I bought this amp, so that I could power all my speakers and sub, with one amplifier. I have a toyota tundra standard cab. Even though I do have a decent amount of room behind the seats, I wanted the install to be clean and as compact as possible. Having ONE amp, was what I was aiming for.

This amp is not huge by any means, but it does the job nicely. Like all RF amps, this one comes with a certificate on certified power. Listed as 600 watts rms by 5 channel at 2 ohms on the box, mine is rated at 721 watts rms by 5 channel at 2 ohms of actual power on the certificate.... Which means the sub is getting about 360 watts rms since it is 2 ohms. Half of the power goes to the subwoofer and the other have is spread out among the rear and front lefts and rights. So each output for the speakers is getting about 90 watts rms at 2 ohms. I have infinity speakers, and infinity makes their speakers all 2 ohm independent. So they are getting what they need.

Very good signal to noise ratio and very clear sound. VERY LOUD!!! I have the inside speakers' gains only about 1/3 the way up, as it hurts my ears to have them any higher. I barely have to turn up the HU. The sub is being powered very well and hits hard. I was deciding on this amp or one of the kicker 5 channel amps, but I went with this because of the price, and I knew it would be rated much higher than 600 watts rms, and I was correct... Good Purchase. I highly recommend.

December 7, 2012 Great Amp for the money

I have this amp running all 4 component polk db series speakers and 1 massive (brand name) 12" sub in a ported box. I have a 4 guage power wire, and monster 6 channel RCA's on a Keenwood deck with 4 volt preamp rca outs for front, rear, and sub. With this setup i am only running the amp at half power and without hyp or exageration this amp suprised the heck out of me. It friggen rocks like a multi amp setup. So for the price, you simply can NOT beat this amplifier. For a moderate setup and a great music experience this is the amp for you. And you can always trust Fosgate.

First, Sonic came through fast and all as advertised. The RF R600 works absolutely great. For the power range and price, I really dont think you can do better. Very happy!

I have had multi-amp setups in the past and wanted to try out a multi-channel amp. Based on my preferences I like the multi-channel better. This amp puts out plenty of clean power when tuned right. I would definitely recommend this amp. Sonic had it at a great price and I received my shipment a day early.

I did a lot of research before selecting this amp and am totally satisfied with it. I have owned it now for over 6 months. The certification enclosed with it stated the output was 751 Watts! I use it to drive two Boston Acoustics 6x9s in the front doors, and two Polk 5.5 coaxials in the rear plus two Polk tweeters in the sail panels and two Polk 3.5" speakers in the dash. It also drives a 10" Pioneer sub under the rear seat. The amp is mounted behind the rear seat of my 2011 Tundra DC.

The sound is crystal clear and I have more bass than I need so I usually keep it at 1/4 and rarely more than 1/2 of the full limit.

You can't beat this amp for the money!

I have ran this amp for 12-16 hrs straight and never had a problem out if it. It is pushing 1 12" fosgate P2 sub, 2 boston acoustic 6.5 pro components, and 2 infinity kappas and sounds great. I would definitely buy again.

This is a very nice amp for the money. My amp arrived with a birth sheet of 700 Watts RMS total power. The amp provides lots of clean power and it is very easy to tune or make adjustments. They even include a separate bass control wired remote (Kicker charges you $25 extra for theirs). Overall a solid amp, from a top manufacturer, that features quality construction and ample power.

February 10, 2012 All in one power

Shawn from Montgomery, AL

Looking for power for all of your speakers and don't want to spend tons or have several amps, this amp is the ticket. About 1/3 power is all I can stand in my vehicle. I liked having one amp to drive 4 sets of speakers and one sub. I will probably look at another R600-5 for one of my other cars. One critical thing to mention, you must use 6 RCA connectors, 3 pairs, if you want 5 speaker setup. I used 4 with a y-spliter for sub inputs. There is no switch to combine inputs for using a single RCA. I would include the cost of RCAs in your budget.

I bought this amp for my 2008 dodge ram truck. My first thought was to conceal this under a seat because I wanted a stealth system. It really was alot longer than i first thought, but once I got over the length this was exactly what I wanted. Im using it for my surrounds running an alpine type R system 6.5 and 6x9. overall this thing is sweet, with no heating issues and lots of power.
