Unless you can get them for cheap, skip the RF's.

What is your price range for subs and what is that amp rated at?

Do you want to do components or stick with coaxials?

That amp is not very powerful. 110 watts at 4 ohms is pretty bad even for a single subwoofer.

Sell that one and purchase a 1000 watt monoblock and a small 75x2 amp, and then you'll be in business for serious sound. You want two 15's so I bet your looking for loud.

these are the watts on the amp, kinda gibberish to me

117 Watts x 4 + 163 x 2 dynamic power
80 Watts x 4 + 150 Watts x 2 @ 2 ohms
60 Watts x 4 RMS + 107 Watts x 2 RMS@ 4 ohms

thats not gonna run 15's.....get a bigger amp!! rockford p2's should be around 250w RMS so a 500w RMS amp should do the trick.....

this one would work good for them......

Amp for subs = 1000 watts

Amp for components = 75w x 2


Usually components need to be amped to get their full output. Since I don't know of any 4 channel amps that will push out 1000 watts on 2 channels and 75 watts on the other 2, your stuck buying two.

You want components, right? Alpine type R comps are decent, and search ebay for a/d/s, anything in the 200's will be a good, budget minded option.
