Rockford P3002 Amp and P210S4 Sub Setup Advice - Click HERE for Original Thread

woovic
I have a Rockford Fosgate P3002 2-channel amplifier and 2 Rockford Fosgate P210S4 subwoofers. I think I have 3 options for hooking them up:

1) Bridge amp to mono, run subs in series.
2) Bridge amp to mono, run subs in parallel.
3) Hook up each sub to each channel.

Which way should I set it up?

P3002:
75 W x 2 @ 4 Ohms RMS
150 W x 2 @ 2 Ohms RMS
300 W x 1 @ 4 Ohms Bridged RMS

P210S4 (2x)
Impedance 4-Ohm
Power Handling 200 RMS/400 Max

I'm running my P3002 bridged to mono with 2 polk 10" subs in parallel. With your subs this set up would probably sound the best.

That amp is not 2 ohm stable and hence shouldnt be run that way. I mean it will work but it will be more subject to overheating and will shorten the life span of the equipment. Your gear is not really matched up very well as you should have been sold a mono block amp or a 2 channel that is 2 ohm MONO stable. I would wire this up in stereo in your case to make sure the equipment is not put at risk, but your output will be far from optimal.

Best bet would be to get a Rockford 3001 if your strapped for cash. :thumbup:
