hey man if you could get ahold of a Sony LBT-GPX555 and dyno that thing i'd appreciate it. i'd really like to see if that peice of junk is really crankin out 1800 watts.
I wanted this amp so bad lol, but now see I had no place to put it or even the power to run it back then, big and beautiful. Rockford fosgate fan for life.
Extremely high quality components and build quality! I love the split design, thats what most amp designers want to do but do not have the space.. this is what happens when you let the engineers design what they truly want to!! :)
I would actually like the second board flipped on top of the other to make it more compact and in the style of a block. That could actually save space in most cases. But that’s just my likes.
Some interesting features and great performance. Plus it's Class A/B, so in theory it should have a more pleasant sound than a class D when playing music. Looks like a winner to me.😊
@@wal You know, you could apply some interesting graphics on top of that wide chassis. You could even add VU meters or some other electronic display, you've got plenty of real estate!
I have the Power T10001bd. When I was running it, I had it on my Sundown X12v1. That setup pounded. I could have sworn it was putting out 2000 solid watts. Now I know it was probably closer to 3000. Outstanding amps!
Nice teaser. I had one of those 250m2s powering a pair of 8" Orion XTR 4 ohm dvc and a P400.4 for whatever I was running up front that week. Both were great amps.
Soundstream Picasso, PPI Pro mos, Orion and Zapco made competitive amps..in America..and others too...but an exceptional amp never the less...RF was the bomb before they sold out to to cheap Chinese labor, early in the millennium
I installed lots of RF from late 90s to mid 00s they weren't the best for SQ. They don't clip nicely and had tendency to smoke mids and highs (sometimes even subs) for "certain" customers which we solved by either switching to JL amps or diamond HEX components. They were great amps but I really considered them dirty power. That said I'd hand best AB amp to McIntosh.
Man what a beast of an amp!! 😲🤯 I could just imagine that amp bridged on a pair if Stereo Integrity SQL 12's. And a couple smaller Rockford 4 channel amps of the same era powering mids and highs. Would be epic!! Great video as always BigD!! 👍
Well fellas I have a 1500.4 on 12 hertz 6.5 spl show a 800.4 on 8 hertz st25 tweeters and a 3000.1 on a orion hcca 12 let me tell you guys it's nasty I can supply pics to back up this wonderfull story.
I have one of these, absolutely amazing effortless power and sound quality 🥰 Way too big for my current car so using a Rockford 1000.4 (vu meters) to power my entire system 😉
It's the same way they built the Power T3002. I am really wanting to get the explanation of the extent for this much extra power vs the normal RF method of guaranteed power output stated. This will be a good question for the one employee at RF who explains why the T3002 was a beast (thank you marketing, probably the only time that would be said). But I'm sure glad you are very passionate about the complete unbiased industry as a whole and then the accountability of the manufacturing aspect and education of the end user.
@@wal I'm subscribed with this personal account and also my business account and make sure to at least get the double thumbs up for each video along with your extras channel.
I've never been upset with a Rockford amp. I remember getting a hand me down Rockford punch 110? amp from a friend as a teen when he upgraded to some insane amp... I had a cheap pyramid "1000w" amp and the Rockford blew it out of the water. that was my first taste of getting what you pay for.
@12:46 the TC7 and TC10 packages were not populated. I wonder if that's a mod from a previous repair or in a earlier prototype variant the amp could have done slightly more power... 🤔 Either way, amazing app and love how the power supply and output sections are separated like that. Freaking work of art!
Honestly you can hear CLEAR differences when you play out smoke jacket blues and I’m using a little oontz bluetooth speaker. The low end amps completely distort the song but this is as clear as it gets. That thing is kick ass
Many years ago I had the chance to buy a Blaupunkt Burning Desire on eBay for a very reasonable price but a friend of mine said he wanted it. So I let it go, only to find out he didn't win the auction because "it was too expensive". I would have paid hundreds more than what he deemed to be too expensive. It still pisses me off to this day. I'd absolutely love to see a Burning Desire on the amp Dyno and to hear BigD's opinion on it. They are a beautiful amplifier. I still hope to find one and buy it one day.
Even though I have a bias against Rockford going back to the late 80’s , I’m glad they are still around and have allowed their engineers projects like this. Amps like this introduce technology and design that eventually trickles down to everyday amps for the average guy.
As usual your editing is spot on and attention to detail is inspiring 👍. I actually find myself actively having to take a break from your channel, because I’ll end up watching the auto play of videos non stop 😂 This amp seems to be an absolute beast, and may end up on my future wishlist for using in the competition lanes. I’d like to see how one of these does on my 4-18” setup. Thanks for the excellent reviews!!!
That's thee coolest RF amp I've ever seen!!!! And if I was gunna keep that thing I'd get all that old crusty thermal grease cleaned up and get all new thermal grease installed..
I bought a Brazilian 2010 amp - Audiophonic Edge 2k/4, a HUGE AB 4 x 500W. I plan to keep as a collection item, think it's the most powerful 4 channel I've ever seen
I remember buying my t10001bd back in 05 and came with the Birth/Dyno sheet, mine was rated iirc at 1250 RMS @1 OHM, still have the amp but it's blown sitting in my storage shed waiting to get fixed.
As a firm believer in rockford fosgate. And a diehard enthusiast. The power series from the 2000's where there most under estimated amps, with some nasty pairing features to strap 2 together
Apparently kicker is better than what it advertises. I was selling wholesale car stereo at one point. When my son learned how to drive I decided to put a system in his car. I will just talk about what was in the trunk skipping everything else. For the low end I had this brand called Cadence, decent and I got them for free. I was also able to get a hold of power acoustic amplifiers again no charge to me. I used a double 12 inch ported box and loaded it with too 12-in Cadence woofers I only had to pay for the Box and the wiring kit. For the amplifier I grabbed a power acoustic monoblock that was supposedly 3,000 Watts RMS into one ohm and that's how I had it set up. I thought it sounded great. However when my son got a new car all his friends had kicker and he was busting my balls for kicker. I had to spend some money. At that time the newest thing with kicker were those Square woofers. I downsized it to one 12 in kicker woofer and matched it with a kicker 400 watt RMS monoblock amp. In my opinion it sounded good for what it was but because it had the name kicker it made my son happy. If he was happy I was happy. He was a good kid did very well in school when he got out of college he did very well for himself and he deserved everything that I ever got for him. that's my kicker story. Myself personally I'm more of a bang for the buck person not one that looks to impress anybody with name brands. My son on the other hand at his age everything was about competition and having what his friends had. I bought him a Toshiba laptop he wanted an Apple. I told him I said take the Toshiba return it and you can spend the difference because I'm not doing it and he did. He was definitely Mr. name brand and I was Mr bang for the buck.
I was not selling car audio by the time those came out, but I still was around it for a while. Those amps baffled me as to how RF thought people could fit those into most vehicles. They are awesome performers, but not everyone is willing to give up that much real estate. That surely had to have limited sales volume. Anyway, great video! I love seeing the old(ish) school stuff perform.
These type of products are meant to attract extreme enthusiasts and they also bring more awareness to the brand. A statement piece to a point. They know not many will sell but it will serve to sell other products that may have been considered.
I have no interest in contemporary gear... except the American made stuff (Linear Power, Tru Tech, Mmats, and ARC CXLR series)...no interest in Chinese crap
Oh sweet baby Jesus, you finally got a Punch 250m! I actually asked you if you had one when you did one of your original 500m videos years ago. Can't wait to see what those do since I had 4 of them.
I have same model but the T.1000.1BD I love the bass knob. SQ is beautiful on the power series amps. I prefer this year/version of the power T series amps. I just love the Amp making my subs sound the way the producer intended. I can only co.pare Rockford power series. To the kicker KX/KXA as far as SW.
The insane power output doesn't surprise me but I can't believe you were able to work a Debbie Gibson/Tiffany reference into a video in the year 2022 🤣
Love your videos seeing all the cool old school amps. I love the D'Amore engineering amps i have some myself! His amps are vey efficient and clean sounsing
Great video D. I thought everyone forgot about these amps. I have a T15002 in A1 condition with original birth certificate. Has bass knob and original box for sell. Everyone I talk to just look at it and don't understand why I say that 1500 watts is extremely under-rated for this amp.
I can tell thru my skull candy crusher headphones this is one of the best sq sounding amps I've heard on ur channel so far the damping factor on that amp has to be over 1000 Wich is extremely good.
@@joshholden8561 I do know Skullcandy. I used to sell the in ears. I've switched to headphones as my preferred way to listen to music. As long as you know Skullcandy is no where near accurate reproduction of music. Not the worst in the world but no where near as good as even affordable Mid-Fi like a Sennheiser HD600 or HD650 aka HD6XX.
@@Assimilator702 I have 2 pair of sennys I know all about them they are great for head pounding bass like the crushers are I have a few sets of beatz too jbl I have around 15 pair each I like for different reasons. The crushers was around 160 so they are not cheap I like the way they sound strickly bass music if u have a really powerful driver for headphones they can get pretty hard hitting I have a 350 dollar set of Sony's and believe it or not the playstation brand hi end cans actually sound good also I like 40 mm drivers for bass headphones. .
I use to own one of those back in 2005 and I tell you what...is not efficient I got that but the output and quality of sound it gives you...is unreal ❤️ sold it and been missing seens 💎🌹
@@tomasexteriors … those were the days, .. pride in craft and top notch components and balls to the wall quality. They do not make them lie that anymore… that you can afford
Awesome vid again! Mind reviewing the t500-1bcp? since you did the 1500 and 2500. where the 1500 was srsly underrated, but the 2500 wasnt. So i hope my t500 is "boss reverse" rated ;D
Another Big D thank you for this RF Ampilier. Garage Door much Bigger than Us ! Amp Dyno ratings Unbelievable! Please do Explain what is AP switch mode Have a Wonderful Rest of Sunday Morning
I was curious and took a minute to dig up the amp schematic to check out the design and I’m surprised. It’s extremely conventional and simplistic even by standards back then. It actually looks to be pure class B although I’d have to study the schematic a bit more to be sure. To sum it up it appears the primary design goal was to make the amp as simple and reliable as possible.
Better off with a high-powered amp that runs clean that you don't have to turn up to the point of distorting then having a small amp needing to turn it up to the point of distortion .I found over the years it's the distortion that has a tendency to melt the voice coils faster than the extra clean wattage. To a point of course
Rockford in my eyes, were the bedt amplifiers you could get in 200x, not to expensive and not to bad either.. Their P1000 Mono blocks were good too, I remember I had a couple of them in the back of my old Opel Record stw 😅 2x H2 12" in the back, made the truck lid pop out a few times ✌️
Yeeah.... it's a beast... wohooo👍 but The Power 1000 is a timeless beauty for me🤓 and yes.... quality costs... but this stuff is stable for years. just two words: Rockford Fosgate 💪

Got that scam on my comment too

You could mount it on the roof this way it can stay nice and cold.
This entire amp line is legendary, and this is why. Underated af and clean clean circuitry. My fav Fosgate amp line
Extremely high quality components and build quality! I love the split design, thats what most amp designers want to do but do not have the space.. this is what happens when you let the engineers design what they truly want to!! :)
Rockford Engineering FTW!
I would actually like the second board flipped on top of the other to make it more compact and in the style of a block. That could actually save space in most cases. But that’s just my likes.
@@Bassotronics I assume temps would rise faster without also being able to dissipate if designed that way.
@@hahano404
Not necessarily with an adequate heat sink or cooling system.
Such a incredible work of art, I miss amps like this.
Me too, good old Yankee know how...don't make em like this anymore
Some interesting features and great performance. Plus it's Class A/B, so in theory it should have a more pleasant sound than a class D when playing music. Looks like a winner to me.😊

Honestly it is best amp I had seens 2005 and always been missing it.. ❤️
@@samwise4me903 when I got next one I will put perapecs over top ❤️ this amp deserves to be treated 😂❤️💎
@@tomasexteriors the best was Orion hcca. I believe
best car audio channel on YT......i will never complain about under ratings, and it seems RF is the king at giving you more than the rating

Simply amazing this amp is CLASSIC hands down .
Destined to be a classic!
@@wal Agreed
That’s a beast for sure!
After so many years and still pushin’ strong!

@@ZEROBLOOM Nice! I figured it was way up there 👊🏽
Had 3of em got into a wreck and it's been sitting ever since I gotta get back on my Bass sense.... Love em ... Emotional right now
I remember growing up Rockford fosgate was the amp to have. Also there were a lot of people talking about the Memphis Belle..
👌😬👍
I believe Steve Mead has a couple of these running his mids and highs in his Tahoe...crazy OG build
Could not be more wrong
He has the T1000-4’s now. May have used these in the past
Now I’m see why the prices on these stayed high. Truly amazing amplifier.

Big ole old school class A/B BEAST !
No heater ?
No problem !
Great video D. I thought everyone forgot about these amps. I have a T15002 in A1 condition with original birth certificate. Has bass knob and original box for sell. Everyone I talk to just look at it and don't understand why I say that 1500 watts is extremely under-rated for this amp.
how much?
I would love to find one of these to match my T30001BD.
I had the 4k monoblock version of that, sold it two years ago 🤩🔥
Beast!!
Now thats a fantastic beast!!!!!!
I can tell thru my skull candy crusher headphones this is one of the best sq sounding amps I've heard on ur channel so far the damping factor on that amp has to be over 1000 Wich is extremely good.
YT re-encodes the audio when I upload but it does sound really good
Seriously. Get rid of those Skullcandies. You don’t know what you’re missing.
@@Assimilator702 do u know what a Skullcandy crusher is? I also have hi end Sony and many others considered audiophile.
@@joshholden8561 I do know Skullcandy. I used to sell the in ears. I've switched to headphones as my preferred way to listen to music. As long as you know Skullcandy is no where near accurate reproduction of music. Not the worst in the world but no where near as good as even affordable Mid-Fi like a Sennheiser HD600 or HD650 aka HD6XX.
@@Assimilator702 I have 2 pair of sennys I know all about them they are great for head pounding bass like the crushers are I have a few sets of beatz too jbl I have around 15 pair each I like for different reasons. The crushers was around 160 so they are not cheap I like the way they sound strickly bass music if u have a really powerful driver for headphones they can get pretty hard hitting I have a 350 dollar set of Sony's and believe it or not the playstation brand hi end cans actually sound good also I like 40 mm drivers for bass headphones. .
Can you please test and review the Zone PHactor Z8 pa amp?
Thanks for the suggestion
I use to own one of those back in 2005 and I tell you what...is not efficient I got that but the output and quality of sound it gives you...is unreal ❤️ sold it and been missing seens 💎🌹
...a quality you may never experience again...class d will never get you there
@@raymo6795 the person who bought it still got mine amp ❤️ it's unreal 💎 absolutely top notch ❤️ whort every penny
@@tomasexteriors … those were the days, .. pride in craft and top notch components and balls to the wall quality. They do not make them lie that anymore… that you can afford

This is why I use Fosgate amplifier for the money well worth it.
Awesome 👏
Awesome vid again! Mind reviewing the t500-1bcp? since you did the 1500 and 2500. where the 1500 was srsly underrated, but the 2500 wasnt. So i hope my t500 is "boss reverse" rated ;D
Yo, the galloping Gertie aka the Tacoma narrows bridge! That’s my hometown

Other Coolest Part Is Why Haven't Been Using A Real Head Units Rather than Having A Smart Phone headphones Wrms Jack 0.01 wrms
Rockford is a thing of the past there are amps that blow them away in every way.
Ya bro
I was curious and took a minute to dig up the amp schematic to check out the design and I’m surprised. It’s extremely conventional and simplistic even by standards back then. It actually looks to be pure class B although I’d have to study the schematic a bit more to be sure. To sum it up it appears the primary design goal was to make the amp as simple and reliable as possible.
Don't you think that under rating an amp so much might cause damage to speakers if the speakers were matched based on rated power?
Better off with a high-powered amp that runs clean that you don't have to turn up to the point of distorting then having a small amp needing to turn it up to the point of distortion .I found over the years it's the distortion that has a tendency to melt the voice coils faster than the extra clean wattage. To a point of course
Eu sou brasileiro, mas a Fosgate tem meu respeito!
Rockford in my eyes, were the bedt amplifiers you could get in 200x, not to expensive and not to bad either.. Their P1000 Mono blocks were good too, I remember I had a couple of them in the back of my old Opel Record stw 😅 2x H2 12" in the back, made the truck lid pop out a few times ✌️
👌😬👍
You should test it at 12volt and see if it hits closer to 125. I was thinking they rated those at 12v
Very good observation at that time there were no lithium batteries and most people had no clue about boosting their voltage only the professionals did
That amp is a beast!
Proudly made in USA!!
Now thats a good amplifier 👍
Yeeah.... it's a beast... wohooo👍
but
The Power 1000 is a timeless beauty for me🤓
and yes.... quality costs... but this stuff is stable for years.
just two words:
Rockford Fosgate 💪
👌😬👍
Killer amp , amazing , i know there expensive but man there nice products
itssss soounddddsss sooo clean
