Customer Testimonial

SONIC has the best prices, and fast shipping. This was my second purchase. This time I got new Front & Rear speakers for my truck. I installed them the day they arrived and they sound great. No need to ever go anywhere else looking for equiptment.

I just wanted to let anyone know if you are thinking about buying this you are in for a real treat. I have mine pushing a pair of P3 12s in a Nissan Versa. This amp will beat your ride to pieces if its the amount of power you need. Runs very cool, not a hint of hot spots. I'm very pleased and I think you will be too. No regrets here.

This guy will never let you down!! I have ran many subs on this since i bought it. Currently using a 12w3v3-4 and its perfect, ran a 12w6v2-d4 and Holy wow that was way to much bass in my small hatchback thought my headliner was going to fall off lol couldn't beleave what that w6 could do, tryed a focal SUB P 30 subwoofer just turn down the gain a bit and this amp gives you so much headroom. And with 800w rms JL Audio said I can run two 12w6v2-d4 on this little amplifier. But I think i would rather not crack my windows. Very good amplifier!



BIrth Sheet reads:

360w rms @ 4 ohms

614w rms @ 2 ohms

808w rms @ 1 ohm



THANK YOU SONICELECTRONIX!!!

Just absolutely flawless. I live in Canada, and I had this amp shipped to my house for under $400, which is damn good. Here in E-Town, this goes for $799.99. It is a very musical amplifier; it makes everything sound great, and paired with a T400-4, it's just amazing. I am running 4 Focal 130-CVX and a Focal SUB P 30. This is the best sound quality system I have ever had.

I have owned a lot of amps from all types of manufacturers and I will never stray from Rockford Fosgate again. Their amps are top notch and flawless. The birth sheet reads 367watts at 4ohm, 620watts at 2ohm, and 815watts at 1ohm. Absolutely incredible. just buy it, you wont regret it.
