Rockford Fosgate PRIME R500-1

Great amplifier, especially for the price

This amplifier is top-notch, I would buy it again in a second. It comes with a birth sheet, which shows that its underrated by 35 watts RMS. You get exactly what you pay for from RF: a quality, well-built amplifier that performs great. I would recommend this amp to anyone!

Impressive Amp for the price!!

I just put in this amp with a single 12" Kicker CRV. It pushes it very well and does not heat up at all. The base control nob is also a very great feature this amp has. Went to go pick up a new fuse at aspen sound and this amp ran for $250 there. Sonic Electronix has the best deals and will get some bump in your truck fast.

fosgate

cant go wrong with fosgate amps.. best amps ever. even rf amps with low watts. this 500.1 amp hits harder then most 1500.1 other brand amps. i have this 500.1 pushing 3 kickr cvr's. couldn't ask for more.

The best brand out there

Rockford fosgate has never let me down. Every product I bought was rockford and it sounds amazing. The amp powers my p3 rockfords which makes them really thump.

Greatest Investment Ever

OMG! Ive been in the car audio game for a while... Have had many different subs and amps and nothing was to my satisfaction.

Super Duper Bass. I have this amp paired with just one 12" alpine type-r in a ported box and it is the best it has ever been. RIDICULOUS.

TOTALY PLEASED

i'm a fan of RF. long lasting equipment. i just installed this over the weekend. it's pushin 2 12" nicely with minimum gain. beautiful exterior with a certified rating of 550 i think it said.

Rockford fosgate 500

This amp is the absolute truth.. For what they are selling it for is a absolute steal and you get a top of the line amp that will push your subs or subs to it's max. I have it hooked to a 1200 watt Sony Xplode sub an it pushes that one sub to the max an I don't even have the amp turned all the way up an it the amp doesn't overheat with long periods of use just make sure to keep the trunk somewhat ventilated on those hot summer days when using for long trips to keep it from getting to hot an shutting off for a few seconds.

Good Amplifier

This amp is good for its price. I was needing a amp but short with money so i bought this one. I had two rockfordfosgate P3D412's and this amp. The bass was so clean and fairly loud! I recommend this amp if short on cash.

Rockford Rocks!

The birth sheet on this amp has it at 553 watts RMS @ 2 ohm. I have this amp running two Rockford P2D210 and I am scared for their life. If you want an amp that you get your moneys worth out of buy this one.

Pleased

Bought this from somewhere else but I hate making accounts just to review a product.

This things is pretty big but does the job. I've always been a fan of Rockford even though everyone talks about them not being what they used to be but after reading many reviews on their new lines, they seem to be making a comeback.

This amp is visually gorgeous with the dark brushed aluminum that matched my interior perfectly and was a little smaller than I thought based on reading the measurements.

I've had it for only a day but I've put it through some paces in the 2 hours I've used it and it works very well.

Very few reviews anywhere on the net post birth sheet/ certificat numbers and that bugs me, I feel its vital to the purchase. My amp cam with just a plain looking sheet and its has its actual watts for only a 2 ohm load which it doesnt even state, It just has the serial number, stamp and actual wattage of 553!

Nice choice of settings, quality feel and look, excellent sound out of new 10"W3v3-2. This amp is sort of over kill but I have the gain set to my headunits output voltage and it sounds great. My sub loves the power coming out of it, since I have it down, its getting very clean power, making it extremely accurate. I

had the gain full blast at point for about 20 mins and the amp felt what I would call "very warm". From my experience and knowledge of the brand, RF typically run warm/hot but it doesnt effect their performance. Running for 1 hours at medium volume with gain set to 5 (my head units output voltage) the amp barely felt luke warm, very nice.

Anyway I give this 2 thumbs up, I love rockford amps, I used their 4 gauge amp kit (the best you can get, worth the coin) with this so its getting optimal power flow, grounding and comes with twisted rca's. This obviously leads to stable voltages and quality signals which are KEY when dealing with electronics, car audio in particular.

Get this if you need 500 clean watts of power @ 2 ohms.
