Still my go to and favorite subwoofer amplifier to this day. Can't wait until they make and release a more powerful version. 10,000 watt rms cp would be epic.

I agree with the quality of Rockford Fosgate amplifiers. I have some OLD ones, a 1992 Punch 45HD and 1996 Punch 400x4 I bought new back then. Both amps still work great today! Reliability is second to NONE! Other amp brands will come and go, but RF is the benchmark from which other amps are striving for. They have always been ahead of the game, among the first to add MOSFET transistors back in the early 80's. Don't get cheap, pay for the good stuff! #RockfordFanatic4Life

I certainly saw A LOT of punch amps getting absolutely beaten to death when I was in high school back in the mid-90s. I don't think I ever saw anyone kill one no matter how hard they tried and most guys tried pretty damn hard. I couldn't even tell you how many cars I saw running 12" kicker comps and a Punch 200ix after they blew up a couple of Targa 500s. Ahhh... The good old days! haha.

MrSpanky473 I'm sure it happened, but I saw some of the most jenky fuse popping and twisted wires sparking against the trunk installs you can ever imagine a 15 year old accomplishing and never heard of a RF amp failing. It wasn't until someone spent the money on a Punch 500 that they really seemed to care about their install. Then again... plenty of those guys may have been playing amps that were hurt and never even knew it. Who knows? I've never owned an RF amp myself, but I've always had respect for the brand. I always liked more weird stuff (Phoenix Gold, Adcom, Orion, Audio Art, Lanzar, Soundstream, etc) back in the day. I think I just liked to be different.. haha

+Maxwelhse yeah...I seen alot of punch 45's and 150's burn up..I was a Linear Power fan back then.

Rockford Fosgate has always been a winner 👌

Such an exceptional amp. Power all day long, and gobs of it. RF continues to produce amazing products.

Your videos inspired me to buy a Rockford t1000.1bd for my set up and I couldn't be happier. Even like it better then my old Hifonics zeus 600 from the 90's.

This amp is a beast! I have one on my 2 15's L7's. The gains are not even at half and the bass is crazy in my 2 door tahoe. Changing my set up soon since I just got 2016 Suburban I will be moving this amp to that truck and add a additional one for 4 15's.

Beautiful amp inside and out.

I had one too, powering a 12" Orion HCCA and people thought I had 2 15" subs! This amp IS THE BEST AMP MONEY CAN BUY when it comes reliability and constant power.

Just got one brand new for $1100 gonna put it on 2 12” W7s....my birth sheet said 3583 @ 1ohm 😍

I have this amplifier and I think it’s the best amplifier hands down!

I have s couple of old power shrouded fan Amps from the 80's .. still get it In!!!

Just got a Rockford Punch P400X1. Does 565W @ 2OHM. Just for kicks, I put it down to 1 OHM and it was surprisingly 100% stable over a few hours of music playing. Pushing 800W+ out of this little guy. Rockford kicks ass.

давно ждал тест именно этого усилителя. спасибо, Стив!

One of the best amps ever made

cool video man thanks! been watching you for years

Fosgate was all I used too run back in the 90's. They was always a little more expensive but never had a failure. 4x250m's on 8 punch 15's...150's was loud back in the day.

Such a beautiful amp .

Hell yeah brother best amp I have ever owned. It's so versatile with all subs. Definitely backs up what it talks. Plenty of power when you need it. Very power hungry as well make sure electrical is there power wise cause this baby loves juice!

I was just looking into purchasing one of these used for 800 and I see this video. NICE 👍🏻

Love to see another video of Equalizing over Bluetooth through the Rockford Fosgate signal processors. Never know perhaps another minor adjustment may be needed due to stuff and things and wear and tear and other things and stuff :D Makes for a really interesting video of the technical control you have over the overall sound of your system. Just throwing it out there.

holy crap. Rockford is no joke thanx Steve. I have j/l audio 500/1 v2 slash with a w6. and I just can't take the full power. I can't fathom 4k watts.

Now this is a real amp. 👍

dude,nice video...love your stuff...that test didn't shock anyone,Rockford is known to deliver the powa.

well that explains why they ditched the t4000 this is more efficient and has damn near the same power, that was a great test and I'll be using it to educate people on why the Rockford power series is always a good way to go

Hey man keep up the work love your videos👍 and ive been RF fans since the 90s and there are the first if not one of the first car audio out and one the best....if iam not mastaking they started the car sysrems movement

can't wait to get one of those amps😜👌 love the videos Steve.

Wow that's ridiculous! Those RF amps always excel on the amp dyno!

This am is prolly the best Rockford Fosgate amp that has ever been made ever!!!!! I just sold my t20001bd for 1000 bucks and bought this amp the older t20001bd was a bad ass amp as well but I wanted more

Yessah. I got me one of those, pushing 1 16in T2 and that fuckah get action.

i remember when this bass stuff got big around '85-'86 rockford fosgate was the big daddy, the one to have if you had the dough.

I expected that birth sheet to read a lil bit higher than it did. I bought a RF 1000bd CP about 6 months ago and my birth sheet read 1700 RMS. But doing rated power, consistently, with long term reliability is great and any extra the amp puts out is a plus IMO.

you make me like tuesday

I dont have 14 lol but my one rockford t1500 is def a beast and the dynamic @ 1 ohm is 3k watts. Expensive and had to buy a knob for $35 but I will never buy a different brand. I had the cheaper 1200.1 punch or something I dont recall but it was my fault that amp isnt around no more not rockford. Damn good brand and thanks for the test.

Hey Steve love the knowledge you have with all the amps & speakers.. I was thinking of getting a fosgate 2500.1, am I gonna need a bunch of stuff to hook it up to my car just to run it? what will I need just to run it? I want to run it at 2ohms with two 18's, any suggestions on the 18's just right for this amp. Thanks

i run one with zv5 15inch sundown and my favorite thing is what i call the warble float ! not sure the frequency but its that wa wa wa wa making the entire car feel like its floating including your body !! WOW SOOOO COOL feels like your riding the sub completely INSANE !

I have one to push an AA team 15, looking to get another. along with my SMD terminals. they is no joke. heavy duty like this amp and my sub.

been waiting on that dyno...oh yea👍

RF Power series BDCP are the best subwoofer amps available. With less THD than class D and a shit ton of power across the impedance range they can't be beat

Im planning on wiring a secondary 14 volt xs battery or 16 volt to my t2500 to get better juice to it. Already have all the upgrades with a 250 amp alternator

Steve please do a dyno on the 1500 bdcp version! Would love to see how the 1500 improved, opposing to the older bd. Dope stuff by the way!

Out of 4 t1500s we had to return 2 in my friends old build. Been an RF fan all my life. Jeep had 300amp alt and 4 group 31s.

T2500 bdcp I bought it for 600 last year best amp period

Just put a t1500-1 in my ride. Big difference in bass. One T2 15 dual 4 and I am hitting a 129 on the spl meter. I think I might do one more sub to drop it down to 1 ohm.

sure there are othere amps that make good power. but the R&D that goes into fosgate amps is the best!

Next amp for sure

How about and Incriminator 80.1 on the amp dyno! Great video man

I had the non cp t2500 wish I would have never sold it. I'll get another one of these some day.

he'll yea my KZread has been dead no new videos thanks for another interesting video

I love fosgate. unfortunately I've switched over to sundown. still a huge fan of fosgate though.

I've had old school RF amps like the old Rockford 800/2. I even bought one when they use to sell their products at Best Buy. Sounds like they are sponsoring you. I might be wrong.

ya I got an old school power 360a2 and punch 200a4 and a set of 5.25 fnq components. need to get some rockford 8s and this t2500 and a 3sixty.3 to complete my build. oh and another 2 soundqubed hds315d2 subs.(have 1 now on an old p500x1 I had layin around)

I used to stuff their pcb boards back in the Day - component quality wasn't that great. But they've come along way:)

I like some of their older amps used Motorola transistors in the power supply area

sick amp buying one for my isf

rockford, JL, Kicker etc. will show rated power, they can actually put for example: fosgate 750 watts at 1 ohm. max, but box watts is 1500 watts on box and will still mabey do more at dynamic, so they can put outrageous watts on box and it will do what box says but THEY will not lie because they don't have too. so cost per watt a little more money but worth every penny.

Has anybody done a dyno with two of these bridged together with the sync cable? I haven't seen any that I can find. Curious about the output.

best amp I've ever had mine does 2700 at 1 got it for 500

i have that amp it kicks a$$ i also have a 1500bdcp an a 200.2 had the smaller amps longer an havent had 1 prob with them! i had a old skool 200.2 in the late 1990's which prob pushed more then 200 watts too

keep up the good work man do you think if rockford comes out with a more powerful amp that u will make the swap

Hey Steve I'm putting new speakers in my car and am wanting to put Rockford's punches in the back and then the primes in the front is that a good combination or should I put punches in the front and back?

I thought the CP meant the amp delivered constant power, and not the same wattage across the board at all ohm loads. Like with most amps the wattage goes up and down as it plays depending on the load, whereas the CP keeps the amp pushing at a constant 2500 without it dipping under a heavy load.

I have an old school Phoenix Gold ZPA 0.5 that claimed to have a high current vs. high voltage modes and was supposed to produce the same power regardless (1,000 rated.. this is back in the late 90s so without going to something super huge, that was a powerful amp) of whether it was ran at 1 or 4 ohms. I was always curious to know if it actually did... Any experience with those, Steve?

meade916 if I remember you are running your 2500s at .7 each in the tahoe so your getting way over 3k to each voice coil! makes me want buy a couple fosgate 2500s

Do you think the power will be the same with the new bank?

I have looked online for a dyno on a fosgate t1000bd and can't find one. You should def try one out!!

Can you test a JL Audio Slash 1000/1v2 or 1200/1v3?

good luck all

Do a test on the Zapco Z-3KD

What size Allen wrench is needed to open this amp to see the guts?? I own two, and I've tried and tried every size and can't seem to find the right one to open it up. I love these amps, just need to open it up to get a prong that broke off my rcas.

I was waiting for the half ohm test lol

Can you test the T750x1bd? They birth out at >1000W but use boosted rail technology. I would love to know if they truly put that out.

I got one of these brand new. Set the gain and crossover with dd1 and cc1. As soon as I was done the amp went into protect. Unhooked the sub and rca's and it was still in protect. Rockford said to send it back to the dealer. The dealer told me that they have to send it to rockford. Now I have no bass for however long it takes for rockford to do something. Brand new out of the box you'd think I'd just get a replacement. Waited 2 months for fi to build my sub and still can't use it. Might just buy an ia20.1 and sell the rockford whenever it comes back. Grrrr!

Should only take a week and a half. But depends where u live so for people in california expect about a week. Had similar problem. Had this amp go out so I installed backup to save it costs over 400 to fix this bad boy. Finally had amp sent for repair got back in about a week. Went to install had to take out working alpine to install refurbished 2500 that was doa. Only went into protect. Saw needles and blue lights for a few split seconds but that was it. Sent back again under warranty this time and like i said about a week turn around. But the amp is worth the hassle it pounds like no other. I had alpine mrx-m240 x power and that puts out over 2700 watts rms @2 ohm. Great amp but this 2500 is louder still.

speaking of sundown, could you do an amp test on the Sundown Audio SCV-2000D?

Rockford is really good its just the price but yeah you get what you pay for

YEAH!!!

What's the BD sync input for ? Is that how these amps get linked up ? Like JL's master / slave setup ? And are there just 2500BD vs the CP. I'm going to assume Steve only has the CP version in his ride.

you should test the dual xpr520 from Walmart it says it 2006 cea compliant

is that a BD or bdcp because the box in the beginning of the video said BD?

Good day! Whats the difference between t2500bd vs t2500bdcp.. i mean the watts sir.. thanks

hi, I have been thinking of getting this amp to power my two crossfire 12'' C7 subs but was told that they get very hot, I would like to know whether it is true and what can be done to solve the problem. thank you

could you test two of these strapped together?

How clean are these amps? I am considering Jl HD1200 vs rockford t1500. Fosgate has 1%thd and not sure how much it affects the sound

Wondering shall I do a t2500bdcp or 2 t1500bdcp on 4 dual 4 ohm power t1s 600rms???
