I have a Rockford Fosgate Punch P200-2 brand new still in the box and shrink wrap. Got it as a replacement from the insurance company after my truck got broken into and never re-installed it. Not the most powerful amp for a sub but will do the job well.

Make me an offer if you are interested at all.

What sub do you have? I'm no expert on car audio, but I have learned the hard way that you need to make sure the amp you get and the sub are correctly matched, otherwise, one or the other will be blown in a few years.

Without knowing the RMS range of the sub, it's very difficult to recommend an amp.

that rockford is only like 200 watts though, isnt that a little low for a 12"

Like i said before, im probably 300% wrong because car audio is like someone talking to me in japanese. NO COMPRENDE

I used to use an older model of the rockford amp that I have to power two 12" kicker comp subs and it sounded great. More than enough bass for what I needed. oh yeah, the spec sheet that is supplied with the amp says 277W total RMS.

I had a Diamond Audio M3 12" and it was 300W RMS at 4ohms. The new equivalent is the D3 and I think that's around 300W RMS too. Looking at the specs of the RF, even if you bridge it, you only get 200W which would underpower your sub.

Find out the specs of the sub first.
