will this set up work???

rockford p4004 amp max power= 1200 watts max and
2 12" infinity subs = 1200 watts each

 

why not?

 

wont the subs be under powered cuz there is 2 subs that are 1200watts and the amp it self is 1200 watts?

 

the amp is probably 1200 watts max at 4 ohms, if you drop it down to a 1/2 ohm, then you probably would be pushing around 1900 watts. i would buy it

 

Great place to ask a question. Now you'll get 50 uneducated answers from people that think they know. If you are serious you should go to a reputable car audio shop and ask them.

Huge diff between somebody that's done it once or twice. And someone that does it for a living.

 

what does that mean??? im asking cuz i was gonna buy this stuff off someone and do everything myself?
so unclad, what do u suggest???

 

Im suggesting that if you want the right answer, go to a car audio shop. A good one. If it's important that you have it done correctly.

 

would that kind of amp even be stable at 1/2 ohm?

 

use your p4004 for front and rear speakers. Go and buy a P6001 mono for your subs. You can control them very well with this amp + use less power to run it.

 

so i should get 2 amps??? i was planning on goin to futureshop to buy some shit......

 

the p4004 only runs about 50X4 rms(not exactly sure, didnt check it) , and max wattage doesnt really matter. its designed for speakers, not for subs. you would be better off with a 2-channel or a mono amp to run the subs.

 

how many watts should the amp have if i got 2 12" with 1200 watts each??

 

Or at least make a phone call....I'm sure they wouldn't have a problem telling you. Don't ruin a bunch of expensive equipment just because someone says it'll work, especially when you can get the facts for free..

 

 

Any 4 channel amp is used mainly for highs since you will be putting 2 sets of speakers to it. You can bridge everything if you are good wiht wiring. But for your subs i would go with a one or two channel amp, it will save you lots of power and not blow your amp. I also wouldn't put any amp under 2 ohms. My friend tried to do it and blew a whole bunch of fuses. It is way to much power.
But if you want to drop the ohms go to a car audio place inb your area and ask them to instal it. I know at my local Mobil one they install bass amps for about 40 -50.
