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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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