Rockford Fosgate

Im kind of new to the "car scene" i suppose you could call it , so i am looking for all the advice and knowledge i can about my car. I was looking at 2 12" rockford fosgate subs to slap in the the back w/ a 1200w sub. Is this a wise decision? i drive a 2001 gxe sentra , if that is of any consequence. If you advise against this , could you give me some advice? thnx for any help given.

Im guessing you mean with a 1200 watt amp...you have to give more detail then that...tell us what the subs are, how much watts they handle RMS and peak, and ohms, then the amps wattage and ohms and everything like that, ur question is too genereal to answer..we need specs.

The lower level rockfords (HE and HE2) have a good amount of sound quality. I have one 10 in my car and i think it sounds great

Sound quality has to be based off of some kind of reference. If you've never heard good SQ then you will never know what your current setup is lacking. I thought my first sub setup sounded good when I had it....boy was I wrong, it was probably the worst sounding thing on the road. At the time RF and Sony subs sounded good as well, then I got the sub I have now. I went into Best Buy the other day and walked into their audio section, some kids were playing a rock song with a decently quick bass drum on a set of RF 12's (didn't see what model). They were drooling over them, and I couldn't help but laugh at how bad they sounded, blurring beats together right and left, not punchy at all, just kind of a droning bass line with little peaks where the "beats" were supposed to be.

I guess sound quality is one of those things where ignorance is bliss. Not saying that you're ignorant or anything, just that you're probably at the stage I was at a couple years ago when I had my JL w0's.

For kicker would be ported...they are boomy subs and do their best in a ported box with at least 2 Cubic Feet of room per chamber.
