Re: HELP!!!


There is nothing wrong with the rockfords, its just there is better out there for around the same price. Also the new rockfords have been having problems.

Just to tell you, I have had personal experience with ikesound and it went flawless, so I wouldnt worry with them.

As for wiring the subs, its easy. Once you decide on the setup, I can give you step by step instructions on how to wire it all up.

Dont worry man, its nothing hard. emoticon

Re: HELP!!!


The new RFs have been having problems IMO.


RF has lost a lot of qaulity the past two years.

With that set-up wire the voice coils in parallel then to each amp.

See www.crutchfieldadvisor.com and look around for their charts.

Or go to www.jlaudio.com then tutorials then look for the wiring one.

I have only good things to say about ike sound.Friendly people, ship fast, product is good and the serial numbers were in tact.

And it's through them but I beleive they do it through the manufacturer.So basically they are the middle man.

Re: HELP!!!


I dont mean to sound rude but that is hella tacky. Are you dead set on going with rockford? If not there are some really nice subs on there for very cheap, ill be happy to show you them.

Also, are you going to be building you own box?

Happy Thanksgiving to you too. emoticon

Re: HELP!!!


Here are some subs that would be nice: http://www.ikesound.com/product-product_id/2007

As for an amp, you would want an amp that does around 700 watts at either 2 or 8 ohms. Something like this would work: http://www.ikesound.com/product-product_id/2407

That rockford amp should be underrated and give you at least 700 at 2 ohms.

Then just get puffhead to design you a nice sealed or ported box, buy the wires and your set. emoticon

Re: HELP!!!


Not to be rude also (just trying to help) but that is an overpriced POS lol.


From my experiences so far, the RF stuff doesn't have any good SQ......and they have less output over previous models.

That box is only made of 5/8"MDF and plastic....I wouldn't trust it.I HAVE installed those same subs (in that box) and it was weak.The sucker that bought it paid the $400 for it.

The SQ was horrible, and the SPL was lacking....it was sad to see any RF product sound that bad.

Rockford fosgate is not top of the line, they might have been back when they had the bbq amps but that's about it.They have really lost qaulity, I removed the RF forum here because I do not like their products enough to keep that section.


Now onto the problems with the box, at high volumes it has port noise in a major way.I found it had a couple little leaks as well.I don't like the fact that it is made of 5/8" MDF

I will design you a box for whatever subs you decide on for free.
