My homeboy had a 500×2. Bad ass amp I had a 1000×1.d myself....
Would you like to test a Orion Hcca 1200.2
You said 3000x2 multiple times during the video but this is a 300x2
Williston Audio Labs, Big D did you get my email?
7:30 Did you unwrap it and then dyno a different amp?
Best part of waking up is some Rockford in the trunk!!
Makes it Betta fo sho
That was dope👍
😂
@@wal did you not get the email that I sent you? Or do you have another email address other than the OSS address that I need to redirect my email to?
Hahaha... He took the Foldgers commercial to another level!
That's why I still run old RF amps.....you just can't beat quality!
Still using my 601S.... prolly 1999-2000 purchase date
Been needing to find someone to fix my punch 500/2 I refuse to separate with it, it was so clean
@@RedFoxTails seriously never sell that bro
I dont plan to
Brandon Crocker holler @Mark Cannady @ Anything Audio in Wendell, N. Carolina he should be able to fix your Fosgate amp for you. Phone 919-400-0195 super nice guy. Idk where you live but you can ship it to him & he will ship it back to you. If you really want to get it repaired.
Thats what makes rockford stand out is the underratings Derek. This makes it awesome amp to get for the money. Thanks for sharing the dyno tests of this awesome amp.
Niceeee! Rockford has a huge fan base just because of that, its ratings vs output is always on point.
Thats why I have always ran Rockford stuff the black and grind series are still my favorite as far as looks ever for a car amp.
👌😬👍
Never forget it. We ran a total of 16 RF P2 12's off the one amp as a 'Wall of Bass'. Each pair in the RF ported box. It was stupid loud inside our small 700ft2 shop showroom.
Sold a ton of the 2005 Punch amps and a few of the power. I would have made some different sub suggestions if I had known they were THAT underrated! Great video, thanks BigD
Great video! I love me some Rockford videos!!!! Keep em coming man!
Oh glad to see this here, I have one of these, and I'm in the process of repairing it.
I love the BDCP Power series. My favorite all around amps ever made. They have very, very good SQ and the constant power thing just pumps out the SPL. I haven’t had the chance to listen to the newer Power series amps, but I bet they’re even better.
I just picked one of these up a month ago BRAND NEW for 150$ 😝
Wow that’s a deal!
Where at? Any more available?
It was on ebay I happen to see it right when it was posted and it was a "buy it now" 👍
congrats
@@charlespetersonii6989 Same thing happened to me with a Soundstream Rubicon 302 for $75 and a Rubicon 502 for $125. I saw them when they were posted on a Saturday night, they were Buy It Now I and snagged them immediately. This was back in 2007 but both were BNIB.
I used to have two of these back in 2006 2007 range. Powered my mids and highs. Excellent amp
Till today I still hold on to my punch 800a this amp came with the flip chip for frequency controls and it’s just item I wouldn’t part with. Back in late 90 and early 2000 these where so underrated in comparison to others of that time such as Phoenix Gold M series or precision power I’d like to see a vid done on the M50 from Phoenix Gold
I’ve got a P6002 I’ve been beating up for years. Showing a clean 53-54 volts on the Oscope. Running at 2ohm lately w (2) 12s. I might send it to you when I’m done w it. This thing is bulletproof.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Wow that's some crazy number for 50x2 amplifier! Rockford made some amazing history with that amps power
i have watched this video a few times. never gets old!!
The one I unboxed in this video is the one you got! I hated to take off the plastic, but wanted to show people the original experience 👌
@@wal its a good feeling to open one for the first time. I have a T8004 that was nib was🤣 just had to peal that plastic off!! And thanks again! Already had the hx2 flexin with the T3002
I truly enjoy your channel bro. Thanks.
Love your videos Big D!!!
Love your comment Billy B!
Thanks for the review
that explains why the want so much for any of the used power series amps
That was a great time, I had 2 P3002s and 2 P8002 in my 1990 Astro van bumping a nice little system back then.
I had an R.F. power series 800A2 amp from 1996 or 98 i believe, and I never knew why it hit so damn hard on any sub/subs hooked to it but this video explains why...good engineering from thoughtful people who stood behind and believed in their product, Where are al those people now.
Man I miss that amp. Pushed a 12in P3 with it. Was so smooth, and hit hard. Great combo.
Awesome content Mr Big D 👍🏻 love the channel bro ✌🏻
Man your editing skillz are blowing up 🔥 You really know how to run this TH-cam game..
I had the T8004 and the T20001bD, the 8004 burned my damn hand every time I got near it (yes, literally). The 20001 cooked my most favorite sub (Eclipse SW8200😥). Bloody animal amplifiers
My T3002 kept blowing. It is still in my closet. I had it in a truck back in 2007 pushing two JL 12" subs. One channel is fried. I want to get it repaired one day.
Amazing!
Would like to see a newer Punch amp tested like the P300x1 or P500x1BD
Still have mine as well as the 8004 and 1000bd. Love them
Great video!!! I made a milkshake and me and my wife watched your video. Thank you. Nice Sunday afternoon surprise.
I apologize to your wife 🤣
Holy shaaat ! Spat my water out at the first power reading.
😜👍
lol yup especially when it hit 1007 💀☄️🤓
I spat my jizz on the last power rating!
You gotta love Rockford. All their amps i have seen on dynos are underrated. Great company
That's the Rockford I was raised on. Yeah boyy
Raised on beef son!
Always been a RF fan. Fanatic.
And that is why Rockford is my favorite amp!!!
That is a clean amp. Like the looks on it.
I'm not surprised rockford products are so underrated, I have their car speakers installed in my Silverado, and the sound quality is so impressive, people think I have a system installed , and it's only the factory replacement speakers (Rockford Fosgate) door speakers.. Great Demonstration!!!!!!!! :-)
Guaranteed customer satisfaction!
That was my favorite modern era Fosgate amp.
I had this amp brand new in the year 2010 man it was nice very underrated had it with the Rockford fosgate p2L-212 its was nice. Been a Rockford fosgate fan ever since
That’s just a friggin awesome classic! I remember seeing these and the Lanzar amps all over the car show scene, especially the SPL segments 👌🏼Great Cheater Amp 😆
👌😝👍
Def a cheater amp but I love RF especially old skool RF the quality is great. I'd say out of all the old skool one's the best from then that hasn't sold out is RF, X-🔥 & Orion...
Haha Lanzar! Oh man can't leave them out.
@@casmitherz yeah lanzar has had some good stuff over the years. I think the same company bought legacy too
Great test Rockford always makes under rated amps. But Taramps MD is now my favorite brand
Hard to beat in power per dolla
Wow that is amazing, I would have gotten one if I knew back in the day, almost impossible to find now. You must hold on to it Collectors item now after your Vid. Please test more RF amps 😊
Wow that’s nice. I like the a/b technology!!!
I still have one of these and 2 t40001bd in my collection
My dad is a huge fan of the rockford amps, more specifically the older ones. He likes the ones with the X cards alot. Now I have a rockford punch 400.4 from the 90s as my highs amd mids
All of today's amps....." Max rating !!!!"
Rockford power ..." That's nice 😏"
always liked those models and style of amps...
AMAZUNG.
I never cease to be surprised how much "new in box" stuff is still out there.
That’s why I only use Rockford Amplifiers! Great Video! 👍👍
Hard to go wrong 🤟
Good on you Rockford👍👍
AAAAHHHHH SNAP!!! Rockford Fosgate! yea!
If must say, you really up sake Rockford Fostgate never knew they made good amps till I started watching your channel
That showcase 12-in acrylic boxes freaking amazing! I so wish I could afford one for two 12s!
However, 2500 or so for a box just to house one it's way way over my price range when I've been wearing the same clothes for the past 6 days because I haven't been able to afford the washateria to wash clothes at the moment..😂🤣
Thats a really nice looking amp.
I had that amp running 4-8’s. It sounded great
Great looking (and performing) board,... inside and out.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Miss this era a ton!
👌😬👍
N.O.S - N.I.B. I love those letters in that order!
You and me bof brotha
I know of a NOS NIB Kove ZX1000 😉
Considering how empty the chassis is it is amazing it made that power.
Remember that amp is massive. I’ve got two and they take up an insane amount of space.
I have a t6004 and running it in 2 channel mode at 2 ohm bridged lays down some clean power
Best amp they ever made! I sold so many of these and the T5002. Both were triple to quadruple their rated power on every birth sheet and all far more stable.
You aren't kiddin! I have a T3002 and a T5002 still BNIB 😁
I vote for more manufacturer's to use option # 2. 🤩
certified slapper !
Very impressive!
Fo sho
Long tome watcher/subscriber, first time commenting. How the hell did you find a brand new 05 amp?! Awesome video as usual! Keep it up!
RF actually has another amp that is just as underrated, if not more underrated than the T3002. The 1999-2000 Punch 200a4. Conservatively rated to do 100x2 but actually does 500-600wrms as seen on some birth sheets
best brand in all fake brands in iran👍respect big D
I JUST finally retired a 1995 RF Pro 12in sub a month ago! I used it in 3 different trucks and the foam is just too deterorated to justify using it. But it still bumped! RF = can't go wrong
Awesome
I forgot where I saw/read this at but a little “hack” someone can use to guess the max output of a amp is by adding a zero to the end of the number on the fuse .. example - you have two 15 amp fuses , add it together 15+15=30 then you add the 0 to the end of the 30 which equals 300 , it’s not perfect by any means but gets you in the ball park , same goes if it only has one fuse - 25 amp fuse add the 0 = 250
Just WOW! Rockford..
Hi thank you for all your work, I always enjoy every video you put on youtube.
I have to ask you a question if you can help me.. I'm on a very low budget and I need an amp for my Pioneer TS-W306R, what do you think about a Crunch GPX 500.2?
The last amp i can remember that blew your mind was the MTX 2300 😊
I have a punch 300.1 and I've had it for 16 years and I know it pushes at least 500 watts rms
Thanks for the thermal footage once again! Also, is there a such thing as “too underrated”?!
I got a punch 3001 and it still kicks hard
ive always found rockford amps to put out more than what its rated for. i got a rf p700-1bd and if i remember correctly the sheet that came with said it was tested at mid 800s watts RMS. i smoked 2 pioneer 10inch shallow mounts in no time.
I probably installed about 200 of these back when I was installing.
😲
back in late 90s by far the punch 45 was way underrated. i won comps with it running 2-15s fkn shook everything i wish i had a couple
The Punch 45 was rated 22.5 x 2 and does around 60x2 at 4 ohms. About 300% over rated. The T3002 is 400% over rated, but yeah all beasts
I honestly would have bet that the other Fosgate amps would be the ones most underrated not these. The amps that has the end caps , like the punch 50.2 or 100.2. Got stupid hot. Everyone always seemed to loose the end caps. 🤦🏻♂️ now those amps BANGED SO HARD AND NEVER STOPPED
Remember the Punch Series 1 I have two 12s with the 45 amp and 4-in one's. They're gray and red Subwoofers Speakers from 4-in all the way to 18 in.
My brother had the PUCH series'
Yes!
I had one of these. It was every bit a 1000 watt amplifier. The only bad part is the 2ohm mono rating, and they do not live very long on 1 ohm mono. Also, lost those panel screws somewhere in my trunk after a while. Thanks for the video, back in the day we all knew these were way underrated.
This one went into protect under 2 ohms mono
i got one with top cover. $225 shipped.. btw they sound freakin excellent on 4 full range infinity kappas
I bought one of those in the box last year cheap on ebay. Ive been scooping up all the old school rockford i can. Auctions are still pretty cheap compared to buy nows.
A/B Power for the Win... had I known I would've bought 3 of these for my midbass/midrange/tweeter active setup back in the day instead of A/D/S... although I still love the SQ of my 6×50 A/D/S...
I want this amp!
I have 3 of these that are just the board with no case always wondered how to use them or make my own cooling.
The T3002 is out there.
It can't be reasoned with, it can't be bargained with...it doesn't feel pity of remorse or fear...and it absolutely will not stop... until everyone is bumping!
👌😬👍
Nice amplifier rockford fosgate power
Rockford fosgate for the win
Remove 2 phillips head screws....but uses allen key... Kinda sus there bid D lol. Great video!
I was using my friend Phillip’s Allen key 😝
ever heard of an addzest a4800 aka clarion 1106ha
trying to find out if they can run 2 ohm, one site says 2-8ohn but rms specs on the unit are at 4 ohm.
cannot find any official info on the clarion website.
I want this amp
I miss some good old class a/b amplifiers with there sound quality
acquire a class A/B recently, impressive quality.
This is the amp in the wall of bass. I want to say it ran 24 or 32 subs in the rf display for dealers
😲this is just wow.
Can you please dyno test the Kicker CXA-1200.1 and also Rockford Fosgate T500x1br ?? Thank you sir
Back in the day,we used to call them Chester Amps 👍
This video is awsome cause i have this amp and new it was underated so now i know how much its underated. Lol I also have t5002 and a t1001bd.
👌😬👍
