2 MM10's with a 1000.2 RF Sub

[Devin]

Does anyone know if a 1000.2 RockFord Fosgate amp would be the right amp to power two Polk Audio MM10's ??? The sub would be 500 W X 2 @ 2 Ohms RMS @ 1% THD and i believe everyone knows the specs on the MM10's... And if not what would be the perfect amp for the job??? I need help deperately... Thanks again.

Devin,
This combination will work great together. Leave the "punch bass" out of the circuit to prevent excessive cone displacement at 40 Hertz. If this is set too high, then this can stress any woofer's suspension and may cause it to fail. Set the low pass crossover to 80 Hertz and break in the woofer for 40 hours before playing the system at higher volume levels. If you have any questions,
call us at 800-377-7655 between the hours of 9 AM to 6 PM Eastern time Monday through Friday.

Thanks,
Kim

maybe its a typo or maybe i'm in error...

if you've got a rockford 1000.2 that is 500 x 2 at 2 ohms... then how is he going to get 500 to each momo sub.. the momo's are 4 ohm subs. so that's more like 275 - 300 x 2 at 4 ohms ??

if its 500 x 2 at 4 ohms, then ya that's a perfect amp.

the other rockford that personally i like better is the D block... the bd1000.1 (or is it bda1000.1?) that thing comes outa the box 11 of 12 hundred watts and is 2 ohm stable so you'll snag a good 5-600 per sub.

So should i get the RF 1000BD or the RF 1000.2??? I thought the Momo subs where 2 ohm stable... not 4... ANd so if its the 1000BD then it will push 4 ohms at 500 watts or what?? Please help me make my system good... Thanks again!!!

Also heres another idea... since i already have a RockFord 500.2 amp should i just get another 500.2 Amp since it would be 4 Ohms Stable at 500 watts and just hook each invidually up? and then get a 3rd amp with 4 channels for the mids and highs?? Thanks again.

I always prefer the sound of an amplifier driving a 4 Ohm load.
The bass will have better pitch, detail, and extension. Plus it won't stress the output stage of the amplifier ( it's a current and heat thing ) as hard as a 2 Ohm load and the damping factor will remain high. When driving a 2 Ohm load this figure is cut in half and the amplifier has a more difficult time controlling excessive cone movement after the signal has stopped. The best way to describe the "sonic signature"
of a amp driving a 2 Ohm load is that it takes on a "hard sounding
character". It produces a very mono tone bass response.
I would definitely use 2 amp if you can.

Happy Installing!!

Get the MTX 500 d-block it runs around 459.00 but thats the perfect amp for 2 polk momo 10's, at least thats what i was running, by the way did you recieve the new mm10, then NON defected one.....email me at patrickdawg_03@yahoo.com , i am now running 2 12" Alpine Type-R's until the new mm10's are out, i been waiting for over 3 monthes bullshit personally:supermad:
