Description:
At the top of the Punch Series power chain, the Rockford Fosgate 801S amplifier pumps out 200 watts RMS per channel at 4 ohms, or a brutal 800 watts RMS x 1 in bridged mode. Innovative circuitry, MOSFET power, and proprietary technology bring out extraordinary detail in your music, driving your subs with precision and strength you just can't get from a lesser amp.

  • 200 watts RMS x 2 at 4 ohms
  • 400 watts RMS x 2 at 2 ohms
  • 800 watts RMS x 1 bridged output at 4 ohms
  • stereo or bridged mono output
  • 4-ohm stable in bridged mode
  • Tri-Way capable
  • wiring and hardware not included with amplifier we recommend an 8-gauge amp wiring kit with a 60-amp fuse
  • 50-250 Hz high-pass/low-pass (12 dB/octave) crossovers
  • MOSFET power supply and output devices
  • MEHSA mounting technology increases the heat transfer from the MOSFET output devices to the heat sink, for higher power output, lower operating temperatures, and greater reliability
  • TOPAZ noise-killing differential inputs that eliminate 80% of ground loop noise
  • Transana circuitry keeps preamp voltages low and signal paths simple for outstanding audio quality
  • NOMAD advanced protection circuitry for "intelligent" shutdown protection
  • wired remote included for fingertip control of Punch Bass (0-18 dB boost at 45 Hz)
  • speaker- and preamp-level inputs
  • 17-1/16"W x 2-7/16"H x 9-7/8"D

Review 1 of 7

Price Paid:  $250.00 from Ebay

Year / Model Reviewed:
 RF 801s

Strengths:
everyting

Weaknesses:
nothing

Summary:
I got this amp back in high school 4 years ago. I had two He2 and blew them out about 3 month later. I match my subs and amp up to match. My fault, after that i wanted the P3 but got talked into the Alpine Type R's. Im a RF fan but it's sad to say i love my alpines. Ive had them for 3 years and beat the sh#t out of them in the summer. anyway back to the amp. Out of all my friends im the only RF fan and after having this amp i will only buy RF. Ive seen many friends switch amps over the years because of problems but i don't have any. Two years ago I let a buddy of mine use my amp to test his new subs big mistake on my part. We have put many systems together and never had a problem. But when my friend started his truck the smoke rolled outta my amp. I was pissed becuase i knew my amp was fried. I still run the same amp and i don't have any problems. I dont know what went wrong that day but i can tell you this is my RF801s had been beatin to sh#t and still works i will never give this amp up until it goes. I currenty have two 12 Type R's and am looking to upgrade but this amp is coming along for the ride because i know it will perform well even if its 5 years old

This amp is worth every penny you spend on it. I have it hooked up at 2ohms bridged for 2 kove armagedon z series 12's. This amp pushes the subs to thier max excursion effortlessly. Specs are seriously underated so give it a try.

Review 5 of 7

Price Paid:  $220.00 from friend

Year / Model Reviewed:
2001 Punch 801s

Strengths:
Huge amount of power. Awesome looks. Remote bass knob. Glowing logo.

Weaknesses:
None really

Summary:
This amp is sweet. It not only looks good, put it provides some serious power. I have it pushing two Rockford HX 2 12's, and they hit hard. Amp is rated for 800 watts RMS at two ohms, but that is an underestimate. My card said it tested at 996 RMS!!! Wow.
