Underpowering a 15" Death Row

[davidg121 0]

Ok guys, im in the process of selling my current amp and sub... I have a buyer for my current sub but not the amp...

heres the amp... Rockford FosgateP5002

I am planning on buying a 15" death row once my sub is sold, along with a new enclosure for it... But my question is... will my current amp be able to push it enough to get sound louder than it is right now hooked up to a 12" w3v3... this may sound like a noob question but i have really never underpowered a sub this much before...

It should be fine, until you save enough for a new amp.

Oh definetly, its just that i am trying to find a buyer for my current amp, but i wanna get the ball rolling yah know? kinda anxious haha. Heres another question... Im planning on buying an aq1200d, or possible a saz-1000d (if i have the money at that point in time). Should i get the 1ohm or 2ohm coils on the sub... im not sure of the difference haha. I wont lie i mean i pretty much have only done mainstream subs and amps, finally stepping up to the big guns.

Just go with the dual 2 ohms option, you can get a 4 or 1 ohm final load and it will be easier to re-sell if you ever do.

dual 2ohm coils for 1ohm load on the amp ...and a good choice with AQ or Sundown

actually i think this answers my question but please correct me if its wrong...

i get a 2ohm sub... and wire it like that because the aq and the sundown both go to 1 ohm

and i wire it like

while i have the rf p5002

correct?

You will have it on the 4 ohms, and then bridge it on the the RF p5002. Then you will get the 500 watts at 4 ohms bridged.

Sweet, you guys have been amazing haha. Almost instant responses. Only reason im not buying everything together later on is that i want to take up that deal that audibel customs is having right now for the free enclosure... U really cant beat that haha

Yea I know, an awesome deal and he builds awesome boxes.

all honesty ive fallen in love the the death row, and ive heard the lethal injection wont be TOO much of a jump up from a w3

Got the same amp powering my DR 12, you will need more power as I do too! I'm just waiting for box recomendations for the Warden Series first! Before I by the amp.
