BigDWiz Can you try a Sony XM-1S I have one I want to know what it actually does it seems like it put out power plus I think it would be cool to see a XPLOD doing some work
For sure. They haven’t been around all these years by luck or accident. I have two of these amps and they are BEASTS!! They’ve always had some of the best, or the best, amps. I’m not a huge fan of their current subs. But really liked the older versions
I have been searching everywhere for an amp test for this amp and thanks to you I finally was able to see the potential of this amp. Now I know for sure that I am going to buy it.
When I was younger it was all about having the longest amp. Now that I'm old I like these amps with the small footprint. Thanks for testing out the smaller amps!
Thanks for testing this amp Big D. I've been running 2 of these with 4x 12" P3's subs for about 2 years and it's such a great sounding setup. I'm still amazed how good it sounds and how loud it gets!
I remember going to RTTI training back in 2001 and they never miss anything. Our instructor was the one and only Mark Fakuda. Awesome company. I still run the old George Foreman grill looking amps linked together to look like one huge amp.
Nice! I've noticed your videos are looking even more professional. Kudos for wanting to ensure your audience is seeing quality! I always enjoy watching!
I just love watching the dyno runs BigD. I've always been a big fan of Rockford Fosgate. Every system I've heard that run RF amps are all killers. Keep up the good work. 'I'm outta heeeeeeeere!!'
Awesome, I was getting ready 2 buy two of these , one for each of my subs, but was unsure of the true power, thanks BigDWiz for this video/info. 👍🏼 you the man, Old School !
I'm About to cop this amp, thank you so much for this video and you review on amazon for this. I wanted to be 100% sure I wasn't going to be lied to by the manufacturers by how much RMS an amp can put out.
This really puts the quality of Rockford fosagte out there. I've considered buying this amp but I went with the prime 500 watt amp. I am not disappointed with it at all for 130$. With a birthsheet of 637 watts I would love to see what it would do on your Dyno.
Thank you thank you BiG D, this amp has been on my mind the last few weeks but no1 had any recent tests. Back in 2001 I had two HE2 12s on a 800.2 with the old skewl Rockford headunit. Best sounding multi purpose system I ever built.
BigD you're always reading my mind or something!! I JUST bought this amp a week ago, I was looking through Ebay and saw a new listing for a used one $99 +$20 shipping!! No Joke!! I snagged it immediately. Talk about MEGA BUDGET!! It didn't come with a bass knob but I was upgrading from the r500x1d which is the little brother to this one so it was just a plug and play swap. Before I installed it I opened it to take a look inside and everything looked pristine and thankfully the amp works great and has been bumpin without issue @1ohm tuned with a DD1! Unfortunately my car only runs at 14.1v cold and 13.8v once it's warmed up but it's still shaking my car apart!! Thanks for the vid BigD!!!
Thanks so much for doin this one! Ive never doubted RF but whenever you come across a "budget line" theres always a little doubt. Shouldnt have even doubted them. Im 100% grabbin this amp now. Itll go perfect with my 2 punch p3 12s. Thanks again Bid D!
I have used one of these for the past 2 years on a single JL 10" in a ported enclosure. Never had it cut out or overheat and has really good sound quality for such a small footprint.
Thank you brother. Just grabbed this for two massive audio toro 10's. I watch all your videos obviously but I really needed this video. I know this amp may not be enough but I feel like it'll run those two 10's well enough. It was only $240 new on Amazon so I jumped on it.
So glad I rewatched this, didn't remember you doing the .8 ohms. I just bought some L7's that ended up being 2 ohm dvcs, so I'm sure I'm right around that .8
I did an install for a friend a few months ago, glad I recommended the Prime R500-1D (along with a single dual voice coil 12" Rockford shallow mount sub and box - a very nicely matched little package) - it's a very solid work horse system for his P/U. I'm very happy with how that install went, and I know he's ecstatic with it. :-)
I got the Prime R500.1d beating on a couple of CT Audio 10"'s wired up for 2 ohms and this thing hums right along at 480 watts. Birth sheet that came with it said it was tested to 670 watts at 1 ohm. Love how compact the amp is, makes the install a breeze. Whole setup jiggles my car around like jello. Super impressed for how it sounds considering the amp was only $115 and the subs $50 a piece.
I accidentally put the ground in the 12volt and 12volt in the ground 😣 and smelled but rehooked it and it still works !!! Tank amp !!! Thnks for the Dyno!!
This would have been a great amp to test the idea I had a few weeks back about testing if having a bass knob connected can produce the same output power to an amp that doesn't have the bass knob connected would really love to see if that actually makes a difference, keep up the great work mate loving the videos
Thanks bigD you just helped me out i was telling my friend it does it's power and more good little amp for the money keep up the good work basshead forever
So I've noticed the last two episodes you have used GOT EEMM guys UA-cam clip. I expect that from Amplified and other Shenanigans from that channel that's why I watch it for comedy. I respect your Channel not only as a UA-camr but as a car audio enthusiastic. Your Sanford and Son references are what makes your Channel original as does Amplified with the atom bomb and got eemm guy. Live well and BASS ON🔊🔊🔊
I have a prime 500, 250, and 250x4. Great budget amps, hard to beat. The kicker cxa's are nice as well. Got a 1200 watt cxa as well and it's freaking tough too. Two thumbs up from me Big D
Another thing that’s cool about RF is their 1 year warrenty. I mounted the amp upside down and when I wired it I didn’t compensate, and experienced a brief tuitorial in arch welding...realized what I had done called their tech line, They replaced it, that was Solid if them!!!
RF didn’t sponsor this vid, but it may appear that way. I’ve been a fanboy of their products since the 80’s and I’m SO glad to see they continue providing more than you expect!
I found one of these, a Kenwood 846 4 channel and a zx series kicker amp at a freaking scrap yard today. Tested and working flawlessly. All in very good condition. One man's junk,another man's treasure lol ✌️
This amp series is better than Pioneer’s already-competitive GM D class amps. They just about always outperform their specs with quality components inside. I’ve seen an awesome build where a single Prime amp powered 2x 6x9 coax speakers and 4x Rockford P2 subwoofers from a single amp and it was a monster (and the amp was like $250 which is amazing value for the output)
Rockford has always been my favorite. They sound great, there built right , they put out what they say and there customer service is one of the easiest to deal with. Wish they were still built merica but tis the day and age.
I use this on my two p3’s at 1 ohm gain at 60% tuned box 38 hz at 3.2 cf fosgates are underrated! I had 1,600 watts at 1 ohm load on em with ranges of 31-50 hertz tough stuff no clipping but did get hot.
I had a Crossfire c5 1700d amp on 10" Soundqubed Hdc3.1, ended up selling the Crossfire amp and was going to sell Sub too. Had a hard time because I no longer had a amp to demo the sub for a pontiental buyers. I ended up picking up one of these Rockford amps for $120 used just so I could demo the sub, then sell the amp after. I WAS super impressed with this amp that I'am keeping both NOW.. Lol.

I hit up the link. Hopefully it works, let me know. Thanks
RF is one of the few companies that's been around for years, to still take pride in their products. Great vid
So true!
AGREED!
I agree as well. I run a punch 1000.1bd on two under seat sundown E8's tuned to 32hz and it beats the hell out of those 8s and they love it.
What's better this one or the 1000 BD ?? Don't now which one to get
For sure. They haven’t been around all these years by luck or accident. I have two of these amps and they are BEASTS!! They’ve always had some of the best, or the best, amps. I’m not a huge fan of their current subs. But really liked the older versions
nice to know their IS a manufacturer you can still trust👍🙌🙌🙌thx BIG D!!!
Da truf!!
I have been searching everywhere for an amp test for this amp and thanks to you I finally was able to see the potential of this amp. Now I know for sure that I am going to buy it.
Glad my $250 purchase and hours of video editing could help 😊👍
When I was younger it was all about having the longest amp. Now that I'm old I like these amps with the small footprint. Thanks for testing out the smaller amps!
RF has always made some excellent amps. Awesome performance on this budget amp.
You said it bud 🤙
Budget?
Thanks for testing this amp Big D. I've been running 2 of these with 4x 12" P3's subs for about 2 years and it's such a great sounding setup. I'm still amazed how good it sounds and how loud it gets!
Wow impressive.
Thanks very much for testing this amp. Been pushing 4 8s in my single cab Silverado for over a year now.
I love all your UA-cam videos on dyno test on amplifier and also like that you open them up so people could see I salute you 100%
I own the 1200 and love it... thanks for the testing
I remember going to RTTI training back in 2001 and they never miss anything. Our instructor was the one and only Mark Fakuda. Awesome company. I still run the old George Foreman grill looking amps linked together to look like one huge amp.
Mark Fukuda a true legend
Nice! I've noticed your videos are looking even more professional. Kudos for wanting to ensure your audience is seeing quality! I always enjoy watching!
👌😊👍
WOW, Rockford is all power! Thank you for the vid Big D!!
Thanks for watching and commenting 😊🤙
I wouldn't expect anything less.
Great info, I’ve been thinking about this series from Rockford for a while. You answered a lot of questions for me.
I just love watching the dyno runs BigD. I've always been a big fan of Rockford Fosgate. Every system I've heard that run RF amps are all killers. Keep up the good work. 'I'm outta heeeeeeeere!!'

Thank you for covering this amp. I really like my Fosgate.
Rockford's budget stuff has always lived up to their name. And I see it continues to do so.
Hey BigDWiz. Was just on Amazon, your review is right after mine. Love this amp. Good videos man.
Awesome 😬🤙
My friend had a fosgate amp and 2 12s back in 2000 and I been hooked ever since
Rock solid!
Love this amp, it’s lasted me about a year already and still going strong 👍🏽
Awesome! Thanks for watching and commenting 🤙
Thanks for the video wiz. This little amp fits on the back wall of my pickup behind the seats and it bangs hard.
It is a nice amp!
BigD you're always reading my mind or something!! I JUST bought this amp a week ago, I was looking through Ebay and saw a new listing for a used one $99 +$20 shipping!! No Joke!!

Thanks for the vid BigD!!!
Super deal yo!!
I bought mine for $150 and it has the bass knob! I was worried about the amp till I saw this video
Thanks for doing this test! I really enjoy my R500.1D!!!
Glad you enjoyed 👌
Thanks so much for doin this one! Ive never doubted RF but whenever you come across a "budget line" theres always a little doubt. Shouldnt have even doubted them. Im 100% grabbin this amp now. Itll go perfect with my 2 punch p3 12s.
Thanks again Bid D!
👌😬👍
You have the best information on amps.
Great details about the amp BigDWiz...awesome work!
Thanks for watching and commenting 🤙
I’m taking delivery of a r500xd today. Gotta love punch amps. 👊🏾
I have used one of these for the past 2 years on a single JL 10" in a ported enclosure. Never had it cut out or overheat and has really good sound quality for such a small footprint.
Awesome amp for sure!
Thank you brother. Just grabbed this for two massive audio toro 10's.
I watch all your videos obviously but I really needed this video. I know
this amp may not be enough but I feel like it'll run those two 10's well
enough. It was only $240 new on Amazon so I jumped on it.
So glad I rewatched this, didn't remember you doing the .8 ohms. I just bought some L7's that ended up being 2 ohm dvcs, so I'm sure I'm right around that .8
Bigdwiz I'm loving the videos ,,keep up the awesome and dynos ..
Hell ya I’ve been waiting for this for weeks!!!
I’ve wanted to test this amp for a couple of years now...but the bullet and decided it was time...
Revisiting this video, I’m curious as how the punch line performs. Please test if possible. Thanks.
I did an install for a friend a few months ago, glad I recommended the Prime R500-1D (along with a single dual voice coil 12" Rockford shallow mount sub and box - a very nicely matched little package) - it's a very solid work horse system for his P/U. I'm very happy with how that install went, and I know he's ecstatic with it. :-)
Sometimes simple is best
In this case, simple was well outside his expectations of "a little" bump. ;-) But he's very happy with it, and that's what counts.
Did a similar setup in my truck, but I used 2 12" DVC shallow mount RFs with this 1200 amp. It's way more than enough for the subs.
Laremy81 That's cool!
The internals of this amp were marvelous.
I’m currently using the R 1200.1 in my Kenworth and I love it.
😬👍
as always very nice video. keep up the good work
Thanks brother 👌
I got this little amp it does push a lot of power 💥 for a small amp very happy with it.
Incredible power for the size!
I got the Prime R500.1d beating on a couple of CT Audio 10"'s wired up for 2 ohms and this thing hums right along at 480 watts. Birth sheet that came with it said it was tested to 670 watts at 1 ohm. Love how compact the amp is, makes the install a breeze. Whole setup jiggles my car around like jello. Super impressed for how it sounds considering the amp was only $115 and the subs $50 a piece.
Amazing how little you need to spend to get some great sound 👍
I accidentally put the ground in the 12volt and 12volt in the ground 😣 and smelled but rehooked it and it still works !!! Tank amp !!! Thnks for the Dyno!!
This would have been a great amp to test the idea I had a few weeks back about testing if having a bass knob connected can produce the same output power to an amp that doesn't have the bass knob connected would really love to see if that actually makes a difference, keep up the great work mate loving the videos
Bass knob controls gain on most amps now days, so no difference in power output
That is a really nice amp. Rockford does put out some very good amps.
Just bought me 1 from sonic pretty excited to hear this baby thump
Thanks bigD you just helped me out i was telling my friend it does it's power and more good little amp for the money keep up the good work basshead forever
👌😬👍
The prime line is a great set of amps. I have the 500 watt prime amp and it’s great especially since I bought it for $100 new.
Had a punch 45 back in the day, that thing kicked ass.
I got that same amp on a set of ps3 absolutely amazing and my electrical is stock I usually dont drop below 13.6
Bro where do u set the sonic filter at i don't want to blow my shyt
Thank you for your videos. It's the reason Y I bought this particular model. U saved me alot of money!!!
Glad to help 👌
I ran this amp but the version two at half ohm on stock electrical and it took it like a champ
So I've noticed the last two episodes you have used GOT EEMM guys UA-cam clip. I expect that from Amplified and other Shenanigans from that channel that's why I watch it for comedy. I respect your Channel not only as a UA-camr but as a car audio enthusiastic.

I use that clip for my Dyno teasers. I’ll try to find something more unique to use. I’m a big dummy for sure, so that clip will never go away...
IMPRESSIVE! gotta love good ole rockford fosgate!
Yessir, never fails to impress!
Ive been waiting on a dyno for this amp. I purchased one for my subs
I have a prime 500, 250, and 250x4. Great budget amps, hard to beat. The kicker cxa's are nice as well. Got a 1200 watt cxa as well and it's freaking tough too. Two thumbs up from me Big D
Thanks for watching and commenting 😎
BigDWiz keep putting them out and I'll keep watching brotha. Love your channel!
Impressive !! RF still holds the crown in a world of high power budget amps.The Build quality is top notch.
👌😬👍
Big D, I just wanna smoke a blunt with ya, listen to some old school bumpin!! Keep up the good work man.
Great video, I appreciate this!!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I bought this amp December 2016
And Rockford never disappoints me solid amp never even gets hot
Awesome. Lots of positive feedback here. Love it 🤙
BigDWiz
Do you think this will push 10 inch orion hcca 2 ohm wired to 1 ohm ?
Another thing that’s cool about RF is their 1 year warrenty. I mounted the amp upside down and when I wired it I didn’t compensate, and experienced a brief tuitorial in arch welding...realized what I had done called their tech line, They replaced it, that was Solid if them!!!
Thank Big D, been waiting on this test for a while. Thats typical fosgate great power for what you pay.
RF didn’t sponsor this vid, but it may appear that way. I’ve been a fanboy of their products since the 80’s and I’m SO glad to see they continue providing more than you expect!
Nice. I'm thinking bout getting one now
I have the 500.1D and love it. Keep up the great videos
Awesome brother, thanks for watching and commenting 🤙
Rockford just never disappointed me. They always had me saying "this things putting out way more than whats rated". Awesome company 👍
This!!
Rockford Fosgate kicks ass. I've always been a big fan.
Excellent channel! More RF tests please!
In the plans already 👌
@@wal Thanks a lot! :)
I have this amp on a pair of 12w3v3s at 2ohms. It is easily one of the best amps I have ever had.
I have always combined fosgate amps with JL subs.
smart guy
would love to see a test of the 500 w version. very impressive
I found one of these, a Kenwood 846 4 channel and a zx series kicker amp at a freaking scrap yard today. Tested and working flawlessly.
All in very good condition.
One man's junk,another man's treasure lol ✌️
Thats some good work there , excellent Rockford
And some other company is named “Boss” 🤷♂️
Was up Big D Rockford Fosgate doing good!! But I still like my old school RF amps good video take care
Most of mine are still working too!
Dope D.
Let's see some Test on the Audiopipe APMI Super Budget line. We've seen APCL , but not the mini, cheapest line
This amp series is better than Pioneer’s already-competitive GM D class amps. They just about always outperform their specs with quality components inside. I’ve seen an awesome build where a single Prime amp powered 2x 6x9 coax speakers and 4x Rockford P2 subwoofers from a single amp and it was a monster (and the amp was like $250 which is amazing value for the output)
No surprise, I love my 300x4. Sounds fantastic. Birthsheet 428w & stays cold. What more could you ask for?
the MOSFET clamps look nice also!
Great video
I have this amp with 2 Rockford p2 12s this bumps crazy
Thanks BigDWiz. Solid numbers and over 80% efficiency. Hard to argue with those results.
I believe it’s the most efficient I’ve tested at 1 ohm
BigDWiz I bet it sounds good doing it! I miss my early 2000's punch bd1500.1
Very nice! I wish it had high level inputs, I'd probably spring for the R750-1D, otherwise it's a perfect fit for the install I'm planning.
Big D I'd like to see you test some TI-2 Phoenix Gold preferably the 1000.4 and the 1300.1. Thanks love the footage!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
This looks like the best amp to compliment my t1d412 sub
I found mine at a pawn shop for 260, love this amp almost as much as the Orion 3k the big blow hard.
Hell Yeah the gain goes up to 11!!!!!! Im definitely buying this amp.....Thanks BIG D WIZ💯💯💯
Yeah boi
Thank you this is very helpful
👌😊🤙
I love the video!!! Thanks Big d.
😎👍
I just upgraded my system in my Sierra crew cab, I just put one of these on 4 12” JL Audio W1V3 at 1ohm, holy! Slams pretty hard.
Rockford has always been my favorite. They sound great, there built right , they put out what they say and there customer service is one of the easiest to deal with. Wish they were still built merica but tis the day and age.
These amps are awesome. Reliable power above spec all day long. Tough as nails.
Rockford has always been a leader, yes you pay a bit more, but don’t you always for the good stuff? 😊
I use this on my two p3’s at 1 ohm gain at 60% tuned box 38 hz at 3.2 cf fosgates are underrated! I had 1,600 watts at 1 ohm load on em with ranges of 31-50 hertz tough stuff no clipping but did get hot.
I had a Crossfire c5 1700d amp on 10" Soundqubed Hdc3.1, ended up selling the Crossfire amp and was going to sell Sub too. Had a hard time because I no longer had a amp to demo the sub for a pontiental buyers. I ended up picking up one of these Rockford amps for $120 used just so I could demo the sub, then sell the amp after. I WAS super impressed with this amp that I'am keeping both NOW.. Lol.
Keep'em coming
I've seen a couple of these amps running at 1ohm and they barely get warm to the touch. They seem to be very efficient for its size and power.
I just bought one I’m going to put it to the test
@@vernoncheek9520 nice im about to sell mine.
i loved it but im moving up in power
@@vernoncheek9520 Hey how is the amp treating you these days? This is the model I have on my radar for my friends truck.
@@mburgiful Hey did you end up selling that amp?
Channel has grown nicely D-Wiz..
Aiming for 100k bro 😬👍
Love Rockford Fosgate amps!!! I have the 500 watt of this series and DAMN, it shakes my Jeep! My car is is rattling apart!
I’m from the old school and 500 watts was a lot of power back then, still is when used with efficient subs. Plus no need to upgrade electrical
Hey big D can you review the walmart brand kicker zx line like the 250 or 500 watt?
Always will have a spot for fosgate amps.... quality through on through...
I like that knob more than the $40 knob for the power series, I've replaced 3 now and rarely touch it
Can't argue with that at all!!
No sir, rated honestly, compact size, includes bass remote and is affordable...that’s what we like 😊👍
