I have purchased a punch stage 3 in a rockford punch ported box, but wante more bass. I am trying to make 1 12" sub sound like 2. I have an extended cab truck and Had to take both 12" subs out for family reasons. I have a 1000w amp. I have a chance to exchang the punch stage 3 and the box for a 12" rockford fosgate power stage 1? can anyone tell me which one would be better. I want hard hitting bass but clear as can be.

If they are exchanging the punch stage 3 with a new power stage 1 for free then of-course its a better deal..Power stage 1 is a more advanced piece of equipment..
Put it in a 1.3 cubic ft of sealed enclosure if you want clear hitting bass..
or use a 1.3cubic ft of ported enclosure tuned to 30 or 35 hz if you want loud bass..
since u got a 1000wrms amp it would be too much power for the sub.. be carefull u dont unload the woofer...
one more thing your aim of making 1 sound like 2 is extremely difficult and u need to expert enclosure building techniques.
again.. giving 1000wrms to a 600wrms capable sub is gonna squash your sub in no time..

The Power series 2 can handle 1000 watts RMS but the price is crazy high... $700.00 retail. Am sure some e-tailer is willing to cut price to under $400.00 if you shop it hard. The Power Stage 1 is 600 RMS. The Power Stage 2 is 1000 RMS. Both come in 4+4 or 2+2 DVC's.
Say more about that amp you have here. Is it 1,2 or 4 channel and ow low an ohmic load can it handle? Make & model # is good or Mfg link to specs is even better.
Tks,

2a. Resonance Engineering site. Seems to be down at the moment. This sub is more for high SPL applications, but can deliver very good SLQ performance, depending on the enclosure used.

I am all out of money here and I can get the power stage 1 sub. My amp is 4 ohms is 500 watts, and 2 ohm is 800 watts, and 1 ohm is 1016 watts. This amp is CEA compliant, but when I try to go less than 4 ohms yea does this thing hog the power, I can drop my voltage down to 12 volt really fast., Im still checking all the grounds on the whole truck I have hear that gm has some bad grounds in some trucks
