1x 12'' rockford fosgate p3

http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_34748_Rockford-Fosgate-P3-1X12.html

1000 watts rms @ 1 ohm Amplifier (maybe a little too big of an amp? could i find a name brand one cheaper?)

Wiring kit

http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_13218_The-InstallBay-AK4.html

This is what I've came up with so far.

Budget is about $500 for subs+box+amp+wiring.

Please post if you can make any improvements or get something pretty much the same for cheaper :)

That was my plan but how exactly do you wire down a subwoofer from 2 to 1 ohms?

Enclosure Features
Single Punch P3 12" Loaded Subwoofer Enclosure
Constructed with durable 5/8" MDF
High current binding posts
Proprietary high-flow, low-noise port
Durable black carpet covering
Computer optimized design
Final Impedance: 1 ohm
Dimensions: 15-3/4”D x 19-1/8”W x 15-1/8”H

I assume that means its already pre wired down to 1 ohm?

Your amp really depends on if you plan on upgrading in the future.

That sub package your looking at is a dual 2 ohm you can either run it at 1 ohm with a single sub or 4 ohms, so if you plan on keeping one sub and not upgrading to 2 speakers find an amp that does 600-900 rms at 1 ohm or 4 ohm ( I wouldnt do more unless you really know how your tuning your gains)

That box is bad build your own box.

If your running more rms to a sub then its rated for its important to break that sub in with low gains and volume for a good few weeks so that the suspension loosens up.



What i would do, is just buy a p3 the sub alone the Dual 4 ohm coil(Not the one your looking at), then run it at 2 ohms on this. http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_29851_Hifonics-Brutus-BRZ1200.1D-Amplifier-Kit.html And if you want to upgrade in the future just buy another dual 4 ohm and wire it down to 1 ohm. WALA

That 0 gauge wiring kit will be nice too.

Heres a diagram for a dual 4 to 2 ohms

Its better than a Best Buy box, but not as good as a custom one.

I'm not good at building so I think i'll just buy a loaded box and be satisfied.
