This is a pretty sweet amp. It works great with my 12in Orion sub, lacks no power. The best thing is the remote power adjuster.

Review written by Ray from Washington, DC

The Rockford Fosgate R500-1 amplifier delivers an awesome, yet not too grimey sound. For a pure quality sound with the right amount of kick, pick up the Fosgate R500-1.

Great Amp Lots Of Power Pushes My 2 12's Easy. Love The Power Great Price Also

Review written by Alex from Saratoga Springs, UT

Definitely the way to go if you're looking for something inexpensive to stick in the back of your car! This thing pushes my Rockford P3D412 12" like no other, I'm honestly afraid that it's going to shake my rear view mirror off my windshield! (Again) The only complaint I have about it is that after 2 solid hours of playing Kid Cudi's "Dan N' Night" at max volume the sub overheated and shut itself off (The self preservation feature is way nice). But keep in mind, the amp had no ventilation at all and it was almost 100 degrees outside today in my black car. I turned it down a bit and had no problem since, even driving home from work in traffic. I also had some trouble wiring it in, but that's because I'm a noob. :p

All in all, this is THE amp for beginners! It almost puts out too much bass!

This amp is great for the price! My only quarrel with it is that it was a little bigger than I thought, but I found a place to mount it nicely to the back of my rear seat. Make sure that if you get this you take careful measurements and you know where you'll put it! This amp is running a single punch bass 12" RF sub and it sounds great. The punch bass when it's turned up does exactly that, it punches rather than rumbles (but note, this is only with the dial turned far up on the amp). I ran it through a burn in session on a trip of mine where for two days (separated by a few days) it ran for about 10 hours straight with no problems. It did get warm (and it was already warm since it's summer) but I love it! You won't be disappointed with this if you want 500 watts RMS!
