Amps - any installers in palmy?

[inzid]

Hi guys,

I have a rockford fosgate P1 Punch Sub and im looking at getting two new amps under the seats. 1 to power the speakers and the other to power the amp.

I have another amp at the moment which i believe is the same as this amp (will check tomorrow)

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Earthquake-Sound-T2000WD-1-2000W-Digital-Monoblock-TNT-Car-Amplifier-Amp-/360881893672

I was going to use the earthquake amp to power my speakers (infinity speakers) but i dont know if I should just sell it and buy a new one to do this job.

My questions are

1. Should I buy two new amps - 1. for speakers and the other for sub?

2. Should I buy one new amp and keep the earthquake amp and use the earthquake to power speakers - new amp to power the sub

3. If option 2 is the best idea what amp should I get?

Also is there anyone who can do a tidy job on installs here? Dont mind paying I just dont want to pay a huge amount of money at actual installer shops.

Thanks

Just got a prime amp for my P2 and its a perfect fit for under the front seat so probably a good one to look into. Also having the remote boost level adjuster is way more beneficial than i would have guessed

That amp is a Mono amp, so it\'s not designed to run speakers off. That is designed to run subwoofers.

Is your sub Single or Dual Voice Coil? Are the Voice Coil (s) 2 or 4ohms? These are important questions when looking at amps and power ratings.

That amp would work just fine, if your sub is either an SVC 2- or 4-ohm, or a DVC 4-ohm, but not so good if it\'s a DVC 2-ohm, as it\'s not rated for a 1-ohm load.

If that amp would work, then I\'d suggest keeping that for your sub and getting a smaller 2-channel amp for your front stage.

I could install it quite easily, but it would take pretty much a whole day, and I\'m in Wellington.

to be honest I dont know what my sub is. Is there anyway to find out?

I believe it could be this as I bought it from Triple SSS and this is the only P1 sub I can find

Also Scoobydoo you say the amp would work fine what one are you talking about? the prime amp? or my earthquake?

The problem im having now is since i got it installed (the sub and amp) it keeps turning off once the cars off. The guy at Triple SSS (Palmy) said it doesnt have enough power but it worked perfect in my old car so i dont know who to believe.

I wouldnt care if I had to come to Welly. I wouldnt mind keeping in contact with you Scoobydoo as Im heading down that way soon so I could save up - Purchase what you think would make the car and sounds sound amazing and then we could work on it for a day (if thats fine with you)

Obviously willing to take any other advice or any installers are the Palmy area.
