Question for the Stereoheads
Working with a good local audio shop, but still have some questions for those on here with experience. I currently have 2 Rev 10's and 6 in boat Kicker 6.5". They are underpowered from factory. So this is what changes I want to make and would like feedback.
Keep 6 Kicker 6.5's
Add 2 Rev 10's for a total of 4.
Add Fosgate P2D4-12 Sub in ported and Rhino lined custom box.
Add Fosgate Punch 1000x2 for 4 Rev 10's
Add Fosgate Punch 1000x5 for 6.5's and Sub
Add Fosgate Sub Knob Control
I am not asking for pricing feedback. I really want feedback if amps listed are adequate for speakers listed. Audio shop says yes. I still want feedback before pulling the trigger.

And to KG's post about needing 3 amps. As noted already, the 1000.5 will deliver up to 500W rms to the correct woofer. There is no audible difference between 500 and 600 watt rms.
Not sure where you came up with 210W? Is he running 4 REV 10’s? The XM30.2 delivers 300W rms x 2 @ 4ohms which is conservative. Each exile amp is bench tested individually and comes with a certification stating the amps true output; which is always higher than their advertised output. If I missed that he is running 4 Rev10’s then you’re correct. In addition, I’d recommend he swap 2 of the REV 10’s out for a pair of icons. It’ll sound a hell of a lot better while surfing.
I guarantee the true output of any Fosgate amp is no more 75-80% of what they advertise. If you run that thing for any length of time close to max output; It will clip and over heat.
The point of running three amps is efficiency, power output consistency and heat reduction. In addition, you’ll get better tunability (if that’s a word)
I’ve got no stake in this horse race. I was providing an educated opinion on how I would build this system. At the end of the day the guy sitting in the captains chair is what’s important. My opinion is just that; my opinion.
If the goal is bragging rights: “I’ve got 1000W Amp!” Then that’s the way to go. If the goal is a great sounding system that will last a very long time and can be easily adapted to future expansion or modifications; then the 3 amp system is the way to go.
I just want the individual who asked for our input to be happy with final build.
