Love these r2 prime amps, got me 500’s for the doors p1650-s and 2x 1200’s for my t215d4 subs, 1 for each sub at 2ohms and man they produce great sound💯
Awesome, Jay Pee! Thanks for sharing your experience with other Car Audio Fanatics watching this video!. We appreciate you rockin' your ride with Rockford Fosgate!
I have always been a fan of Rockford fosgate amps subs and speakers I ran fosgate for years then now I'm disabled and I unable to afford these amps now. One day I will get me some fosgate amps two T 2500s like Steve SMD Tha Boss Steve is. Very nice job Rockford fosgate. 🥇✌️
Thanks for your feedback Daveo and being a Rockford Fosgate fanatic!
I love this amp! The only problem I have is that when it's extremely cold, it goes into protect mode.
Your amplifier shouldn't go into protect mode unless it is above 90C-degrees. Are you verifying this with the LED changing color? Are you within the 1 year warranty still?
I have two R2 1200 they are awesome I got them pushing to P3 15 Lovett keep up the great I literally ordered last year's at the beginning of of this year and a supplier sent me the brand new R2 1200 and then I begged him to sell me another one at the same price because he saw them to me at the price of last year's model made my year
Nice! Sounds like you lucked out with the "once in a lifetime" pricing... Hope they keep your P3 15" happy!
@@rockfordfosgate yes I did they are so beautiful I literally have the old model two of themone of them is having issues with and it was going into safe mode whenever base with hit hard so I just decided to buy a new one and then I got that brand new one and the guy hooked me up with another one for the same price I had to do it and I got two brand new ones connected was like the large wiring kitI need a build me a speaker box because I've does bought one and it was a bit to the vehicle a man and I also need to go around my car and start checking everything out I've already blew off the cover for my rear tail light the other one was falling off but I got it before it fell off everything shakes I love itand I do have some sound dampening material in the trunk already and on most of the doors except for one I just need to replace or add some more interior speakers and maybe an app for that I think I'd be a good with that car is a 2006 Lincoln zephyr v6 and I do have that capacitor cap the tin the one that looks just like another ampI just hate that I ain't had time to get the final touches to it so it's all nice and neat and set up I don't even know about exactly do everything for the empty yet usually out of found it out by now but not yetwhat are those high input wires for is it like to go to the speakers or is it like to go to the deck this is Aunt is so brand new there is nobody showing you how to set him up yet cuz I at least had them for about three weeks now

High level inputs! You just eliminated the need for me to buy an audiocontrol lc7i. Stoked for this.
Audioholic86 Great! Yes, the R2 amplifiers have a High-Level Input Sensitivity of 450 mV - 12 V, so it will work with nearly all types of source units. It also has an Auto Remote Turn-on/off switch that disables the DC Offset feature when you don’t need the detection circuit to automatically turn the amp on.
@@rockfordfosgate Those features though. Clean and pass through. Sold, just bought a 4 channel.
@@Audioholic_86 Thank You! Appreciate your support!
Love rockford fosgate amps. I got my punch 300 mono to give 500 watts
Awesome Ethan! Great to hear your Punch amplifier is producing more than expected!
I picked up a 200x2 R2 amp for my rear stage T1 components. We will see how it performs.
Great! Thank you for your confidence in Rockford Fosgate.
I wish your subwoofer amplifiers and multi channel amps had cliplights on the external bass and volume nob.... you should have this on all of your amplifiers. This is an invaluable feature, If not on your lower tier stuff, at least do it for your power series of equipment! A lot of people would appreciate it! Perhaps all of your amps could use this feature! Nice buget amps you got here though!

I took out the back seat, I should have the amp rack in & wired up soon.
@@bodied93toy66 Can't wait to hear your reaction regarding the amount of power those amps put out.
These honestly look much better than the punch
The Prime R2 series are absolutely awesome now after inheriting C.L.E.A.N. which is arguably the best feature from the Punch line. The Punch series Sound Quality is a step-up with Class-AB on stereo models and Class-BD on mono models (R2 models are all Class-D). The MEHSA (MOSFET heat dissipation) technology is also more complex in the Punch line over the simpler MEHSA4 version in the R2. Overall, you can't go wrong with either the Punch or Prime R2 line of amplifiers as they offer much higher performance and features over competitive amplifiers in the same price point.
Thank you!!
I'm totally a newbie to actually understanding how sound systems work!! Now i know how people feel when i talk Welding talk, lol. Whole another Terminology!! I understand a lil bit about sign waves, square waves, frequency etc. Do to Tig Welding machines are alot more advanced!! I just want to be able to experiment with my Amp. Gains, Frequencies etc. Fosgate 300w 4 Channel, R2 300×4. Any suggestions would be appreciated!! That amp runs my 4 door Speakers, fosgate 6" full range P16.
Hi Jason, for the R2-300X4 on a pair of P16 speakers, we would recommend setting the crossover to around 275 Hz - 400 Hz High-Pass and using the 0 dB Gain Overlap track at 4kHz to setup your CLEAN LEDs. you can download the tracks here: rftech.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1126/
Very nice it would be nice if we could get tiny full bridge amps with huge power for the punch or power lineup
Thanks for your feedback Quinton. What advantage do you see a "full bridge" amp has over a traditional mono amplifier or 2-channel bridged amplifier?
@@rockfordfosgate the advantages i see about the full bridge design is lower cost per watt, smaller footprint and better efficient than the traditional halfbridge design and with RF you know it will be superior quality
Yuck 🤢 full bridge
Great Quality product for Car Amp. I have one for is the sound quality for R2 is better than the R1 ?
All R2 models are Class-D, where only a few of the R1 were Class-A/B, but unless you are running a high-end set of components, you will likely not detect any sort of sound quality difference. If you are most interested in Sound Quality, I would suggest stepping up into the Punch Series amplifiers.
Am giddy for these. I want a 1200 &500×4 setup. Hey RF, my Bday is in 2 days, wanna hook a man up with a birthday discount. Lol. J/k
I have the TM1000x5ad. What I don’t understand is that it is a Class-D amp, which is supposed to be a high-efficiency / cool running amp, but this thing runs RAGING HOT. How could it be claiming 85% efficiency while the amp is running 130°? Can someone please explain this? I have an M2 speaker system and plan on changing out this lava hot amp before it catches my boat on fire. Does the R2 amp series run just as hot?
Hi Brandon, The TM1000X5ad utilized Class-AD on channels 1-4 and Class-BD on the mono channel. These are not your typical Korean Class D circuits as they are engineered here in Tempe, AZ by Rockford Fosgate for much better Sound Quality. The Class-AD is an efficient circuit. The Class-BD circuit is slightly less efficient due to the configuration it's designed for high power output and does not mimic a typical Class-D design. The thermal limit on our amplifiers is 90˚C (194˚F) and safe on automobile carpets, marine applications on wood/fiberglass, and UTV installations on plastic. We're also the ONLY company to utilize a substrate called MEHSA which very efficiently removes heat away from the MOSFETS. This allows the inside components to run cooler, while the outside heatsink dissipates heat. The amplifier is operating perfectly normal and will not cause any issues in your boat.
We need a new T2500BDCP 💯💯👍👌
Wouldn't that be the same amp then? J/K
Hello. So, I ended up buying a P600X4. It is a terrific, well designed/engineered amplifier that really impresses me every time I use my system. The sound is very accurate.
So, now I'm back searching for a good monoblock. I watched this video again, several times.
--The new Prime amps ... do they compete with other models such as the Punch series? Because, the Prime series seems to be the better buy right now. They are fantastically engineered.
--I'm looking at the R2-750X1. That amp can really pump out the power.
--Does the R2 Prime amps function in a push-pull manner? --IDK the name of this circuit design, but does the amp read incoming power from the negative and compare it to the positive output in order to adjust the amp's output accordingly in order to push the sub as hard as it can but also give the amp more control over the sub's movement?
The Punch models offer sound quality topologies of Class-AB & Class-BD over the R2 circuit topology which is Class-D. Not 100% certain about what you're referring to in regards to push-pull. I highlighted all the major features of the R2 amplifiers above, but you can see all the technologies for the Prime amplifiers under the respective TECHNOLOGIES tab on each product details page: rockfordfosgate.com/products/selector/car-amplifiers/
when are you guys coming out with new punch subs? i love my 2 12 p3 wired at 1ohm on a 1600watt kicker they bang
The Punch subwoofer has undergone several generations of upgrades. What would you like to see updated on them?

On the clean feture when your tuning it do they turn red when clipping starts or blue ive been told blue but mine turns red when i was tuning it
On the R2 amplifiers, the INPUT LED displays RED only. The OUTPUT LED displays both BLUE/RED.
please increase the size of the voicecoils on the punch subs. would like to see 2.5" voice coils on the 10 and 12" rated at 750w.. with your amps getting more powerful we need subs that can handle the juice. I am forced to run an American bass subwoofer with my Rockford punch 1000x1 because your p3 10 cant handle it
Hi rmblwgn, the Punch P3 10" (P3D2-10/P3D4-10) and the P3 12" (P3D2-12/P3D4-12) already use 2.5" voice coils. The P3 10" is rated at 500W RMS and the 12" is rated at 600W RMS. Rockford Fosgate rates it's speakers according to CEA-2031 and IHF Dynamic specs. A lot of other manufacturers use the spec that gives them the biggest number, regardless of the real-world implications. So, you may see 500W+ subwoofers that really handle about 1/2 to 2/3 that power in the real world.
A pair of P3 12" subwoofers will work just fine on a Punch P1000X1 amplifier. With the proper gain setup (we recommend +10dB Gain Overlap on subwoofers) this combination should have worked just fine as its suggested daily in our tech support center. We're assuming you had a pair of subwoofers that got blown. If the speaker surround/spider got torn, this is caused by excessive excursion (too much bass boost, incorrect enclosure). If the voice coils burned, it was likely driven extremely hard on that P1000X1 amplifier. Dynamic Power on the P1000X1bd is 1,430 Watts x 1 @ 1-Ohm, so you definitely have the potential to over-power the subwoofers.
@@rockfordfosgate oh I agree I had the gain turned way down don't expect a single p3 10 to take 1400 Watts. I never clip or blow woofers so it was safe. I did upgrade to an American bass woofer for the same price for the increased mechanical compliance. It would be nice if your future generation punch 10 was rated at 750 RMS and could take bursts of a thousand Watts however. I think it is a good buy at $150 but 200 I think is a little too much
Hello guys I want to buy some Rockford fosgate amps but now that the new prime r2 came out I what to know the difference between these and the power and punch series other than the ab/d topology?
The main difference is the Class-D topology as a majority of the Punch/Power line-up utilize Class-AB or Class-BD.
I'm looking for a amp to power my Kicker Comp RT 12. I've read really good reviews about your amps and I'm considering picking up the R2-500X1. I'm hoping it will be a good combination.
Yes, this would be a good combination since the Comp RT 12 is rated for 500W. The R2-500X1 is rated for 500 Watts x 1 @ 2Ω with Dynamic Power at 590 Watts.
@@rockfordfosgate Excellent. Now I just have to wait for stock. I love the fact that your team takes the time to reply to comments. It makes me feel really reassured as a customer. Thanks.
@@roybodin7301 You're very welcome, glad I could help! Yeah, we hit a perfect storm with these new R2 models, they were flying off the shelves.

Very nice!👍
Thank you 👍
i have r2 300x . and i have rf p3 sub woofer. can i use the pass thru on my subwoofer?
Yes, the R2-300X4 pass-thru is designed to daisy-chain the audio signal to another amplifier like a mono amplifier for powering subwoofers.
I was wondering if you could answer a question for me or even a video would be greatly appreciated. I was just wondering why the P1000xbd cost more than the R2-1200x1. On paper the 1200 has more watts. I am running the R1200-1D On a set of 12 inch T0. And the sound is incredible I’d like to step up to the power series or maybe even the punch but watts compared to dollars. The prime seems like the best bang for your buck. Thanks again hope you can help clarify
There is a topology (sound quality) difference between the Punch model (Class-bd) and the Prime model (Class-D). Also, if you're simply looking at watts, you'll want to look at the Dynamic Power Output. The P1000X1bd is 1,430 Watts x 1 @ 1Ω. The R2-1200X1 is 1,389 Watts x 1 @ 1Ω.
Thanks Rockford Fosgate you guys make some great audio equipment.
@@jeffhill7440 Thanks for the great question. It's great to see fanatics like you doing research to make sure you're using the right products and making sure they match appropriately.
Rockford Fosgate OK so I bought the T 1500bdcp hooked it up to my TOs and blew them. I’m not sure what happened all I did was switch amps. all wiring configuration still the same. 2- dual 4 0HM 12’s wired to a one on load on the amp with gains set correctly. Now I’m really unsure of what to do I’ve sold my 1200 to help purchase the 1500 and I really can’t afford a set of T1’s
How efficient is the R2-1200X1 as compared to the previous R1200-1D? I noticed that the recommended fuse increased from 150A to 200A. Thanks for your reply.
R2-1200X1 >80%, max current at 1-ohm is 120A and the R1200-1D 80% at 1-ohm, max current is 107A. They are mostly the same Class-D design. They both generate 1,200W RMS and roughly 1,400W Dynamic Power. I wouldn't put that much into the differences on our 2 samples above because that can simply be due to parts tolerances. Also, the recommended fuse we sometimes upgrade recommendations based on continued feedback from the field. The fuse is simply there to protect the battery from a catastrophic short, not the limit the amplifier's current draw.
@@rockfordfosgate Thank you very much for your reply. I was confused about which fuse to run. On a dyno video with the R1200-1D BigDWiz during dynamic testing was showing 1532 watts and pulling 173 amps. Will these short draws of power blow the 150A fuse? His video showing the high efficiency was the reason I went ahead and purchased one of the last remaining R1200-1D I could find. Thanks for your reply.
@@hippo-potamus You're welcome! Internally, Rockford Fosgate tests against the PowerCube which measures against Resistance, Inductance, and Capacitance. Dynamic tests like those illustrated by the PowerCube or AmpDyno represent "Dynamic" conditions of the amplifier, so these are milliseconds to seconds worth of testing. Like I say, our New Product Development likely increased the fuse size to be on the safe side for people who absolutely beat the hell out of the amplifier for long durations, causing the fuse to overheat and break. If this is a daily driver type of system, then 150 fuse should be fine.
@@rockfordfosgate Thank you!
mine constantly clips when i turn up the bass knob idk wat to do lmk if y’all kno ws
If you setup the CLEAN circuit as recommended, turning up the level control (not a bass knob) you'll exceed the "clean" audio level you originally set. If the amplifier clips when you turn it ABOVE the level you originally set, it's operating properly.
Great video! I have a question with matching this your R2-500x1 mono amp to my subwoofers. I have x2 8" subwoofers (single voice coils) that are 200 RMS @ 4ohm each. I will be wiring them in parallel so that they will be rated at 400watts RMS @ 2 ohms total. Will using this amp which is 100 watts more power be too much for the subs to handle? My plan was to not use Rockford's EQ punch or gain settings to hopefully level the power down enough
Great question, you will be overpowering those subwoofers since the R2-500X1 is rated to produce 500 Watts x 1 @ 2Ω, but Dynamic Power output is nearly 600 Watts! You may want to consider the R2-250X1 because Dynamic Power output is 328 Watts x 1 @ 2Ω which will not overdrive the subwoofers. The Gain + EQ controls don't regulate the Power Output of the amplifier, so it's gonna make that much power, the volume knob will just determine how quickly you'll get there.
Will an R2-1200X1 overpower a single 12in P3 4ohm ?, I want to buy higher rated amp for when I decide to buy a second P3. And would this amp be able to support 2 P3s also?
Yes, it's literally double the amount of power the subwoofer is rated for. The sub is 600W RMS and the amp is 1200W RMS. Yes, two subwoofers are recommended, and if you purchased two 4-ohm DVC, you'll wire them to create a 1-ohm load. Click on the WiringWizard tab on the product details page to see how to wire this up: rockfordfosgate.com/products/details/r2-1200x1/
When are you guys restocking? I need a R2.750x1! My prime 750.1d just died on me 😫
We got work today we'll be fulfilling dealer back-orders on all R2 models in the coming weeks.
I need some help here! I'm installing 2 P3d4s 15 inch. I have a p1000x2 but I'm confused if that would be enough for them or should I go with a p1000x1 bd? since they are better at 1 ohm and 2 ohm loads.
For my knowledge the p1000x2 will give me full power at 4 ohms
Any advice would help
The P3D4-15 are rated to handle 600 Watts RMS each, so two subwoofers will provide 1,200 Watts of power handling capacity. The pair of subwoofers can be wired to create a 1Ω or 4Ω amplifier load.
The Power P1000X2 is a full-range amplifier that can be bridged to produce 1000 Watts x 1 @ 4-Ohm Bridged. The P1000X1bd is a subwoofer amplifier that can produce 1000 Watts x 1 @ 1-Ohm mono. Although they offer the same power, the advantage is the P1000X1bd has a 28 Hz Infrasonic Filter, so if you plan on porting the enclosure, this is an absolute must have.
See how to wire your subwoofers here: rockfordfosgate.com/products/details/P3D4-15/
If I have four speakers totaling 520 watts (p1638 Rockford) which amp should I be getting? I want to put the one small sub also in it. Unless the amp powers the four speakers enough for them to sound better. Right now they are so so. Need an amp. Anyone know?
You have an unlimited number of combinations with amplifiers. If you have 4 speakers plus a subwoofer, we would recommend the R2-750X5: www.rockfordfosgate.com/products/details/r2-750x5/
Does it have low level inputs? Which should I use for a 5 channel amp in my head unit without using rcas?
Yes, the inputs function as both hi-level (speaker line) and low-level (RCA) inputs. If you use the R2-750X5 amplifier, you can use the left and right speaker line outputs from the radio to feed all amplifier channels. The amplifier may not need the REMOTE turn-on wire if your speaker line outputs have 6V DC on the line. You can use our RFI2SW (Speaker Line To Male RCA Adapter) to convert those speaker wires into RCAs: rockfordfosgate.com/products/details/rfi2sw/
Is there a knob available for the R2 500x4? Just bought this amp for two pd24 8inch woofers.
No, the R2-500X4 does not have any provisions for a remote control knob. The R2-250X2, R2-500X1, R2-750X1 and R2-1200X1 are specifically designed for subwoofers and are equipped with a Remote Level Control, Infrasonic Crossover, and a Punch EQ.

I purchased a R2 500 X4 and was curious if I can run a 12 inch sub 400 watts and how to do it with the inputs
Hi Jose, I'm assuming you want to run the front channels to your midrange and tweeters and bridge the rear channels to your subwoofer, correct? The R2-500X4 is designed for impedances of 2Ω stereo and 4Ω bridged/mono.
INPUTS
How many RCA's do you have coming from the source unit?
• If you have 2, move the switch to 2-CHANNEL INPUT and plug the RCAs into the FRONT LEFT/RIGHT. The front inputs feed all amplifier channels
• If you have 4, move the switch to 4-CHANNEL INPUT and plug the FRONT RCAs into the FRONT LEFT/RIGHT. Do the same for the rear. The rear channels feed the subwoofer.
• If you have 4 stereo RCAs + 1 or 2 SUB RCAs, move the switch to 5-CHANNEL INPUT. Plug the FRONT RCAs into the FRONT LEFT/RIGHT. Do the same for the rear. If your sub only has 1 RCA, use a Y-splitter and plug them into the SUB inputs. If you sub output has 2 RCA, then plug one into the SUB (top) and one into the SUB (bottom).
OUTPUT
Since you'll be bridging your rear channels, you'll want to make sure the subwoofer is a single 4Ω voice coil or a 2Ω DVC wired in series to create a 4Ω load connected to the REAR L+ and R- terminals.

What’s up Rockford! Was hoping you could maybe help out again. I was able to pick up two more 12” T0’s. And I’m thinking about installing them in my suv for a total of four. Was curious if wired the proper way would the R1200-1D get it done? Or should I pick up another R1200-1D. Or an even better question could you suggest another amp in the prime or power series that is capable of pushing the four 12’s. Thanks again
What model number T0 12" do you have? Are all 4 of them 2-ohm DVC or 4-ohm DVC.
Rockford Fosgate All four of them are 4-ohm dvc
@@jeffhill7440 Thanks for that info. The T0D412 is rated to handle 700 Watts RMS, so 4 subwoofers would provide 2,800 Watts power handling capacity and can be wired to a 2-ohm load. Since the R1200-1D makes optimum power at 1-ohm, we would recommend the Power T2500-1bdCP since it can generate 2,500 Watts x 1 @ 2-ohm. Its Constant Power technology will generate the same power output at 2-ohm as it does 1-ohm. See links below:

R2-750-1 vs the t500-1bdcp what's better
The R2-750X1 and the T500-1bdCP are very comparable in power, so it's best to look at the Sound Quality features:
R2750X1
Topology: Class-D
Bass: 0 to +18 dB @ 45 Hz
Low-Pass Crossover: 50 Hz - 250 Hz @ 12dB/Octave Butterworth
Infrasonic Filter: 15 Hz - 40 Hz @ 12dB/Octave Butterworth
T500-1bdCP
Topology: Class-BD (better SQ)
Bass: 0dB to +18dB @ 45Hz (same)
Low-Pass Crossover: 35 Hz - 250Hz @ 24dB/Octave Butterworth (much better)
Infrasonic Filter: -3dB @ 28Hz 12dB/Octave (similar)
Good Morning !can anybody show me how to put the input for my amplifier. R2 300EX four.
Are you trying to use the high level inputs on the R2-300X4 from a factory source unit?
@@rockfordfosgate yes
@@rockfordfosgate I' m trying to connect the konob that show me when the sound distort.
@@JoseRivera-lp1wq We have a step-by-step tutorial here: rftech.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1126/
What does A+ and A- mean?
Are you referring to the speaker output terminals on mono amplifiers? If so, it means:
• A = Subwoofer #1 (+/-)
• B = Subwoofer #2 (+/-)
What amp would I use with 2 15" subs at 150-500 RMS, Series 4 ohm, DVC?
If you have (2) 4-ohm DVC subwoofers that are 500W each, they can be wired to a 1-ohm load for a total capacity of 1000 watts. A good amp would be the Power T500-1bdCP. Although it's rated at 500W, it's Dynamic Power is actually 707 Watts x 1 @ 1-Ohm. Another option would be the Punch P500X1bd. Similar amplifier rated at 500W with a Dynamic Power of 787 Watts x 1 @ 1-Ohm.
@@rockfordfosgate I shouldnt get one with like a 1100 or 1200 Watt rate?
@@Babyjoker2222 You can use the Punch or Power 1000 Watt models, but just be aware the dynamic power on those is well over 1300 Watts. If you're going to drive the system really hard, you'll likely burn up the voice coils with it, that's why I suggested an amplifier that wouldn't exceed the power ratings of the subs.
What is the price of 500.1 amp

Awesome! Thanks for your feedback!
Tru Power!
Awesome! Thank You 👍
😱🤤
Seriously since you are using off-the-shelf inputs how much more would it cost to buy the straight inputs from your supplier that all other quality amps use. those angled inputs are difficult to use . Look at a jbl, orion xtr, alpine, ect... Wish you used those inputs
Assuming you mean the speaker outputs and the power input, right. This may have been a price point compromise in lieu of avoiding a cheap extruded heatsink like everyone else, who knows. After all, the Punch & Power Series do use straight connectors. Either way, appreciate the commentary ... we'll submit your feedback to our New Product Development department.
@@rockfordfosgate I agree, I would definitely choose the pioneer/hifonics style angled inputs that you guys purchased over those Chinese pot metal extruded pieces that Rockville and focal use. Gross
ok yall im runnin audio legion mids & highs and i wantem screaming...im currently runnin the prime 300...im nice right now but i want my passengers eardrum to bleed from my super tweeters
We would need the model numbers of the speakers to recommend an upgraded configuration since it appears Audio Legion offers several different models. Also consider your hearing and your passengers. While it may be fun to demo a system to show how loud it can go, long hearing loss isn't fun. We always suggest to Practice Safe Sound.
@@rockfordfosgate 4 audio legion mg 6.5’s and 6 audio legion 4.5 super tweeters
@@junyah1976 Thank you for that information. Based on your current setup, these 2 amplifiers will provide the best power distribution (the 3rd set of tweeters were tricky) and offer double the power output that you're getting from the R2-300X4:
P600X4 (Tweeters)
75 Watts x 4 @ 4-Ohm (wire 1 tweeter per front channel. Each tweeter will get 75W RMS)
150 Watts x 4 @ 2-Ohm (wire 2 tweeters per rear channel. Each tweeter will get 75W RMS)
P300X2 (Midrange)
100 Watts x 2 @ 4-Ohm
150 Watts x 2 @ 2-Ohm (wire 2 midrange per channel. Each speaker will get 75W RMS)
@@rockfordfosgate THANKS ALOT i will keep you posted on the setup
WRONG! Balanced and differential inputs are both different from each other, so there is no balanced-differential inputs. Second, the differential inputs require the source unit to also output the same differential out; otherwise, it doesn't do anything.
Hi RobHTech, We wouldn't miss the opportunity to AGREE with you that Balanced and Differential are two different functions. You must come from the Home Audio and/or Pro Audio world, right?
Rockford Fosgate's combination of the name is the proper way to describe our input circuitry. The inputs on the R2 amplifiers are truly balanced. Balanced differential allows us to accept both single ended and differential input signals. Without the balanced part we would have terrible performance with line-level in.
Balanced refers to equal high input impedance on both + and - input (center pin and shield.). Differential refers to the capability of the amp to accept differential inputs (speaker level).
You get better common mode noise rejection (alternator noise) whether your running speaker-level or single-ended line level in with the differential input. The balanced function prevents ground loops in the system due to the negative input being high impedance. This is a huge benefit when running line-level in.
@@rockfordfosgate Thank very much for the prompt reply.
Yes. I started out in home audio and went up from there and ultimately ended up in the car world ... where some things are obviously different. But my brain always reverts to home/PA/concert systems.
I'm watching a Five Start Car Stereo episode about the R2/Prime. The input sensitivity for low level is up to 4V. My Pioneer HU pre-outs are rated to 4V, but on dyno testing, the pre-outs went up to 5V. If that's the case, would I need to run the HU pre-outs in but switch the amp to high-level inputs, or just keep it on the low-level setting and adjust gain?
@@RobHTech Ah, great! Glad to have an educated home audio guy. I personally came from our Pro Audio division (Hafler) back in the early 90's, so I can understand where you're coming from.
Yes, Dean and Fernando did a great job on the R2 review. The low-level is spec'd at 150 mV - 4V and the high-level at 450 mV - 12 V. If you're not doing any Gain Overlap, then you should be fine with the low-level. However if you're going to run +5 dB Gain Overlap to get a reasonable amount of SPL from the system, you'll have plenty of range on the amplifier's gain control to do so. If you feel that's not giving you enough range, then you can use the high-level inputs... just be sure the Auto Remote Turn-On switch is OFF. -Eric R.
@@rockfordfosgate Ya but, I compare things today to the loudness wars of the 90s, when we were building all sorts of stuff.
Are today's class Ds really as good at mids/highs as call AB? And, if tech is to the point that Ds are of such quality is AB, then why wouldn't tech for AB have advanced as well, thus making AB still of higher quality sound?
Thoughts? I think I'm going to do the P600 4ch
@@RobHTech Richard Clark and Dave Navone kinda put Gain Overlap into Car Audio and since the 90's I've been teaching how to properly implement it. IMHO, no, Class-D is not equivalent as Class-AB. You may definitely want to stick with the Punch Series since most of those use Class-AB topologies.
China or USA? Are made it this amplifiers?
All Rockford Fosgate products are designed, engineered, and tested in Tempe, Arizona, USA. We do however use contract manufacturing with companies around the world that put the pieces together. One thing we DON'T do is buy a product from another company and slap our logo on it.
