I just come here to see wire the amp in every video and make those clean amp racks. Love those.
Great video! I just purchased this amp for my F-150 setup. I had already replaced the factory speakers in the front doors a couple years ago with RF 1683 Punch 6 x 8's, so wanted to stick with that brand. Will add them in the rear doors also, along with an under-the-seat woofer from RF, too. Having them professionally installed in about a week. Can't wait!
too bad you guys are so far away. I'd like to get my car stereos tuned by you guys keep up the good work
These new rockford compact amps are my favorite amps out right now
Not to be a Debbie downer, but for the guy who wanted to run all four channels individually. Like 4 ohm components on the front two channels and 2 coaxials for rear fill on the rear 2 channels is better off getting the 300/4
300/4 does 84rms x 4 at 4ohms
400/4 does 50rms x 4 at 4 ohms.
I get the obvious flexibility the 400 offers. But majority of people out there just getting started in car audio are going to want to run components on front channels and coaxials in the rear on the rear channels
My apologies if I misinterpreted the amp ratings. But thought I’d give my opinion.
Awesome video like always. Love your channel!!
The3rd ERA thanks for putting that out there👌🏽
I really loved this! A direct comparison review gives tons more info than an isolated review. Well done! I look forward to lots more like this!!!
Great video! Looks very promising, hopefully they will release a more powerful 5ch with a bass knob. The only issue I saw in the video was the idle current. They should be around 2-3 Amps, not 23A. Keep up the great vids!
Yeah, That was a part they asked us to add.
New fan here. I really like the way you guys make your videos. Great for anybody, but recommendable for those who are super new, and want a great way to fill in the information given by the dealers (sometimes none)
So rock on you 2.
You know your up too early when your the first to view a 5 star Dean video.
That little amp packs a punch! I have one in my daughters power wheels
Great video -All good valuable information and the best; no-time-waster in non-sense!!
Hey Dean! If you remember me and remember my Rockford collection you know I have a little love for Rockford LOL. I have 2, of the PBR300X4 and 3 of the PBR300X1.
I swap my amplifiers out quite a bit in my truck because I just simply love hearing and seeing different things. I have been so excited about these amps and you have gave me the confidence to sell the 5 I have and go to 2 of these. I can do this now since these are 2 ohm stable. I can use 1.5 amplifiers for midbass, mid-range, and highs. Then the last channel can handle the subwoofers.
My processing is handled by Dayton Audio's DSP408. It is a great unit and offers an excellent price along with tons of adjustments and features.
Just another great video and most successful test! The LAB Works!
I live in Texas and am doing a 8 in a s-10 pickup. Good to know it should sound good. Bright star is doing the box for me . Thanks yall are great
Very pro review, I'm looking at this amplifer and also the Pioneer GM-D1004...
lol just realized, both Five Star Car Stereo and SoundmanCA are on youtube making car audio stuff. And both of them have one white dude and one mex dude!!!
Both channels go way back.

Nice little amp great review.
I have a Walmart Dual brand Class D amp 236 watts on a JL W0v3. I amazed at that small fit in hand amp pushing that sub for hrs!!
I've been using the alpine ktp445 units for years now and can attest to the quality of these small class d amps. I'll give the Rockford stuff a look moving forward.
When you were adjusting the gain was the volume at max volume? If so does that mean the stereo volume will have to be high to get a good volume from the speakers? Love the videos by the way. Keep up the good work!
You guys should put in the new kicker key amp active and see how their dsp time allignment auto eq works for you.
I actually just put this in and at 50x4 it sounds better and louder then the prime 75x4 500x4 amp
Love to see you test the JL Audio MX 500/4 and MX 500/1 :)
So would you prefer the PRB400X4D or the AudioControl ACM-300.4? I'm shopping for a compact 4 channel amp to power two Polk MM6502 components and two MM652 coaxials. Is either going to put out enough RMS power to get the best sound quality out of these speakers? Thanks! Awesome videos!
I'd love to see you guys put a system in a jetski. That'd be an awfully crazy build.

This amp would be cool in a golf cart. Two PM262s flush mounted up front and two PM262 wakeboard towers behind.
7:23 hey guys, looking at the inside of the new amp, it has 4 transistor looking thingies on the top left where the PBR300 doesn't, is that noise filters? I'm worried about noise, and am trying to decide between this compact 4 channel 400W and the regular Punch P400X4, but I really really like this one and want to make sure it's a top class D design with noise filters.
Was there any major heat problems with it?
What if I don't have a CD player?
I want to get the new version but my car doesn’t have a CD player. How would my installer tune it?
I am planning on putting these speakers in the doors of a Crew Cab Ford F-150 truck. Pioneer TS-A1374R 300 watts & TS-A1684R rated at 350 watts . I owned them before & they can handle what they're rated without distorting. I have Eclipse mid & tweets & also Fosgate mids & tweets. I just don't want to do the whole separates thing anymore. What would be a solid, dependable, clean, economical cool running 4 channel power amp to push these speakers?
Can you PLEASE do a video on HOW TO ADJUST YOUR AMPS WHILE USING A DSP... I’m running a DSR1 with my factory radio & im having an issue with adjusting my gains & setting the crossovers on the amps. Please help!!,
Great video. Thanks. I'm curious what your thoughts are on the Rockford Fosgate Power T1000X5ad
I own a pair of Pioneer TS-A1374R 300 watts & TS-A1684R rated at 350 watts . I owned them before & they can handle what they're rated without distorting. I have Eclipse mid & tweets & also Fosgate mids & tweets. I just don't want to do the whole separates thing anymore. What would be an economical, powerful 4 channel amp to power these?
Can you bridge the inputs for a second amp input
I just installed one of these in my truck. What’s the acceptable operating temperature for these amps? Mine gets quite hot. It’s just sitting on the trans tunnel between the front seats, I plow snow for 7-8 hours at a time, it gets so hot I can barely hold my hand on it, even when not cranking the music.
Dean I miss first thing in the morning your videos on Monday’s Got hooked 😂
Rockford it’s probably the company that has had the smallest power house seance the 90’s right until the big T ugly looking
Yeah sorry about the Money show, it will be back next week.
When are you guys going to look at the new vibe microamps!
What if you r car don’t have cd player?
I have a 2018 versa note.radio using 2ohm speakers.can I use this amp at 2 ohms and then do I need 2 ohm speaker or can I use 4 ohm speaker without an issue. Great review thank you for your time
You need a amp dino to test the amps dean.
You guys should test the morel mps 5.950 amp I just bought one and interested in a proper review
10:00 what is this process?
I’ve got two 6 1/2‘s and four 6 x 9’s I want to install on a motorcycle. All 6 speakers are 4 ohm impedance.
Can I run the two 6 1/2 and one output at four ohms and the four 6 x 9‘s wired in parallel at two ohms in the second output with this amp?
How much power do you get from this amp in 2 channel mode and where would I find installation instructions for 2 channel mode?
Hey guys I’m installing new tweeters in stock 2017 Civic touring and it has the amplified “premium” sound. I believe the amp is doing the crossovering since I don’t see the capacitor on the tweeter itself like the lower models. So I should be okay not connecting my new tweeter inline crossover correct? What’s your input?
Hey guys,
When you set up the sub, shouldn’t you be doing a 40hz test tone to set up that side??
Soooo what if you have a newer car and it doesn’t play CDs... how would you tune the amp?
Rip the tracks on a computer as MP3 or WMA and transfer to a USB drive. Then play off the USB.
2fast4all duh why didn’t I think of that thanks man good lookin out👌🏽
Hey guys, you know if that amp has a noise filter like other high end class D amps? How is the sound quality? I have to decide between this model and the Class AB Punch 400x4 normal model, I prefer the smaller but not if it's a sacrifice of sound quality.
They did come a long way right ?
These are perfect for my application (need small amps to go with my MiniDSP in a BM E46 Touring (Wagon). I need two of them for 8 channel (active three way front, plus stereo rear fill). I can't seem to find them in the UK though! There are loads of the older 300x4d's though.
Does anyone know where I can buy one with fast delivery to the UK??
what makes something high level input? Im using the RCA jacks from my head unit. does that count?
How is sounds on RCA
I hope Fernando beats that amp up and gives us a honest review of it I know allot of the older Rf amps would overheat and shut down, that being said Rockford is a amazing company that has great designs for amps I hope with the class d it will help with the heat and shutdowns on the smaller amps
Can this amp run say the front 2 channels@ 4 ohms and the rear 2 channels @ 2ohm loads at the same time?
where can i purchase the wiring set for the 300x4? Purchased used and didn't have the power plug of other set of wires.
From any authorized rockford dealer
That Idle current sounds high?
Matt Vanourney
Yeah😂 x10 error
Can i used to install a car to or not
Why not?
Do my Vette Dean lol
Hello 👋
Answer the messenger 😞
Good test. Thanks.
How did you wore the sub to the small 4 speaker wire connection that comes with the amp??
