      meade916 can you possibly run a test on a 1999 bd1000a1 trying to find some numbers for this pawn shop find it's currently in my trunk running a pair of alpine type s 12's in a alpine sealed box. Pushing them nicely at a 4ohm load but I'm wanting to find out if anyone is pushing this amp to 1ohm thanks Joe T Toronto Ontario Canada

    I'm betting it does close to 2kW at 1 ohm mono, dynamic! Wait until you see my test of the 1998 Power 500.2 and 1999 Power 1100a2....BEAST MODE!! Great vid as always

      +Alex Grace 1 ohm mono on a stereo amp is 1/2 ohm load per channel. This is what I was referring to

    i have a rockford fosgate p550.2 amop that went short on the left channel. if anything is hooked up to that channel it will blow the fuse right away. the right channel works great. i took the amp appart and didnt see anything burnt or discolored. what would be the problem?

    @jamal2490able 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is why I like Rockford amps. They rated it 500wrm when it really does 900 certified. Any other company wouldve rated it 1000wrms. This is why Rockford amps lasts so long, they don't advertise maxed out wattage. Rockford for the win!!!

  • @LuxorVan
    @LuxorVan 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have a Punch 500-2 and it has the same amount of transistors for the output section and havs 4 caps instead of the 2 and the T model can handle 2 ohm mono loads but mine is only rated for a 4 ohm load! The only difference I see is that it has two more power supply transistors than the punches 4! I still don't understand why Rockford always has extra spaces for Transistors that usually aren't drilled on the board and on this one it has a spot for 2 more caps as well! I had a Blade technologies M252 and modified it with help from a blade designer to be a m502 because I found out they shared the same board! I know on some older Rockfords you could modify them and a guy on youtube does the modifications and lists the Parts needed! But I changed the N channel output transistors from 28n15's to 46n15's!

    • @meade916
      @meade916  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      cool story bro. But RF amps go into protect at 16v. Since you aren't running 14v (that charge at 16.8) or 16v batteries (that charge at 18.5) i am not sure where you get the 16v from. The RF amps can be tricked into playing higher than 16v but that don't mean they are made for it. Post up your system i can't wait to see how you came up with your figures. Perhaps charging your 12v batteries at 16? thats dumb as hell but really the only other way other than using higher voltage batts.

  • @chrisbalkissoon9381

Claims to be 2-ohm stable, but even running at 4 ohms pushing a dinky little 8" no-name woffer, it overheats and shuts off constantly, and has since it was new. It's been sitting on a shelf for the past six years or so. Ya want it? :D
