Stay away from cheap off brand ampsI’ve had a boss 1150 amp for a couple years hooked up to the 2 12” terminator MTX’s. It’s done it’s job honestly as far as playing music, but it sucked the power out of my car and would overheat easily if turned up. I spent well over in 800-1000$ trying to fix my issues. Competition battery to fix dimming issues, the big three done with 0 gauge wire, high output alternator. Nothing ever fixed the power issue until I got this. A quality amp that runs cool pushing the power it advertises, even more actually. The old one would burn my hand touching it too long, this one is cool as a cucumber. A quality amp, and quality wires (OXEGYN FREE COPPER, don’t fall for cca, it’s a waste of money) will solve your issues. Wish y’all better luck than I had, and thank you Rockford.

Solid AmpI hooked up this amp to a single 12 inch RF subwoofer in a vented box. It sound solid and I enjoy the remote volume for the amp which gives me great flexibility with a variety of music. Great buy!

I’ve done 50+ installs both professionally and for fun. I enjoy it and I also like doing …SETUP:My setup for this install included this Rockford Fosgate R500X1D (620w RMS) amp and a single 10″ Alpine Type R (4ohm) sub installed in an Atrend 10″ (10SAL) box with .71 cubic feet of internal volume – just within spec (.50 – .75 cf) and light (relatively speaking). I was able to get an 8 gauge Kicker amp kit with interconnects (RCA cables) and got a PAC LOC (line output converter) so I could retain my factory 6.2″ touch screen. I put Alpine SPS 610c (6.5″ Type S speakers and tweeters) up front and Alpine 610 (6.5″ speakers) in the rear doors. This was all installed in my ’16 WRX.WHY THESE COMPONENTS?I didn’t want to add a lot of weight and I wanted the cleanest bass I could get for the money. I’ve done 50+ installs both professionally and for fun. I enjoy it and I also like doing my own research and finding out what I think will be best instead of listening to “experts”. It’s more of a challenge for me. Will I add another amp for the component speakers? Yes, but later. For now I have mods to focus on and just need a decent sound. The factory speakers from Subaru were complete garbage but the head unit is good.AMP REVIEW:This amp is strong and hasn’t shut down or overheated once. My old JL Slash amp was great but was sold with an old car and my Alpine pdx (1,000w amp) was sold last year before I bought my new car. I would say this amp stacks up very well to the PDX. It’s surprisingly small but has plenty of power. I have the gain at 3. I have the bass boost at 1 and the bass is tight and fairly clean. Is it as responsive as the JL amps with JL subs? No. But does it hit hard and sound clean? Yes. Is it worth the money? Absolutely. It flat out performs and for under $130, it’s a great deal. The reviews here say it all. This is a great amp.CONCLUSION:My total investment into this system was just $380 and the system sounds great. I listen to Trap mostly – lots of bass, lots of drops and lots of fast-paced hits – this amp handles all of that pretty well.I highly recommend this amp if you want a good sound for a great price. It really is the best one for the money in my opinion. If you are new to amps, look no further, this is the one you want. Rockford Fosgate has been around for a long time in this game and they have always made quality amps – this is no exception and may be the best “budget” amp ever made.

Good little amp with very bright lights!Before I give you my review, if you’re not an experienced installer, do me a favor and educate yourself about amplier gains. It’s not a volume control. Just because Joe Schmoe says he has his gain turned this way or that way, it should mean nothing to you because you don’t have the same system. You don’t know how many volts are being sent. There are just too many variables that you don’t know. The gain is also not a bass boost. The remote knob on this prime is for gain, yet on punch amps the remote knob adjusts bass at 45Hz. This amp still has an adjustment for boost, but the adjustment is only on the amp.Ok, now on to the review. Nice and compact. At 4ohms its not running hot at all. As soon as I replace my sub I will update and let you know how it is at 2ohms. Oh, the birthsheet says 646 watts, but don’t let other reviewers tell you that’s at 4ohms. Its not. That’s rated at 2ohms.Now, the lights. Both on the amp and the remote knob- way too bright. Love the blue color, but at night, ouch. You can’t make any adjusments on the amp unless you cover the light because its blinding. On the plus side, it lights up the entire backseat floorboard. The remote knob produces so much glare on my side windows, I can’t see out of them at night. This can all be fixed with either black tape or a sharpie marker so don’t let that stop you from buying this amp.Final thoughts on this amp: for the price, you can’t go wrong with this CEA compliant amp. It puts out rated power. Don’t be suckered into amps boasting outrages max power. Educate yourself. I know I sound like I’m ranting, but I’ve been reading reviews on Subs and it blows my mind seeing all these reviews about “I have my gains on max” or my (insert name)amp is feeding this single sub 1500 watts. If half these claims were true, no one in America could sleep because every 5 mins there would another person driving by and rattling home windows all night long.
