    2 Punch 45s. 1 OEQ1. 2 CV 18s in 7th order. 2 5 1/4 RF component sets. 4 6s for midbass. Ran this setup in a 84 Ford Fairmont 4 door. Ran both channels bridged for a 2ohm load. CAN and IASCA I could hit 138db on music. At Rolling Thunder I hit around 140db in SPL. With a stock alternator and 2 deepcycle batts. It was crushing. 1988-1993 in 0-100 watt class. Fukuda. Clark. Speakerworks. The JL Audio boys in Miramar. Manville. Dan Jobin with LINEAR then KICKER when they went by Stillwater Designs. Glad to know somebody is keeping the old school beats pounding.

    I have been FANATICAL about Rockford mono amps since way back in 2002 when I bought the 1000.bd!!! They were so much more expensive than the other amps of comparable output, but I knew that wasn't by accident, I knew there was a reason. I had it powering a single Kicker CVR 18 in a V-Tech box that was made for a 15 inch sub so it protruded a half inch or so on either side. I am telling you it was so unbelievably loud, and I didn't have a HO alternator or big 3, I only had 4 gauge cca wire too!!! Every system I have had since I am trying to get as loud and I am falling quite short. But anyways, RF Power series monoblock amps are second to none and I have been in love with them since!!!

    What's up man..enjoy the videos, your honesty shines through. I felt the same way about fosgate til I came across D'Amore Engineering amps. This guy Tony D'Amore left fosgate as their biggest designer & engineer after many years. I replaced 2 of my fosgate amps & won't be looking back. CLEAN, quality, underrated power (like fosgate) & less expensive. Got their 1000watt to a JL 12w6, sounds NICE..check them out. (Doesn't get too hot either) Took your recommendation on the kicker L78 Q-class for a different ride, going to power it with D'Amore Engineering 750wtt. Keep putting out videos!

It probably sounds like a Beethoven symphony but still that's way too rich for me lol thats almost what my car itself is worth, but you are right D'amore is fantastic in every category

    So True, my old school 2004 RF Prime runs +500w @ 2ohm sounds much better on my new Type R than my new TXP1.3500D which gets its "claimed" RMS of 700W @ 2ohms and then some, these models just came out back in 2020 or 21 I think. So, the 500W from RF may be underpowering, but the 2ohm control and a RF amp sound so much better and don't seem any quieter with less power. I also have a Planet Audio BBD 1.2500D ( I know planet audio lol mostly junk) which actually gets ~1100W @ 1ohm but that is still far from its "claimed" RMS and not as clean as the RF Prime or Soundstream. I only have it because it was free and I swapped a couple bad mosfets and it was good, so why not have an extra 1k amp sitting around just in case the full bridge decides to tank. Anyways love the vids and the knowledge you share!

    Good videos. There are basically 2 camps of class D amps these days. Companies like RF, Kicker, JL, Audio Control that are actually designing amps then others that just re-brand old class D Korean circuits. Nothing wrong with that, but very few companies are really doing anything new.

    I'd still have my RF (I think 2005ish model) amp 600.1D if someone didn't steal it years ago.. Think I remember seeing it back in like 05 at my local car audio shop for 499$ new, but I knew I couldn't afford it but got lucky bc a good buddy was selling his whole system to pay fines and stuff.. I loved that amp so much outta all the amps I've ever had, I told my self I'd never sell it, period. But someone knew it was worth a couple hundred so they caught me slipping.... Most likely heard my truck bumping and knew it wasn't cheap.. Funny thing about it tho, I still got the bass knob somewhere, I always held on to it..

    I have been meaning to try out JL amps but Rockford Fosgate has been too good to me. I'm pushing 40 years old and have only owned two of RF's amps. The first one was 20 years old and sold it to someone that loves vintage amps and the second one is 15 years old and is the amp I currently use. I will probably hand this second one to my son for his own car and see how long it lasts without selling it. They're no joke and don't break even if you mistreat them every once in a while.

    You need an amp that will at least put out the rms for your subs. I had 2 12” alpine type r’s dual 4 ohm wired to a 1 ohm load. I was running them with a Crescendo Audio Symphony 1500.1. That amp though puts out a clean 1630 watts at 1 ohm. The Fosgate power 1500.1 would be a excellent choice as well it puts out close to 1900 watts.
