    Hi guys,

    Normally I would recommend Rockford Fosgate for SPL setups, but I wonder if this Power-series amp is also a good amp for SQ setup?

    I'm considering this as a solution to an impedance incompatibility with my current all-DLS setup. Di ko sana ipagpapalit yung DLS 4-channel amp ko, ang ganda tumunog, kaso protect nang protect dahil nga di kaya yung bridged 2 ohms (bale 1 ohm load equivalent kasi). Yung DLS 3-channel amp pwede sana kaso walang mahanap yung installer na stock nito. Very accommodating nga sya, papalitan nya yung unit ko ng compatible para di magka-trouble sa electricals.

    Pwede din sanang additional amp, kaso lang it adds another load to the system, baka di kayanin ng alternator ko (Lancer EX yung car).

    This is why I'm considering switching to a Rockford T400-4, which is stable at 2-ohms bridged. Mukha namang high-end na RF na ito, so guys, ok din bang pang-SQ ito?

    Thanks.

    Sa akin okay lang na pang SQ set up iyan at subok na rin ang amp na iyan karamihan gamit ng oldschool brand . Itong model na Amp magandang gamitin para sa seperate speaker mo .

    Eto yung pinagbabalakan kong unit, kaso mukhang mas maganda din build quality nung DLS kong existing. Para tuloy gusto kong maghintay na lang magkaroon ng stock nung DLS 3ch amp yung installer. Hindi naman daw masisira yung DLS 4ch ko, wag lang lalakasan masyado habang wala pa yung replacement.

    ^ Naku po, sa lagay na yun hindi pa sub yung dina-drive nung RF? O baka naman may problema yung connections?

    Mas malala pa yung case ng friend mo pala kesa sa akin. Yung sa akin kasi talagang impedance mismatch lang. Ni hindi umiinit yung amp, nase-sense lang siguro talaga nung amp yung biglang bagsak ng impedance kapag low bass na. Napansin ko nangyayari lang ito below 50Hz.

    Why not just change subs from dual 4 ohms to dual 2 ohms. So pag series concection you get a bridged 4 ohm load. Sakto sa amp mo. O kaya upgrade ka sa DLS A4 kaya nito ang 2 ohm bridged load. Ganda tumunog pero mahal.

    Grabe namang mahal nung A4 sir, hehe. Parang nasa 40K+ ata.

    As for changing subs, I also considered that. However, it seems the DLS distro has decided to trim down their product line locally, so wala nang masyadong DLS subs na pwede ipalit sa RW12 ko, unless I go for those Ultimate series subs that cost 3x as much, or downgrade which is no good. Btw, yung existing sub ko single 2-ohm sya, hindi dual 4 ohms, kaya walang flexibility sa connections. DLS din ang gusto kong ipalit if ever magpalit man ng subs, para matched lahat ng speakers, hehe.
