Sleek Power!!!

I bought this because of RF's reputation for outstanding amps and I am more than satisfied with this product. Birth sheet says 691 at 1ohm at 20Hz. This amp is not only powerful, it looks amazing also, even if it was trash I'd keep it to show off. RF did it right with this series. I look forward to owning more of their products.

excellent

I coupled this amp with a Fosgate 15" DVC Sub. I am running it at 8 ohms and it is plenty loud and clear. I do recommended this amp, but purchase some kind of external sub control. A lot of the time it is too loud for normal listening, so I bought a Fosgate Sub Control. My only problem with this amp is that it is no longer made in the USA (as of the first of the year). That was the reason I went with all Fosgate equipment. All and all it sounds and works great, I just like supporting the USA.

loud and small

when i first got it i was like WTF cuz it was so small but i finally got it hooked up to my 2 P3 12 4 ohms and i bought this amp because it said it can do 500 @ 1 ohm so i was exited until the place i took it to get it installed said amps fry when there wired to one ohm so i believed em until i heard it on 4 ohms and it truly wasnt as impressive as i would expect.. but when i studied up on RoFo.com i learned the amp was fine for one ohm so in the end it bumps hard at one ohm and i still havent felt it get warm even after ear busting bass for like an hour this amp is intense and it does the job of an amp twice its size.

wow

Another great product from RF. I am using it on a 12" RF shallow sub. Output is amazing given the sub's size. Good clean power.

good deal

This amp is just what i needed to pound on a FR P-3 DVC 12" sub in a sound ordance sealed box. A reinforced box is a must with over 500w rms on one sub. The birth sheet said 535w @ 2ohms. I had to order custom 12gage speaker wire somewhere else. Walmart didn't have anything close to the wire this setup needed. With the gain set halfway up and the remote RF base knob($24)... TONS of power and fun in the Prelude. This setup sounds like most guys I know who are running TWO 12"s. Thanks Sonic!

petit mais costaud

Great amp small size, it can be placed anywhere even in a small box. Set to a minimum to balance the running i already bass that move the rear window .. And yet i have a convertible ca absorbs quite low frequencies. Mine is 521 w rms at 2 ohms! Perfect for my sub jl audio 25cm ... And send fast, what more? Look at the prices in france and you hallucinate compared to SonicElectronix!

Works Great

Wired to 2 10" Alpine Type R'..Hits hard! Great buy...especially at the reduced price because it's the older model... birth sheet is 700 watts at 1ohm, 532 watts at 2 ohms ..
Gotta love Fosgate
Only thing that bugs me is the little plastic knobs are very fragile and one cracked already..

great amp

T500 amp and a RF P3 12' sub. Sweet. Second time I've paired these two together. If you need to run two subs to get this amp warm, just think about getting one bigger sub. Sounds just as good and weighs less. If you want to run more than one RF p3 sub, get the next bigger RF Power amp.
