Im going to pick up 2 Rockford Fosgate 1000rms each 10'' subs and was wondering if anybody has had them before and how they liked them.

 

i use to run HX2 15's in my old stereo van..... i had 4 of them and 4 BD1000 rockford amps..... i was in the low 160Db range.... they were nice.... took a beatin perty well.....

 

How was the sound quality? probably not the best since they were 15s but how were they compared to other 15s?

 

they were badass compaired to any other 15 i had had up to that time.... remember this was right before they were released to the public..... with the right crossover and headunit they were awesome..... just make sure you have a good clean amp, a good clean signal going to the amp and all will sound good..... rember you can never have too much clean power.... you can always turn the gains down.... i'd rather have a clean 2000 watts on a 500 watt sub than 1000 dirty distorted watts on a 500 watt sub.... the distorted signal will accually tear up a voicecoil up quicker than clean power..... clean power all you have to keep an eye on it the thermal energy that is being absorbed by the subs..... distorted will build more heat than clean..... if you are going to buy a nice sub please buy a nice amp and headunit...... and i always give more props to someone who had nice clean bass than to someone who has loud distorted bass.....

 

i have some really nice stockers.... and i think 2 are blown.. i think it need some new speakers

 

Ive got a 1200RMS 650$ eclipse amp and a Really nice Alpine headunit with 4v preouts and a set of 50 dollar RCAs so Im hoping that will be clean enough . Im going to pick them up today but wont be able to play with them till I get my new truck in acouple weeks.

 

cool.... have fun with them and be responsible as i'm partially deaf in one ear.... it sucks going to bed at night and hearing stuff when it is dead silent..... it's so bad i have to have the radio or tv on to be able to go to sleep..... you may think it's cool to have a loud stereo.... and it is.... there is just a time and a place for it..... and it'll catch up with you in a couple of few years..... it's been 7 years since i had mine together and my hearing is no better now than then...... remember that hearing won't repair itself.....

 

Yeah I hear ya there Im really careful with my hearing but loud music I cant live without, by no means am I going as loud as you were.

I just picked up the 10s and man are they cool little beefcakes, Hopefully Ill have enough time to slap a box together so I can play with them till I get my 12v
