4xsomething amp
After more setbacks it is time to amp and rewire my 4 5x7 infinity kappas in my F250 SD CC.
I currently have an Alpine 9815
Will be able to spend $350 on the amp
I was looking at the high end Alpines, R Fos, (can't remember which models)
Which one or other brand/model number would you guys suggest?
What kind and how big of speaker wire?
I might go to the Alpine non-amp deck (7998?) with the oversize screen. Would that make a difference in amp selection?
And I still need to buy 2 10" and amp someday.
Thanks for the advice.

I would go with the R Fos if i were you, although i am pushin subs with my punch power 1500W amp, i think it would push some highs pretty good. Don't know much about what kind of speaker wire to go with ur reg speakers, all i know is subs...hope it helps

thanks for the reply prplayboy
I haven't heard of those amps, just the mainstream stuff
I'm still new at the audio stuff
Is there one you like over the other one?
Do the alpine amps cost more because they are better or for the name?
I also saw the 10a series subs on that site they look sweeet!!!
couple of those in sealed boxes would probably rock the crew cab eh?

The A's are the top of eD's line up. I can't see how but i am told the A's will play lower the the O's. When i play my system you feel the bass more then anything. If your not into competion and whant to save a few dollars go with the O's
The A's play louder the O's If i was going to run a single sub set up I would go with an A.

so in my crew cab do you think I should go two O's or one A?
$$$ isn't a huge issue.
making it sound right is.
mostly rock, some rap, some r&b, mostly loud.
but not listening to DJ majic mike.

don't buy a new rockford amp....or anything rockford for that matter
an alpine mrv f340 would be perfect
if you want good subs try alpine type r's
i work in the circuit city road shop and right now the 12's are 130 bucks 10's are 110 heck of a deal, they get loud and they're real accurate as well.
don't buy fosgate

SS what can you from your expirience tell me that one shouldn't buy anything rockford thats new? Just cause they don't give away all the free power they used to and just cause you can buy them at ciriut city doesn't make them crap.

300ish but you can find deals all over, one of the guys i work with is running two of them and another is running one is his boat....they are killer!
the v power wouldn't be too bad either but its not a v12
the specs on the vpower are 35x4 adjustable crossovers and all for just under 200 bones so no to bad but the other alpine is the way to go
yeah i'm in a moral dilemma of getting rid of the truck, its a toss up between tution money or keep the truck and no beer for the school year

RF is not a company of just one designer/developer. That rumor has been going around for years. What proof do you have that RF is using cheaper parts and shoddy manufacturer processes? Most of the RF amps i have heard of that have blown where user errors. People running them below 2ohms. My X6 is a monster and doesn't get hot at all. It just barley gets warm and I like to crank the bass up.
