How would this amp cope with a set of Rockford fosgate P165-S components as well as a pair of Rockford Forgate P165 coaxials, would i get sufficient power to all speakers??

this will me more than enough power for both sets of speakers. You'll see if you end up buying this amp that it will come with a birth cert. that will say that it tested around 520 - 525 doing the math that would be around 260x2 @4ohms 130x4@2ohms 97x4@4ohms just make sure you set the gain properly on each set to not over power them and this will give you plenty of clean watts

I push a simular set up of polks fine, front and rear components with a separate amp for a ten inch sub. very happy with this amp

I did some brief reading about how to match amps and speakers, and my understanding is that the amp's power rating should be less than that of the speakers--around half the peak rated wattage. But as well as power you have to make sure the impedance of the speakers matches the output impedance range of the amp. If you're running two 8 ohm speakers in parallel on each channel, that's actually 4 ohms, so check those numbers. We use this Grace BTAR122 in conjunction with two 80 watt Polk Atrium 4 speakers and it sounds fantastic.

I put one of these Kenwood subs in my fiancees' car and it sounds amazing! I would definitely recommend one of those over any Rockford Fosgate any day! I hope this helps you with your purchase. Thank you & God Bless!!! :)

Hi, I purchased this amp for a two channel configuration, and I am very happy with the results; it has much more power and more fidelity than an integrated receiver. I think that maybe you only have to configure your system to provide the same power level to all the speakers; if not, the front speakers will sound louder than the rest. Regards.

i have this amp on all 4 of my polk db6501 and they sound great it will take a little bit of tuning but if you know what your doing it will be easy. my birth sheet also shows that the amp rated 522 watts.

Very loud with little wattage. They don't need but 150watts to each sub. Rockford Fosgate 500 2 channel amp is what I have pushing them. They will rock!!! I don't have them anymore sold car just left them in car. Down sized to 12" now Kenwood 12ps they are even louder without taking up my whole trunk.

The specs for this amp indicate 40 watts of power for each channel....so I believe it would be within your speakers' parameter.

I have pushed two Rockford 500 L Series subs with a 1,000 W Rockford Amp with no problem before, currently have it hooked up to a 500W Rockford and a 500w MTX blue 12" and its pumping like a champ.

Oh heck yeah, without a problem. I'm running a Pyle 3000 Watt amp & their taking it all just fine. I strongly recommend these speakers. I couldn't be happier.

U want to find an amp that has at least 1600 watt rms power handling. When purchasing an amp u want to get one that supplies the rms power required by the speaker. You can get either one amp that is 1600 watts rms or two 800 watt rms amps. If money isnt an issue look into rockford fosgate.you pay for the name. My next choice would be hifonics,quality without the high price.

Not a problem! These speakers can be easily over driven with a clean signal.I had them on a Sony 4 channel x 50 watt rms head unit with no issues as they are a 70 watt rmv speaker. I then added a kenwood 300 watt per channel rmv amp and again, no problems or even any significant distortion. They blow away any coaxial or triax type speakers I have ever heard. ENJOY!!!!

Make sure you have high capacity alternator, 4gauge wire or bigger, and that your subs can be wired to 1ohm. I have mines running 2 alpine type-x 12's at 1ohm fine all day long. Great amp for the price. Best money I've ever spent on an amp.

I am using a pyle PWMA3003T Hybrid amp, this amp supports 8,4,2 OHM. This amp works very well with these speakers, loud, clar, and will not over power speaker.

I'll preface that I'm no pro-audio expert, but based on how much this powers my 1 sub, I think this will be plenty of power for 2 subs, and still leave you 4 channels for the rest of your speakers. I would recommend shooting a call to your local best buy and just ask the geek squad car audio reps...they helped me even though I didn't buy it from them...they are actually the ones who recommended this amp versus one of they sell.

I don't know, that would depend on your personal preferences. I bought mine to replace two 12-inch full-range speakers in a 1950's console stereo cabinet. They are driven by a Pyle PTA2 amp ( only7 watts per channel rms, 20watts per channel peak) and they rock in a small 12'x 15' room. I have one other set of the same Rockford Fosgate speakers in two diy wood cabinets (connected to another Pyle PTA2) and they also have really good volume with no noticeable distortion. If it were me I would see how your set-up works for you and add an amp if you are not happy that. Hope that helps.

Eric, go with the Rockford Fosgate Prime 250x1 mono block amp. It has a very small footprint, very affordable, and these amps, in my opinion, are still one of the best on the market. These amps are always underrated, come with an actual RMS rating tested by the manufacturer, and will be plenty of power to push a 10" sub. It will not disappoint.

Im running 2 p2 12in with this amp. Its ok... i recommend you run at least a 1200 watt amp with those p3s... i have the 1200 watt on 2 p2s in my yukon.... sounds real good!!!
