Thank you Brandon for your considerate idea. Unfortunately, demand is very low for an 8-channel amplifier. We say this because when we released the Punch 360.6 6-channel amplifier, we didn't sell many, despite promises that it would be a hot seller. Part of developing a custom product is you need to be able to recoup your investment. People will say that's being greedy ... but it's not ... it's actually being financially responsible so you can continue to survive and build the next great thing. We work very hard here in Arizona to develop unique products with a high level of performance and unique technology. Performance is the #1 request we consistently get from fanatics, and we'll continue to do our best to pack as much performance and technology into each model released. Thank you for being a part of those fanatics that push us to develop those next great products.
You need anywhere from 60W up to 300W per speaker to drive them. These are very high sensitivity speakers so they are not "power hungry". If you are just running 2 speakers and nothing else on the boat, you could do either of these: M2-200X2 (minimum) rockfordfosgate.com/products/details/m2-200x2/ PM500X2 (ideal) rockfordfosgate.com/products/details/pm500x2/
You can use (1) M2-300X4 amplifier for all 4 speakers. It's rated to produce 50 Watts x 4 @ 4Ω, but real dynamic power is 70W per channel, which is plenty of power for those speakers.
It doesn't have a fan or visible ventilation ports (like the Kenwood XR901-5 does), how could not be overheated?...specialy if you install it under a car seat or a closed space
This is our 3rd generation of Prime Series amplifiers, so we've taken previous data to make subsequent improvements to the operation of the circuitry and heat dissipation technologies. These utilize our MEHSA 4 substrate that efficiently pulls heat away from the MOSFETs so the "engine" runs cooler. They also utilize Class-D topology so they run cooler than your typical Class-AB amplifier. Regardless of what amplifier you use, ANY amplifier installed in a closed space should have *some* sort of ventilation. Keep in mind, fan cooled amplifiers are not immune to this because the fan will simply recirculate hot air if it's in a closed space.
Sorry we missed your question.... the M2-8H speakers are rated to handle 300 Watts RMS. A great amp is the Punch PM600X4. Although its continuous power is 75 Watts x 4 @ 4-Ohm, it produces much more and should be fine for these speakers. Keep in mind, you don't need to apply 300 Watts to these speakers for them to sound loud since their sensitivity rating is so high. You can find out more info on this amp here: www.rockfordfosgate.com/products/details/pm600x4/
We have yet to hear about plans for CM/BF and don't participate in Prime Day. However, all sales are always sent announced in our newsletter, posted on our website, and promoted on our Facebook & Instagram channels.
Too bad there are none available anywhere. I bought a P1000x5 6 months ago and it never came in with no information when it will be back in stock, then or now in the 7th month... I purchased a 3000$ system in March of 2020 an I still haven't heard it ...
Unfortunately, the pandemic has hit a lot of companies hard because everyone has been forced to stay home. When people get bored, we want to work on projects, so demand for product blew-out inventory plans that a lot of companies had. We are doing everything possible to get product back into the pipeline, and we appreciate fanatics like you for your patience. Question ... did the dealer outright make you purchase all the product up front, or did they simply request a "deposit" to reserve your place in line for the product?
@@rockfordfosgate Here is the saddest part. I am a medical courrier. I drive 300- 800 miles every day, 7 days a week. Mostly carring Covid-19 test from Lab to lab. when I bought it, it was in stock. I took it in to be installed and... The unit had an issue and could not be installed. It was on sale ( it isn't anymore)and it was on order for a new one, that never came. And since March I am painfully aware, all day, 8-16 hours a day, 7 days a week. That it isn't in my car and no word from anyone when if ever, I will get it. It is 4am and I have to go to work now and be aware about it for another 16 hours/800 miles.
Thank you for that information. Crutchfield is a great, reliable dealer. For the P1000X5, we have production quantities being shipped to dealers with back-orders in October and November. Please email me at (ce@rockfordcorp.com) so we can continue the conversation privately without revealing any of your personal details. -Eric R.
Braces and a ball cap on a grown man? Not knocking braces, I have had them and thankful. But I am a grown man and would never wear a ball cap if I was in a professional setting like making a video, just curious the demo they looking at?
You should really crawl back under the bridge you pulled yourself out from. Someone rocking their company’s brand and wanting to better their smile is a bad thing?
FYI - A valueless comment like that combined with a user name of “Top Gun” smacks of someone desperate to be perceived as powerful and important. Sorry you didn’t get enough hugs as a kid, but being an anonymous a$$hat on TH-cam is not a great solution. Try harder.

Very happy with mine. Just got it installed in my Rzr today. It’s amazing! And it feels very tough and durable
Great! Glad you are happy with the amplifier and thanks for sharing your feedback with other fanatics!
Exelente
Thanks for your feedback Jorge!
I don’t know why RF doesn’t just drop an 8 channel. 125 x 8 (4ohm) and bridgeable to 250 x 4 (4ohm). That would just solve everything.

What amp would I need to power a pair of M2-8 speakers and a pair of m2-8h speakers?
You need anywhere from 60W up to 300W per speaker to drive them. These are very high sensitivity speakers so they are not "power hungry". If you are just running 2 speakers and nothing else on the boat, you could do either of these:
M2-200X2 (minimum)
rockfordfosgate.com/products/details/m2-200x2/
PM500X2 (ideal)
rockfordfosgate.com/products/details/pm500x2/
So I would need 2 amps M2-300x4 for the new M2-8hb speakers because I have 2 sets of them and I guess I would bridge them for each pair?
You can use (1) M2-300X4 amplifier for all 4 speakers. It's rated to produce 50 Watts x 4 @ 4Ω, but real dynamic power is 70W per channel, which is plenty of power for those speakers.

@@rockfordfosgate Thank you, this is very helpful
I want to run 4 rfm2 8h speakers but don't know what amp to use

Do you guys have sales for prime day and black Friday?

@@rockfordfosgate sounds good thanks for the quick response, I'm planning on getting a dual p3 sub and 4 T1650s when the time is right.
@@survivingsociety8592 P3 12" is our best selling subwoofer and the T1650's are amazing speakers. Your system will rock!
@@rockfordfosgate make sure your dual p3 and T1650s go on sale for black Friday 😏😉 lol jk and thanks I'm excited to get the system going
