I have a friend that has one, he pushed 2-15" punch XLC's RF all day long with no problem. Good sound and nice wattage. You can get them pretty cheap off ebay too.

------------------
Deck: Kenwood Excelon KDC-X911
Kenwood Excelon KDC-CX83 - 10 disc changer
Kenwood KGC-9044 Digital EQ

Amps: Kenwood Excelon KAC-X401M - 600watts RMSx1@2ohms
Kenwood Excelon KAC-X501F - 300watts RMSx2@2ohms or 150watts RMSx4@2ohms

Speakers: Kenwood KFC-6908 6x9's 4-ways
Kenwood Excelon KFC-XR60P 6.5"

Sub: RF Punch HX2 Dual Voice Coil- 300watts RMS per voice coil


If its not a camaro or corvette then what is it really?

dont go 800a4, if you only using 2 subs, get the 800a2...

well, unless in the future you want to have a 4 channel amp, but, it will cost more...

gotta agree with klayburn. If you're only runnung two subs, the 800.2 leaves more options open. Plus, with the money that you save, get a Power amp instead of a Punch.

Unless, that is, you're getting some kinda deal on the 800.4. They're both great amps.

I sell the RF 800a2's and the 800.2's and they are very nice amps but you might want to look into some of the tantrum series Phoenix Gold amps or the newer JL amps. They have a much Higher Damping factor than the Rockfords(JL's Sub amps are >500 instead of RF's >200 rating) and aren't usually too too much more money.
