If I have the Rockford Fosgate Prime 1,200 Watt class D amp, can I hook up 2 p3d2 for a 1200 watt load? I saw someone on here said that was too much?

Yes its right on the rms level them speakers are 600 rms and u got 2 of them always keep the rms on speakers lil bit lower are you'll burn the coils up..

You need to dual voice coil 4 ohm with that amp. You can only drive as low as 2 ohms stable with that sub set if you try for 1 ohm you will end up with a 1/2 ohm load. And the amp is not rated for that

If u have 2 subs DVC 4 ohm each. Hook them up into 1 ohm parallel connections and you're all set! have fun!

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.

i am going to to give you my onest opinon about this amp i ran it on two 12s inch rockford fosgates wired down to 4 ohms bridged and it did pretty good for a $60 amp made by pyramid.ok if you decide to use 15s i would sugest you go with the four ch model the pb618 that way you can run it bridged a 15 on the front ch and a 15 on the rear ch that should keep it from over heating and to get the most out of this amp get the xover model no CR73 G and it will work those 15s pretty good but for the 15s i would go ahead and get the pyramid pb 3818 that will get the job done and its only $80 i have two pb 3818 strapped to two 15 pw1586 x and i be setting off alarms 100 feet away check out some of my vidios on you tube the set up is 90% pyramid my ch is masterblaster735 check it out so far i have got noting but thumbs up i hope this help you make the right decision

I have 2 of these running on a Pioneer 1000.1 D class amp. They may be able to handle more but you don't want to over power them and burn up the voice coil. I am a big Pioneer fan but there are other more affordable amps to pick from.

I had this amp bridged into two 10's rockford fosgate and it kicked! 1 10inch isn't gonna kick as hard. U might want to look at your amp settings and make sure it set for low frequency

Those can be wired to this amp and the T1000 as a 1 ohm or 4 ohm load. AT 4OHM the t1000 is rated at 700 rms vs The Prime R1200 at 400 rms. BUT... they put out the same dynamic power at 1OHM. My conculsion is Buy the Prime and wire it to 1ohm... use the rockford wiring wizard http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/Support/rftech.aspx#wiringwizard .... that should save you 300 dollars and get you the same RMS Power, unless you want the looks and prestige of owning a POWER branded amp.

It's rated at 100 rms at 4 ohms. And yes it will run both sets real good. Unless you are going into a Sound Off contest, you won't be using the full 100 watts anyway. I'm using this amp to power a set of 4 inch Infinity kappas 80rms front, and 4x7 boston acoustics 50rms rear. Pioneer AVHX8500BHS head unit powering Infinity kappas tweeters 100rms in the doors. Pioneer GM D9601 600rms pushing two 10 inch Kicker L7 Solobarics. To help with power I also have a 2 farad Rockford Fosgate cap. Volume at 12 is already decent loud. At 16 is where i would be showing off. Anything louder for a long period of time will damage hearing. Also get a quality wiring kit, I used a combo of Rockford Fosgate and Monster cable, it will help and what you pay for is what you get. Unless it's too overpriced. Shop around.

I would not recommend this amp. I was powering 2 12 inch digital design subs. It over heated all the time, would randomly shut off and blew on my with only using it for about 3 months and it was not bridged I would prefer a rockford amp they are a little bit more but worth the money

Amp specs say, 300 watts RMS x 2 bridged at 4 ohms (250 watts RMS x 2 bridged at 2 ohms. Now that's by two channel bridged, not by one. So that's telling me that in bridge mode the amp is not split to run say 4 full range speakers and 1 sub bridged. Sorry, I have to say no. I have seen A/B amps split to run what you want to do, but its been years. Not sure if class D amps are made to do so without being a 5 channel amp or damaging them or tripping into protection mode. You would be better off getting a 5 channel amp or just running a second amp for subwoofers. Sorry, I have to say no can do with this 4 channel.

Yes I have 2 othem pushing 2 12" Rockford's P3 @ 2ohmI have on idea why everyone wouldn't do this. My entire system is 2ohm.Hope this helps.

That amp would be pushing the max RMS power for 2 subs running at 2 ohms overall.... (That amp is showing 1,200 RMS watts at 2 ohms. Each SA-12 is rated for up to 600 Watts RMS.) I run Hifonics Amps in my cars and am quite pleased. Honestly, unless you want to be heard from a mile away, you don't need two of these subs.... one is PLENTY..... That being said, once upon a time 1 had 2 JL 12" W0 subs plus 2 8" Rockford Fosgate DVC subs in a Jeep Grand Cherokee.... yes, overall the 4 subs were louder, but this is damn near close to the same loudness as those 4 were....

I'm running a 1000w Kenwood mono d series amp and it's doing a great job and sounds great. So I'd say 1000w to 1200w is the best safe route to go since it's only has a 700w RMS if your going for two though I'd say a 2000w would push them nicely

This amp had over double the power my Rockford fosgate p1 12" subwoofer needed! And I still keep my bass knob on minimum boost and it still SLAMS! So I would say it would push 2 subs no problem at all as long as they aren't extreme high wattage subs.. Awesome amp!! Would highly recommend and would for sure purchase again!!

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.

Since most amps run at 80% efficiency it will still be a little strong for the sub. But all you have to do is turn down the power going to it a little and it will work fine together. And th p2 to me can handle a bit more power than they rate it at to.

Your amp needs to be phantom power operable. Most P.A. Systems will have a phantom power switch to power the preamp. It's not so bad putting the 9v, you just have to unscrew the backplate and hook a battery in.
