Good Powerful Sub

I have this powering 2 Boston Acoustic G210 subs wired in parallel (2 ohms) Spec sheet says at least 450W.
Amp is built solid and has LPF and bass boost adjustments. Runs cool and sounds great without letting up.
Wired it up with a 4-gauge let.
Not quite as nice as the Power Series but very good.

Rockford Fosgate Amp P500-1BD

I have had this amp running 2 PS3 10" Subs flawlessly for 6 months now. Extremely pleased with it's performance and the distortion is minimal if even audible. I would recommend this product to anyone!

Wow

All I can say is wow Rockford has changed these Punch series up. They are so much smaller and produce tons of power 454 watts rms at 2ohms and 700 watts rms at 1ohm on my birthsheet. Defiantly worth the money.

Very Satisfied

i have had this item for about six months now and have never had a problem with it. i am running it with 2 Rockford 12s in the Rockford box that was made for them. i also run it with a cap on the side which i was erie about. but i will say the set up was very straight forward and easy to tune! the amp is a very strong and clear power maker and i believe it is one of the best on the market!

Doesn't get any better

This amp is rated 500rms @ 1 ohm. my birth sheet said it was actually 697 @ 1 ohm and 2032 watts peak. No other 500 watt amp can even come close to that with the great price from Sonic Electronix

punch 500-1bd

i have this amp on 2 12l7s and every one thinks i have 2 15s or 3 12s at first it was runing at 2 ohms on 2 jl wov2 15s but it puts out alot more pwer at 1 ohm i run it with the gain all the way up for a year and it never kicks off but it gets warm but not hot i think its under rated by a few hundred watts

Nothing but the best

I bought this amp because of the price. It was half of what any retailer wanted for the same product. The customer service was even better. I even bought subwoofers too as a result of the first experience. Nothing but excellent service and quality in both transactions. I highly reccomend Sonic Electronix.com to anyone looking for electronic equipment.

Good clean amp

RF has very solid amp designs. No issues what so ever. I think RF was one of the last car audio companies to send manufacturing overseas which I thought was kind of sad because they were one of the few native made amps. I've owned high end Orion, and a bunch of copy cats Power Acoustik, Clarion, Kenwood, etc and you do get what you pay for.

Awesome amp, delivers more than 500 watts rms!

Helped a friend install this in his car paired with 2 12" P2's and damn does his car slam now! Birth sheet was well over 500 rms at 576 rms at 2-ohms which was very impressive! Rockford all the way!
