mount it in the bed of the truck, im doing a blow through, and im a bit worried about security. if i use smaller amps i can mount them in the cab of the truck. much harder to steal...that is the only reason im thinking about the smaller amps...i know the t5002 are a couple years old but they can still be bough fairly inexpensive.

Mikesmith0890 Posted October 7, 2009 Report Posted October 7, 2009 yeah but honestly, the 4 t500s are going to be larger than the t2500. the t2500 is ~21"x8"x2" and each t5002 is ~2"x12"x18" and then multiply that by 4 (for 4 amplifiers) the 2500 would save you a ton of room Quote AlphaDamp Sound Deadening CDL Mat - The best Vibration Damper Ever!

smokeumtires Posted October 7, 2009 Report Posted October 7, 2009 plus the P-series and the T-series dont put out the same power... Them T-series GET DOWN Quote
Mikesmith0890 Posted October 7, 2009 Report Posted October 7, 2009 ^^^ this. i love my punch 10001bd.. but the power series kills it Quote AlphaDamp Sound Deadening CDL Mat - The best Vibration Damper Ever!

MrSoundz Posted October 7, 2009 Report Posted October 7, 2009 The T-series also has a better heatsink as well. The RF Power series is no joke. I own the T1500-1BD, T1000-1BD T500-1BD and 2 T400-4 for my 4-Runner and 300zx. They are excellent amps. The T5002 are the size of a house. Quote

Power are rated higher for 4ohm and 2ohm, and are MUCH further underrated at 1ohm. also 2 T1000-1bd's will still have a smaller footprint then your T5002. Quote CAUTION! POOR INSTALLATION MAY SHORT BOTH YOUR SYSTEM AND WALLET
melonhead Posted October 8, 2009 Report Posted October 8, 2009 Yeah I'd go with the power series as well. The few extra bucks is worth it. Quote
sdg0080 Posted October 8, 2009 Author Report Posted October 8, 2009 hmmm...i could fit a t2000-1bd. im designing a box right now...if i did 2 ports, one on each side, vs 1 in the center i could mount it between the 2 subs... Quote
