10:26 It's not a cross-over, it's a dual 4-ohm voice coil subwoofer. it's already internally wired in series or parreall. by the flip of that (for lack of a better word) switch. it's a convenience feature. that advice from you sound guy just gave you a bunch of irrelevant information. the 8 ohms is just a way for you to wire up more subs to the amp before going below it's recommended minimum impedance load. if you only want 2 subs, switch them to 2 ohms settings and wire them up in parallel for 1 ohms. BD1500 will be a good fit. wire them to 8 ohms, you can parallel 8 of them to achieve 1 ohm. would be a good match for a 5-8k amp at 1ohms.

Thanks Professor. You helped me out alot.🧐

[@johnstarks5323]

@@jaysautoandmore1771 No need for sarcasm, just trying to help you out, saying a series-parallel switch on a sub is an X-over. You're embarrassing yourself on a global level, to those who really know what it is. I could have not said anything and let you continue to put your foot in your mouth.

[@jaysautoandmore1771]

I made a mistake. It does not change the hertz, it changes the ohms. I hope everyone reads this too. When I install them I will comment about my mistake. I will take notes and mention everyones help. Thanks.

[@johnstarks5323]

@@jaysautoandmore1771 I see, you just want to sound like you know what you're talking about. but in reality, you have limited knowledge on the subject. Some of us really know this ish, we just don't make content. BTW I never said that the ohm selector switch on your sub has anything to do with frequency witch is measured in hertz.

[@jaysautoandmore1771]

I said it was the hertz. I was wrong.😊​@@johnstarks5323

Nice subs should be alot of fun listening . I always lile rockford. Back when i was alot younger i had a pair of entry level 4 ohm version they lasted years, then i sold them. I also had mine in a sral box they hit hard an low. Good luck man. Thanks for sharring!

[@undernature2799]

Nice subs man 👍 Much prefer sealed over ported myself.

[@jaysautoandmore1771]

The box was only 50.00. I like sealed too. The bass is stronger on sealed.

[@jaysautoandmore1771]

What size sealed box is right for those subs?

[@WarEagle256]

The subs won't play worth a crap in a sealed enclosure, It's not recommended on those subs.

If u have any blowed amps or subs im a certified amp repair tech and sub builder located in Cincinnati ohio.

[@notsure1872]

Get a MBE box

[@jaysautoandmore1771]

I'll check the whats available🙂

[@502C.r.H]

NEVER would i pay that much for some 700W RMS subs they are just a expensive name these days companies like Sundown, American Bass, and other blow them out the water as far as getting the most bang for your buck plus their Warrenty guidelines aren't as shifty as RF's are

[@jaysautoandmore1771]

Thats true.

[@BrianWaller-qe7gr]

Reason why I stopped buying RF, overpriced for what you get. Back in the day their amps doing 500 rms were over $800, competitors were like half. Now down for sound has amps that do over 5k rms for under $800. Korean boards too.

[@lambertleigh2724]

The Sub is FREE...ur paying for the sticker!!

[@jaysautoandmore1771]

For me it's the respected name of Rockford Fosgate that counts. It means something in the car audio industry. 🤑

Second basket for leads? U mean in between the spiders? The basket is the metal frame that makes the subwoofer.

Thank everyone for schooling me. Now will someone tell me about phase, series,parallel.😮

[@joshholden8561]

@@jaysautoandmore1771 u not ready for that.

[@joshholden8561]

Thats a great box for being tuned at 44 htz inhave same one but extended my slot ports thats behind each sub and made the tunning lower to 34 htz and i pit a double baffle on the front of mine and gorilla glued all inside seams and lined the entrire inside with dyno mat like material and it made a 3 db louder difference buy making the box more dense cause mine would flex with my 2 12 audiopipe quad stacks on 3800 rms this box is not intended for very high wattage since the mdf is rather thin. But all in all its a decent box in size i think the port is entirely too big for thise fosgates and they will most likely bottom out easy if u open ur car door while playing the music loud and sometimes even rolling 1 windown down all the way ur subs might bittom out I had like 7!sets of subs in that box to test and the skar vxf did well power acoustic mofo did well subs that did not well at all was skar evl ct sounds tropo kicker cvx also thr wlldse hcy did really good so did the sundown u and sundown sa also did very well

[@jaysautoandmore1771]

I went to ebay and got a fosgate power 700. I wanted the 800 a2 I got out bidded. Post coming soon.

[@joshholden8561]

@@jaysautoandmore1771 that's very low power each sub might see 200 RMS after impedance rise. I believe 3k RMS is recommended for these combined

[@Chuck_Sanders]

​@@joshholden8561they're around 700 rms each, and they're not very under rated. They don't have the motor to support much more than 900 watts in all honesty. They're geared towards sound quality.. comparable to a W6. They are good subs though, just pricey.

[@jimjones3287]

If you're gonna spend all that money on those subs at least get a good box. Qbombs are tuned too high.

[@isaiahparker7433]

A nice custom box tuned low and some sound deadening and he’ll be ready to go

[@sergioh2015]

Man I had this problem with my P3s my old box was tuned to 54hz 🤯 got me a generic 39hz box from an audio store and it sounds so much better.

[@isaiahparker7433]

@@sergioh2015 you’ll probably like it even better if you get a custom box for it around 32 33hz

[@joshholden8561]

U can modify tunning on prefab boxes like on a slot port make the slot longer or a round port make the port longer for lower running and make sure ur port has enough surface area

[@sergioh2015]

@isaiahparker7433 oh I'm sure, heard a zkar audio system some kid had with a 32hz box and it sounded amazing, however. I like my trunk space. Lol I found that putting the box all the way to the back of my trunk makes my lows even richer. Having my port facing forwards it sounds almost like it my trunk is working as a 6th order. Lol idk if that makes sense. But the way the hole to my trunk is from the cabin, the bottom area is like 3-4 inches deep, so I want to make some kind of makeshift port that just let's airflow better because behind the seats right below the rear deck it's nothing but flat area, so I know that affects airflow out of my trunk.

[@timothy5977]

So does this replace the T1 or is the T0 below the T1??

[@mr.animated6288]

It’s below the t1 and it’s just as old and discontinued.

[@jaysautoandmore1771]

T1 is better

[@jaysautoandmore1771]

T0 then T1 T1 is better

The question is where did you find T 0s? They had discontinued the 0s back when I was running Rockford! I purchased 1 on clearance and couldn't find another one online nowhere back then!

[@jaysautoandmore1771]

They have them at Big Daddys stereo. T0 T1 T2 and T3

I dont understand the holes in the cone, wouldn't that effect the sound quality and pressure for the bass effect?

[@PlatinumEagleStudios]

No it does not. Holes are for cooling the voice coil. Many speakers have holes in the cone. Common knowledge

[@gxiong3917]

LOL... Ya would think that EVERYBODY knew that "ROCKFORD FOSGATE" is one of the TOP BIG PLAYERS in the aftermarket CAR AUDIO game... A Buddy of mine wanted to put some bump in his ride, so I said that I would give him one of my amps. (RF PUNCH) He just tossed it in his trunk and never even bothered hooking it up. So I got it back, and left him alone to his pipe dreams, and distorted blown half azz factory speakers... Basically he thought that since I had given it to him for FREE that it's gotta be just some NO NAME CHEAPO JUNK... SMH, WELL, I tried, some people are just stuck on stupid and can't be helped. A sad truth, but It's just the way it is... But he'll be alright because his Momma says that happiness comes from magic rays of sunshine that come down when ya feelin' blue... 🤽‍♂️
