so last week (or 2 weeks ago?) i went thru some pretty deep water with no doors. end result - under the seat is NOT a good place for an amp. so now im thinking of putting one up a bit higher. behind the dash under the wheel is what im thinking (thats where the stock amp is, rigth?). But im having trouble fitting my amp there. I got it all buttoned up just to realize that it was rubbing my steering column, and it had to come out. So i went in search of a smaller amp. Found this, the Rockford Fosgate PBR300X1 (hxxp://www.rockfordfosgate.com/products/product_details.asp?item_id=120464). This thing is tiny! but i have my doubts that it will sufficiently push my 10" sub woofer. anyone got any real-world experience with this? or, im open to any other suggestions of either small amps, or new water-safe mounting locations.

 

I have 2 12" inch JL's in my 4dr all the way in the back. I just mounted my amp to my box along with a capacitor. Hope this helps

 

What 10" sub are you trying to drive?

 

My box is not big enough to do this. Plus, i think that will offer little water protection.

Its an Orion. I dont know the line. But i had a pioneer 300W pushing it.

 

Here's where my stuff is, stays dry except when it rains with no windows.

 

Dude, aren't you worried about theft???????

 

haha nope. Its bolted in with tamper proof bolts. And I made a steel frame for the board itself.

 

Not knowing the exact subwoofer makes giving you the correct answer hard. We can only make assumptions. Look over there web sight and give us an idea, if nothing else what one yours looks like.

If you had the CO104S, the amp will push it but will be under powered. If you have the XTR102, they would be a perfect match. All dependent on ohm rating. That little amp will put out 300 watts at 1 ohm, but only 75 at 4 ohms.

 

mine stays dry, i leave the top up over night, but not always the windows, nothin is damaged. i had my subs in it when i had an inch of water in my jeep subs, amp, and cap are all good

 

You will only get 300 watts out of this amp if your sub is a dual voice coil 2 ohm speaker.
