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.

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!
