  • An incredible amp at such a low price!!!
My old RF Punch 500a2 died and I was unable to repair it. I was nervous about going with their Prime line as opposed to Punch but I had nothing to worry about!! This thing overdelivered!!! I drive an F150 SuperCrew with 2 10” subs under my back seat. It’s louder than my old amp and that’s only with the Punch Bass and again halfway up. You will not regret purchasing this amp. RF is #1 ... show more

  • Perfect for pushing a single Rockford Fosgate P3D4-12!!
Powering a Rockford Fosgate P3D4-12. Paired with a single farad capacitor & a Q Bomb enclosure. Perfect amp for pushing my new set up. The angled connections were a bit of a pain but provided a clean look when complete. Good instructions, great quality, & booming sound. Can’t go wrong with Rockford Fosgate!!! ... show more

  • Amp
Grandson loved this as his Christmas present. Now he’s rocking and rolling in his car but too loud for grandpa.

  • Excellent Amplifier
I took about a year to write this review because I really wanted to get a feel for the product before I said anything about it. I don't have anything negative to say about this amp. I'm not running a competition system by any means but it power my JL 12" sub very very well. With all the adjustment options that it has. The signal sent to the sub is very very clean. The sound itself is very crisp and precise. Theres no distortion whatsoever. The sub that I'm running has an optimal rms of 300 watts, which is right on the sweet spot for this amplifier. As long as it's tuned properly and with a sub that's within it's optimal range, this amplifier is absolutely fantastic. ... show more

  • Entry level…
I have been a Fosgate fan for decades and considered it to be my second favorite. I think I have a change in heart. I run 1, just 1 10” Kicker L7 in its Kicker manufactured ported box. It was powered by an older model Kicker CX mono amp (only because I had it for 6 years) and it dominated in sound! Fast forward to 3 days ago I decided on trying something new from Fosgate and what in the blue hell was I missing?! Granted new amp new sound but this little but heavy guy woke that L7 up!!! I never knew it was asleep! That 10” L7 craves power and this so called entry level 500 watt claiming amp gave it 604 watts! People I have demoed it for could not believe that only 1 10” sub could sound like that!! Well I am going to venture out and add a second L7 just to disturb the peace! I’m sorry but this amp is not entry level! First place for sure!!! ... show more
