Hello guys, I recently bought two new amps for my system to replace my old ones.

I got the Soundstream Lil Wonders. The LW 1.800 Mono block and the LW 4.500 four channel.

Well after going into my system alot more, I have realized the subs that I have currently run at 8ohms. I have two Rockford Fosgate RFR 1812 subs.

Now to my understanding my subs will be underpowered alot correct? I am thinking of selling these subs and going for the Soundstream 10" T5-10 subwoofer.

Below are some pictures for you understanding.

My new monoblock amp...Soundtream LW1.800

My current subs...2x Rockford Fosgate RFR 1812

I am thinking of selling both my Rockford Fosgate subs and getting this:

Would appreciate anyones help and maybe some suggestions. Should I keep my RF's? Should I get a different sub to the one I mentioned? Anything to help me out for the best.

Thanks guys!

Got a Multimeter? :thumbsup:

Look's like the fosgates are dual voice coil by the double ohm listing, should be able to wire them down to 2ohm and get the output you're after from the amp.

Check out the wiring calculators if you're unsure.

Thanks for the reply.

You mean where it says "Nominal Independance: 4 Ohm / 8 Ohm" correct?

I think that means that the "4 Ohm" is for the RFR-1412 and the "8 Ohm" is for the RFR-1812.

That link looks pretty helpful...but I can honestly say I am confused just looking at it :happy:

    • Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...
    • Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.
    • Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents
    • I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
