Can somebody help me pick out an AMP?

[CDWells]

OK, so I want to install all Rockford Fosgate Punch series in my car

I'm working on saving the money to get everything and have it installed

I'm gonna get the Rockford Fosgate P2D4-12 and I need to know what size amp I would need

Only one sub it's a 12" punch series P2, dual 4-Ohm, 400-Watt RMS and 800-Watt Max

Can somebody help me out a little bit?

I would like to stick with the punch series but I can go with anything Rockford Fosgate if need be

anything that puts out ~~400rms @ 2ohms will do just fine

here you go since you're looking for punch series.

they get really hot, you better have good ventilation

I don't want something thats gonna be way over powering either

why would I need a 1000W amp or an 800W amp if im only gonna be using 400W?

I guess I'm asking your opinion on brand and product for a 400W 2 or 4-Ohm Amp

I'm gonna keep the sub and speakers though

Head room is always nice... Just learn to set the gain right...

More power because once you get that sub in and hooked up youll probably want something louder.

x2 1000rms at 1 ohm but you will def wnt a better sub down the road like the mb quart i posted, so when you do upgrade you wont have to buy a new amp //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif. those amps will put out 1000rms at 1 ohm but still give you the 500rms at 2 ohm
