Great Litttle Thumper!

The R250-1 drives my subwoofer. At half volume one can see the windows moving inside of the cab. With your hand one can feel the truck body vibrating on the outside. The sound remains clear from low volume to wide open. I never dreamed that a 250 watt amp could produce the sound that this thing does. It was easy to set up, and runs very cool. It is a well made product, and is a great buy in its price range.

Use your head

With the right system this amp is perfect. Whoever said this amp won't bump is either misinformed or ill educated in sound equipment. I'm running this with a mere 8 inch (e3.8) in a .35 sealed enclosure at half power, and my little Ford Focus looks like its having seizure. If you want a little more, try a 10 or 12 inch MTX with a nice ported box... assuming you are tuned correctly you are gonna bump without trying. Just keeping it simple people. I am tired of wannabe bass enthusiasts and their 1000 watt boss amps (this 250 will push nearly as hard with 10X the quality). Oh, and I should mention... your R250-1 will exceed its rating. Mine pushes a guaranteed 272 watts, just check the certificate when it comes in the mail.

Sub 12

This is an excellent choice. the price is absolutely affordable and worth every cent. the quality is great. its the first sub i ever owned and it kicks hard. it takes about a month to break in to its full potential but its sweet. it gets loud and entertains all my friends. if your looking for a complete earthquake get the 15 but if you want a nice quality sub get the 12. btw most people say get two twelves but if you ask any bass experts all you need is one. if you get two 12's and one amp then the amps power is divided in two. over all sweet.

Works perfect

Really great price and haven't had a single problem.

Great value

Great performance at a fair price.

Great Amp

This amp is a great all around amp. It's qite small so it can be mounted in many locations. It doesn't get too hot. It looks great. Birthsheet came in at 274 watts. Pushes my P2 8" at two ohms and sounds great. Poorted box tuned to 36 hz.
Only con I have is the finish of the amp. I do not know what the finish is but if sunlight ever hits it, it will eventually turn a copper orange color from the exposure.

Great little amp

Bought this to run RE Audio 8" DVC.

Pro: Good power, Small, Easy install, plenty of power for a certain style sub. Not enough to thump.
Con: None.

Great Buy!!!

had this amp during a car accident and it held up nicely!! Love this amp. I have been having lots of trouble finding the right amp and this if def one that I will come back to again in the future!!!

Rockford Amp Running Perfectly

I use this product to power one 10" RF P2 subwoofer. It is a nicely matched setup. This amp has awesome features such as a remote gain nob. It never overheats, ever. It is compact and well built with a slick black finish. At night the blue leds light up my trunk. It has the right amount of power to produce awesome everyday sound, and enough to hit really really hard if you ask it too. Overall, perfect amp for a 16 year old on a budget.

Another great product from RF

It is a really good amp, like the title says, another great product from Rockford, I saw a couple of reviews made by a soniclectonix guy (not seth) and I decided to buy it, it feels really "well made", nice finish, power led is blue and it will illuminate the hole trunk, rated at 250 rms by Rockford but the birth sheet says the final output is 279 rms (certified by CEA2006) so this is great and delivers true power to your sub. It hits really hard and the knobs let you control crossover, gain and punch are very convenient. Overall, very good amp for beginners in car audio, this amp will not let you down. The only "not that good" thing a can say about it is that is not the cheapest amp around, but I guess that I you want high quality you have to pay extra for it

PD. The shipping weight is about 8 pounds not 6

Excellent Product

Great little amp and an excellent value. I am running this to a single 10" Fosgate woofer in a vented box built to Fosgate's specifications. I have excellent bass response and the wired remote is great for controlling the level or when the wife is in the truck. No issues with overheating, in fact, no issues at all. I definitely recommend this amp.

SonicaaBoom

This amp is Thor in the box for my fosgate sub.
i use the am for sub only while having to custom build 2 separate wiring looms for it to run off Qre5 this amp ravishes my sub. The expedition has large air space the 3cubic rear mid section custom armrest-box thumps the hell out of anyone in truck! The amp survived 100-110 heated days here in Dallas NEVER shut down yet, got so hot at times could not touch it. looks like fosgate has done it again Thanks for a Super ear pleaser guys makes for great Message also it hits really hard.

Bumps

This lil guy is legit, 6 months hasn't blown my sub but sure can pound when I turn it up. I've got it hooked up to a 2.5 farad capacitor and 1 10" inch pioneer ported box, thats all you need cuz you will be heard.

Good Low power amp at great price!

Great amp, easy to install, and set up. Does get a little warm, but sure does bump! Great for a small system, maybe a single 8, 10 or 12.

Excellent value!!!!!

I was surprised at how much I saved compared to that big name catalog company that I usually buy from. Another great feature was when I went to the checkout, this site had a "what you might need" area and it was very insightful. Thank's there guys!

Great Deal!

I've installed a few of these as packages at my shop on 2 Prime 10's or 12's, and for the cost it does the job. Of course, the Punch 300 would be better but for the budget conscious, this is the way to go. There is not a better quality mono amp in this price range.

Rockford Fosgate PRIME R250-1

This amp sucks. It lasted 4 months then blew up. After it fizzled out, it started draining the battery. I had it mounted in the cab of my truck, and had plenty of air flow around it, and it still ran hot.

great amp

I got every penny worth out of this amp highly recommend this for a regular sound system will not break the budget.

Great Amp!

This amp worked great at powering my 2 Kicker comp 8" subs. Very easy to use. Would recommend to others.

Great amp

Great amp. No problems. It's Rockford Fosgate people, they know what they are doing.

great product

They make quality componets that work great!!!

Rocks

Using this to drive Infinity Ref. 860w SVC in sealed cabinet. Want SQ not thump and this amp is @ 75% and will rattle car. On HU running amp @ +3 and it is plenty, there is a lot of headroom. This amp is great for what I need and has plenty of power.

awesome amp

I got this powering a 10inch rockford in a fiberglass box. The amp powers it perfectly. As long as the amp is tuned properly it will sound amazing.

Great amp!!!

Great amp like the title says! Never had any problems and sounds amazing! So impressed. Maybe i know nothing about amps but i would definitely say this is a 2 channel amp. Just look at the pictures. Great buy too!
