Good day Mr wiz, my father gave me 2 rockford fosgate amplifiers the 55a2 and a 500a2 they are amazing amps, however my problem is that he lost the metal cap that normally cover the terminal and I am have a hard time to get them because I live in Jamaica. Do you have a link on how to get those caps?
I have a Rockford Fosgate t-1000-1bd not the bcdp model, and I've pushed it full tilt for over 8 years at 1 ohms running 2 p3 12" subs and it has never given me any issues. It is an absolute powerhouse of an amp and has never overheated. It's gotten really hot but never has gone into thermal protect mode ever. Truly na amazing amplifier
Fosgates expensive and people always say “you’re just paying for a name” I just tell them to listen to my mids and highs that my t400-4 is driving and their opinions always change
My first "good" amp I ever had was a punch 550.2. I was blown away by the difference of 600 watts rms compared to the 150 watts rms i was getting from my "1000 watt max" lanzer max.
@@whikidfmj don't speak of what you don't understand. Rockford is and has been building some of the best amps on the market for decades. If you could start with a punch 45 and work to current you would be a fan as well.
Always loved the Rockford Fosgate amps. They have NEVER put out an amp with an output that was less than rated... always more...and a birth certificate to prove it. Thanks RF!
Dude I don't care what anybody says you're the Best!!!! When it comes to any information on amps, power ratings,ect!! Anything you got to say is Good as Gold !!!!I'm a old school Bass head/SQ freak from back in the 90s.. Building a S/Q Van now at age 51... Love watching your videos at night. Keep up the good work Big D Wiz I'll always be a fan!!!
Had this amp for over 2 years now. Running 2 first gen 12in punch hx2s. Had the subs for about 16 years now and they've never sounded louder! Never gets hot at 1ohm. Hours of play at a time! Building a custom enclosure soon.
@@ali19186 I tried it bro @ .08 ohms I believe and it ran like a champ!!! This amps are very powerful. But i sold it and now i own a Sundown SAZ 3500D and its the one they build here in US not the Korean ones. Im getting a Sundown Zv4 D1 this week I have my Custom box build already with a 8" aero port from Sky high Car Audio. Check out my Channel and stay tuned Ali. Hope you like what I have and what I build. Subscribe Me please Iwill appreciate it. Anyway i sold my T1500.1bdcp for $300 on offer up. Then I got my SAZ 3500D from a buddy of Derek from Sundown Audio for $450! I think I got a sweet deal for being the very first ones they build here in US. Then after so much requests they had to make them in Korea to manufacture more. But those dont do 18v like the one i have. Dont get me wrong they are still a beast but with cheaper parts.
my lady says why do i always watch these dumb videos . just love watching these videos to knws which company's give u best power for the money. keep em coming buddy.
Hands down imo the best sounding class d amp I’ve used on subs. I prefer a class a/b amp design, but I’d choose this again if I ran a class d. For the price vs actual power & in car output, it’s worth every penny. Big power, great test. Thank you once again D!!!
I picked one of these bad boys up to power my RE Audio 15xx. Love that they come certified from the manufacturer. My specific specimen hit 1924watts @ 1ohm. I've smelled the burn on a couple punishing tracks.
Fantastic amp. Buddy has been running this amp for 10 years no joke and it still works good as new. His birth sheet at 1ohm was little over 1900 watts rms as i recall.
How did he wire his amp from the box to the amp? Cause that's where I'm confused on this amp cause I have 2 15's and I was wondering do I wire my 2 subs to the amp in a mono load( + -) or( + -/+ -)
@@thcwolfs2598Got you Boss I see what you're saying now 😂 the 1st + and last- on the amp to get all the juice 😂 I might need to get another one of these powerhouses so I can have 2 😂 that'll be enough clean power for me, thank you.
You cant go wrong going with RF and JL Audio amplifiers. I have a RF T1500-bdcp pushing 12w7 in a spec ported box. Also, JL Audio XD 800/8v2 pushing a 3 way Hertz Millie Pro components, RF T2 tweeters and 2 way RE Audio XXX 6.5. components. They sound awesome.
Where you from bro I get most of my shith there since 2000 these maps are great iv had about 10 over the years an the 2500s to not r1s t2s an t3s. I got to the trip state mall store where u go ? An if u ever met isaac back in the day that my homie
Have a rockford fosgate p325.2 bridgable amp. Running a single 10 " sub. Bought this 13 years ago and still bangin im my single cab. Can testify. These amps are full of power and bullet proof. This amp has blown 2 subs over the years but she keeps doing the damn thang so shes gonna ride with me till the wheels fall off
My friend has one of these and he borrowed my kicker L7's (10's) and man. I've never heard them slap so hard, this amp is no joke. He's getting some Memphis M6 subs to compliment the new amp.
I just left you a lengthy inspirational comment on the new cab video. Now I'm watching this video for the 10th time drooling over this amp. It my absolute dream sub amp... lol I have 3 p3d2 Rockford 10s on an r1200-1d but I bet this thing would absolutely slam in my trunk!!!!!
This goes to show, Rockford still builds great products. (I know this video is older but nothing has changed with Rockford's quality). I have heard only old people like Rockford. Well guess I'm old then bcuz I still like Rockford.
I'm running this amp with my 2 15s at 2 ohms and it goes off by far the best amp I have ever owned and have had it over 10 yrs now and wouldn't trade it for the world its birth certificate says it's rated at 1,960 watts
In parallel if your subs are dual voice coils take a jumper from 1 positive to 1 negative on 1 sub and that will leave you 1 positive and negative do the same on the other sub and that will leave you just 2 positives and 2 negatives and just hook the positives together and the 2 negatives together and run the 2 wires to the amp and if that sounds confusing just look up how to wire subs on here if that is easier homie
rockford Has always been good stuff lost a little respect for them when best buy started selling them I got r1200 1d and love it keep videos coming big d
I have, just didn't think about Brazilian amps since I'm out right not interested in them. But that is correct they use even less components for that amount of wattage.
Great Video BigD! Ive shared this with you before..but a younger version of myself bought a Rockford Fosgate Power 800a.4 back in 1999 and installed in my Honda Accord..i later relocated it to my '01 truck..where it still sits ..and still works about like it did from day 1...nearly 20 years out of an amp..yeah it cost a few sheckles more than some of the competition..I think i paid ~ $670 back then..so $36 a year :-)...so happy with it i bought the T10004.ad for my new install.
I know I’m VERY late to this video and I’m slightly embarrassed for not seeing this review. I’ve never a big fan of Rockford amps guy but these ‘T’ lines of amps are legit. Nice review big guy$
I'm going to be running 2 of these in my new build on 2 soundqubed hds312's at 1 ohm with 2 rockford fosgate t400-4 on my mids and highs in the back of a 2023 hyundai tucson limited
It's not just about the amount of wattage, but how the music and sounds are produced and how long it can do it for at high wattage. That's where this is outperforms most others. This amp will slam all day long and not care
Thanks for another great vid big D! PiP of the current simultaneously with the dyno display really makes a difference. Thanks for the tech tutorial at the beginning I was not aware of that type of power supply. I've never been an RF guy but there's no arguing with the quality of their products. That black finish and honeycomb heatsink is great to look at too
Yo Big! So I was looking at this amp to go with the RF P3 loaded enclosure stock wired to 1ohm but after seeing this IDK.... think it's too much power for those subs? 2400w max but with these amp numbers.... help? Thanks!
I had one of these driving two p3’s wired to 2ohm and it was beating the shit out of them. Amazing amp. I upgraded to the t2500-1bdcp though. Love it. I need a second one 😂
I ran a 0 gauge battery wire into this 1500 watt fosgate, that thing was a total beast, my best amp ever to this day, to bad someone stole the car 2 years later. Bet the chumps they never got the full potential
@jefferyglover4295 ran it from the battery with a fuse block attached for protection, (it never popped though) straight to the amp itself, just make sure that you have a decent alternator and it will beat the hell out of trunk!! Good luck my dude 🙏
I never really cared for Rockford "R.F." or mtx . but I maybe kinda changing my mind. I was in it deep in the 90's and kicker and orion was king at my local dealer! it was mostly their sub's I didn't care for. especially mtx. that series that nearly ended them. great video!
Fun fact: Rockford Fosgate stereos are a factory option on many Mitsubishi vehicles (and probably the best OEM stereo system I've ever heard). I almost bought a Lancer about 10 years ago just because the factory RF stereo sounded so good.
I had my subwoofers hooked up to a 10000bd punch I believe and even that was pretty intense for my 12 and I didn't even have the gain up all the way as well but when I put the 1500 BD consistent power amp you can feel you can hear the difference yes the 1,500bd cp is more powerful than a 1000bd power. But the consistent power makes a difference and that amp is cleaner than the 1000 BD just saying
My buddy has this amp. It is great and i love the technology in it where it stabilizes the power so it keeps loss from impedance rise to a minimum. But....the price tag is extreme. So my question is...are there any more affordable amps in the 1800 to 2000rms range that are comparable with similar technology and sq but at a cheaper price??
I've got a full Rockford system t1 subs and t1 amp and i can honestly say i am gonna rip their crap out of my truck and im going to rebuild it with a street set up and can guarantee my street setup will be 50 times better then their over priced garbage. massive audio xl and sundown here i come. by the way great videos ive actually watched quite a few of your amp test and your videos is actually helping me decide what my street setup will be thanks man👍🏽👍🏽
@John Cox lol technology has came far buddy sundown makes a 9x9 amp and is putting out 3 times more power then that Rockford you've got and guarantee draws low voltage. sundown fbs 3000 look it up you might change your mind about rockcrap.
They r nice amps, had a 1000-1bd for years, prolly 10, still rocking in my nephews car! Paid 799 Canadian for it, hell of a deal back in the day! Ran a pair of alpine type r 15s @1ohm mono, worked very well
Good attempt to try and cover your tracks but your old school is not old enough but it`s all good. Even back in the eighties, the RF Power 300, 650, and 1000 were not called Punch Power Series.....they were called Power and just like today, the Punch series was a step below the Power series.
Lol...Temper, temper. Little Karl Jr. hates to be wrong so naturally he starts with the name calling. Priceless and the obvious reaction by a little boy who`s proven wrong.
Great video I got this amp and holy smokes. The bass knob is not a regular style bass knob it dowsnt turn your bass down but is a bass boot so when older songs without bass comes on you can bring the bass out of them by turning up the knob
I love rockford amps, I'm using a 1000p bd1, on a american bass xfl with custom soft parts and it's just nasty in a big p ported box back of my g6 gt with seats down firing in cab ,best sounding combo I've had so far,
As typical with Rockford amps, underrated. For that price though, unless you're a diehard Rockford fan, you're better off with the US Acoustics Mike. Great video brutha!! 👍👌
I have this amp pushing 2 12w6v3 subs ported and I have to turn the speaker level setting on my pioneer hu to negative 13 because the subs overpower my highs and mids. I have morel tempo ultra component set. This amp is powerful as hell
One of my cars I barely drive is a 2005 Buick Park Ave. I decided last weekend to put two Kicker 15 CVR's I had laying around I forgot I had this T1500 I only tested it years back and didn't use it. I finally hooked it up to the two 15 CVR's with a Rockford R2 300X 4 ch. Hitting really hard.
@@kellycote9428 the 13w7 is a dual 1.5ohms sub so in series its at 3ohms but since you got 2 of them youre at 1.5ohms final load. do people say the bass hurts. i only have one and people who sit in the passenger seat say they feel a little punch on their kidney i can only imagine how 2 of them would feel like
Loved this amp but hated how hot it got even when just idling. Had to get rid of it because I wasn't too comfortable with those temps where I installed it.

I ran a 45hd in highschool and a 1000.1bd now on 2 sundown 8s in my truck and you would think I have 15s
Forever a Fosgate fan. Might cost more but they are reliable and they are just killer amps. My two cents. Cool vid Big D. 'I'm outta heeeeere..!!'

Love seeing amp guts, I'm amazed Rockford can make a 3000 watt amp with half the components other brands need to make the same wattage.
Celeste McCoy apparently you've never seen the guts of Brazilian amps
I have, just didn't think about Brazilian amps since I'm out right not interested in them. But that is correct they use even less components for that amount of wattage.
Celeste McCoy interested or not they're still doing it on less components and way less power
You get what you pay for.
but the rockford can last all day the Brazilians not so much, also sound like a vacuum cleaner
“Is this your last one “

best around for the money Rocker Fosgate power love HX3 (12)in old school.

Good point. Hopefully this can be explained further in the in-car future tests
As long as you have the proper electrical. Rockford amps pull alot of power with a lower efficiency percentage
Thanks for another great vid big D! PiP of the current simultaneously with the dyno display really makes a difference.
Thanks for the tech tutorial at the beginning I was not aware of that type of power supply. I've never been an RF guy but there's no arguing with the quality of their products. That black finish and honeycomb heatsink is great to look at too
This is why I'm a Rockford Fosgate fan boi.
👌😊👍
i had a bdcp amp like this and it was absolute beast. best amp i ever owned. had to sell it as i was strapped for cash one point in my life. happens
Yo Big! So I was looking at this amp to go with the RF P3 loaded enclosure stock wired to 1ohm but after seeing this IDK.... think it's too much power for those subs? 2400w max but with these amp numbers.... help? Thanks!
Love seeing that 14-16 gauge remote input. Someone needs to tell companies that 8-4 gauge prolly isn’t necessary.
I had one of these driving two p3’s wired to 2ohm and it was beating the shit out of them. Amazing amp. I upgraded to the t2500-1bdcp though. Love it. I need a second one 😂
the t2500 on Rockford p3s ?
I got two T2D2’s with the aluminum basket.. thinking two 1500’s will get them moving
@@getfitwithme8405 you won’t be disappointed. Do it!
I ran a 0 gauge battery wire into this 1500 watt fosgate, that thing was a total beast, my best amp ever to this day, to bad someone stole the car 2 years later. Bet the chumps they never got the full potential
So you can run a 0 gauge to this 1500bdcp? How did you do it Boss?
@jefferyglover4295 ran it from the battery with a fuse block attached for protection, (it never popped though) straight to the amp itself, just make sure that you have a decent alternator and it will beat the hell out of trunk!! Good luck my dude 🙏
@@sburton982 Thank you so much Boss for the information!
I still got my power 10001 bd that was made in Tempe Arizona.
I never really cared for Rockford "R.F." or mtx . but I maybe kinda changing my mind. I was in it deep in the 90's and kicker and orion was king at my local dealer! it was mostly their sub's I didn't care for. especially mtx. that series that nearly ended them. great video!
Been waiting for this moment. Great test D.
Fun fact: Rockford Fosgate stereos are a factory option on many Mitsubishi vehicles (and probably the best OEM stereo system I've ever heard). I almost bought a Lancer about 10 years ago just because the factory RF stereo sounded so good.
It’s true but the upgrades factory systems are in most cases nowhere near as good as a decent upgrade using quality components.
I had my subwoofers hooked up to a 10000bd punch I believe and even that was pretty intense for my 12 and I didn't even have the gain up all the way as well but when I put the 1500 BD consistent power amp you can feel you can hear the difference yes the 1,500bd cp is more powerful than a 1000bd power. But the consistent power makes a difference and that amp is cleaner than the 1000 BD just saying
The best Rockford Fosgate 😍👌🏽🇧🇷
👈😎👍
I love your sidekick at the end brotha! Awesome dyno. Thanks for keeping it real like you always do 👍
I have and love this amp 💯
My buddy has this amp. It is great and i love the technology in it where it stabilizes the power so it keeps loss from impedance rise to a minimum. But....the price tag is extreme. So my question is...are there any more affordable amps in the 1800 to 2000rms range that are comparable with similar technology and sq but at a cheaper price??
Check helix m series
Rockford power t2500 test 😃
Best to run it 2 Ohm min. and not below. 4 Ohm is pretty good performance. 2-4 Ohm has better amp control over the sub movement.
Great tip
I've got a full Rockford system t1 subs and t1 amp and i can honestly say i am gonna rip their crap out of my truck and im going to rebuild it with a street set up and can guarantee my street setup will be 50 times better then their over priced garbage. massive audio xl and sundown here i come. by the way great videos ive actually watched quite a few of your amp test and your videos is actually helping me decide what my street setup will be thanks man👍🏽👍🏽
@John Cox lol technology has came far buddy sundown makes a 9x9 amp and is putting out 3 times more power then that Rockford you've got and guarantee draws low voltage. sundown fbs 3000 look it up you might change your mind about rockcrap.
Been waiting for this. Thank you! I have been driving myself crazy trying to decide between this amp and the jl slash 1000/1 for my w7.
Im runnin a 13w7 wired to 2.5 ohms and it kicks ass
@@travishulse3449 how is it wired to 2.5 when it’s a 1.5 DVC? Wouldn’t it be .75 or 3?
What amp did you decide to go with?
They r nice amps, had a 1000-1bd for years, prolly 10, still rocking in my nephews car! Paid 799 Canadian for it, hell of a deal back in the day! Ran a pair of alpine type r 15s @1ohm mono, worked very well
Rockford Fosgate Power CP series amplifiers for the win!
Agreed 🤙
Thank God for these dyno tests
O yea it's hard to beat the fosgate circuit they have some of the best ever!!!! Punch power for the win👍👍👍👍👍
Punch is a step down from this amp which is part of the Power series.
I hate to tell you this but that's what I will always call Fosgate' power I'm from the old-school were it's called punch power series
Good attempt to try and cover your tracks but your old school is not old enough but it`s all good.
Even back in the eighties, the RF Power 300, 650, and 1000 were not called Punch Power Series.....they were called Power and just like today, the Punch series was a step below the Power series.
Like is said that's what " I" call it, go troll another person idiot
Lol...Temper, temper. Little Karl Jr. hates to be wrong so naturally he starts with the name calling.
Priceless and the obvious reaction by a little boy who`s proven wrong.
Oooh yeah watching @BigDWiz and rocking my oss t-shirt. Great video BigD
Great video I got this amp and holy smokes. The bass knob is not a regular style bass knob it dowsnt turn your bass down but is a bass boot so when older songs without bass comes on you can bring the bass out of them by turning up the knob
I love rockford amps, I'm using a 1000p bd1, on a american bass xfl with custom soft parts and it's just nasty in a big p ported box back of my g6 gt with seats down firing in cab ,best sounding combo I've had so far,
ROCKFORD FOSGATE, HELIX AND BRAX... THE BEST OF CAR AUDIO EVER EVER EVER EVER...
Best brand for amps
Rockford definitely in the top best 5 brand you can buy. Good vid👍
Fo shizzle
I’m a real big fan of Rockford Fosgate best Amp’s for the money 💰 and Macintosh made Awesome Amp’s also
I’d agree they are both 👌
Great workhorse amp I have 2 1000.1 BDCP’s and also bought them at sound or tri-state.
Rockford, JL, Alpine,Linear power are the best amps made in my opinion
As typical with Rockford amps, underrated. For that price though, unless you're a diehard Rockford fan, you're better off with the US Acoustics Mike. Great video brutha!! 👍👌
Thanks Danny B 🤙
Freaking awesome video my friend. Thanks for the info on the constant power concept too
Brian Miles Gamecocks in the house! 👍
PalmettoMoon Gamecocks for the win!
Brian Miles You know it!
I have this amp pushing 2 12w6v3 subs ported and I have to turn the speaker level setting on my pioneer hu to negative 13 because the subs overpower my highs and mids. I have morel tempo ultra component set. This amp is powerful as hell
-13 at 1 ohm and gain on amp all the way down?
One of my cars I barely drive is a 2005 Buick Park Ave. I decided last weekend to put two Kicker 15 CVR's I had laying around I forgot I had this T1500 I only tested it years back and didn't use it. I finally hooked it up to the two 15 CVR's with a Rockford R2 300X 4 ch. Hitting really hard.
Keep the good stuff rolling. I love the Rockford Fosgate.
Thanks for watching and commenting 🤙
Have one running two dual 4 ohm JL13w7s at 1 ohm. Perfect combo
how did you get a dual 4ohms was it a reconed sub. i also have a 13 but its wired to .75
@@rowboyto156 run the subs at 2 ohms each instead of 8ohms, then run them together. Not reconed, ran in series instead of parallel.
@@kellycote9428 the 13w7 is a dual 1.5ohms sub so in series its at 3ohms but since you got 2 of them youre at 1.5ohms final load. do people say the bass hurts. i only have one and people who sit in the passenger seat say they feel a little punch on their kidney i can only imagine how 2 of them would feel like
@@rowboyto156 my bad brother... i have the 13w6v2... misread ha ha. .75 ohms will be fine.
Loved this amp but hated how hot it got even when just idling. Had to get rid of it because I wasn't too comfortable with those temps where I installed it.
Mine does the same but it has “ never “ shut off even in Phoenix 114 heat❤️❤️🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾💯💯💯💯🔥🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
