Rock solid amp with more than enough power to push your everyday system.

None

I was thumbing through the classifieds when i found this amp already paired with a kicker 12" solobaric for 100 bucks!!! At first I was not expecting anything special from this "litle" amp but as soon as i hooked it up it blew me away....the best part for me is when my friends laugh at my 250 watt amp and then i put their "1000" watt amps to shame=)

Good power in a small package. Good looks. Easy to work with.

Even though others push two subs with it, it really isn't made for that.

A very good little amp. I have it running two Infinity Reference 3 way 6X9's, and it powers them well. It provides nice tight bass in a small little package. I also had it hooked up to an MTX 10 inch in addition to the Infinity's, and it rattled the inside of my house from the garage. Not bad. It isn't made to push a decent sized subwoofer.

puts out good power underated destorion free quality sound wicked amp

its not offically stable at 2ohm mono

got this amp cheap of a mate with two rockford 12s goes hard ive got it running 2ohm mono and goes fine doesnt shut off or any thing. gives wicked distortion free sound that rips any off my mates sound systems i would recommend this amp 2 anyone although its a bit pricey new its still worth it as its heaps better than any cheaper higher rated amps. this amps definatly putting out more than the 250rms its ment to. looks cool small so can be hidden away so it wont get stolen. easy to connect no tricky plugs or anything needed. this amp really isnt 4 competition use 4 ur subs if u wanted to compete properly u would probably want to go up a couple of models to get a bit more power. overall wicked amp will stay with rockford from now on

A lot more wattage than expected. Built in crossover. Bass boost. LOUD!!

price if anything. I paid about 200 brand new, and for about an extra 50 you could get a used JBL 1200.1

I have used this amp for about 10 months now, in three different setups. The birthsheet for it says 430 watts. A lot more than i expected considering its a punch "250". This is seriously the best amp I''ve ever owned, and I wasn''t expecting much out of it. This amp is what made me stay with Rockford, and I bought all Rockford gear from that point on. I have it running two 10" Punch HE''s, and they MOVE. I''ve also had it run the 2000 punches, Polk DX''s, JBL''s, and Kickers. I ''ve always had better luck with Rockfords though. And, I have had the two HE''s (4 ohm) bridged, and its been this way the last 5 months. Used to shut off, but I lowered the gains a bit, and it hasnt shut off since.

Put out tremendous power! I had this bridged into 2 ohms with power gains and Punch Bass all the way up and it never once shut off! No distortion was ever audible either

None for me. Maybe price if you buy it new, but I recommend not buying the new models because they''re not as underrated as the older ones

This amp is awesome! A friend was selling it for 75 dollars so I thought I''d give it a shot, an excellent move. I''ve had it hooked to 2 15"punch xlc''s(hit 135db''s in extremly large suv),2 15"JL w0''s, and 2 12"solobarics. I wish I had the certification sheet that showed how many watts this thing atcually put out. I recommend Rockford fosgate amps to anyone!

Powerful!!!!!, Remote Punch Bass.

None so far!

I got a great deal on this amp. Bought from a store that was deciding to get rid of the Fosgate line. I have it bridged to a Boston Pro 10.5LF and it pushes it pretty good. the ratings are never true for the fosgate amps. mine was rated at 250RMSx1 and the actual was 408RMSx1!!!! Love the remote punch bass that way you can adjust it to certain songs. and you can mount the control virtually anywhere you want in the vehicle. no distortion from the amp at all. good buy!

This Amp fills it's niche perfectly, it prices itself well and looks great, the wings cover the mounting holes which add to the theft-proofing abilities needed in todays cars, It's too bad it cant do 2ohm mono, but then again it isn't suppose too, but isnt it nice when you buy something that is better than what you thought it would be? At 250rms it play pretty clean, and the features are very standard and easy to use, the packaging including the certificate that you get from rockford add to the ownership appeal. Each amp has its own tested max, so get your sales dude to open up a few boxes and choose which one has the highest max.. you could be picking up an extra 30 watts for nothing. This amp sometimes turns itself off at higher volumes, but i doubt that it is from heat, i think it has to do with the gain/input, cuz i can crank the volume quickly and turn it off which never occured on my 100a2 which also rocked, althought they seemed much more durable and cooler to the touch, so i was alarmed when the 250a2 got as warm as it did when playing at a mediocre volume level, it can handle it just fine though. for its size it does a good job and is the perfect compliment if you just want to add 1 or 2 subs and have decent quality, if you want to compete, then invest a little more and buy the 360a2.

lots of power for such a small package. very clean sounding and does a great job of getting rid of heat. Great protection circuitry.

sometimes shuts off running three 8 ohm subs in parallel...

When I opened the box, i was surprised to see that the bench test for my amp was 398 watts. 148 watts higher than advertised. I had three RF punch tens wired to a little higher than 2 ohms mono and this amp smoked them. I've set off several car alarms just driving by with this setup. I have since sold the three tens and I have now acquired two kicker compeition vr twelves that I have not purchased a box for. I am going to get a sealed poly-filled box for them and I can't wait to feed them with my punch 250a2.

Clean Power which can drive 8 speakers!!
Goodlookin!

Runs Hot.
Bass Booster switch not required.

I yanked out my factory infinity gold amp from my Grand Cherokee and hooked this 2 channel amp up to power all 8 infinity speakers and it just rocks!! On the infinity amp I could only put my volume up to 23 and the speakers would start to distort, now with the Fostgate I can reach 32 on my volume and its as clean as can be!!! an expensive amp $500 Cnd, but allow factory speakers to play at optimal levels.

Couldnt find any.

Dirty, weak power.

I was powering a single 10" sub with my Clarion amp and it sounded great. Moved my Clarion to my 6x9s for the clean power and replaced on the sub with the Rockford. Had to overdrive the amp to get less than mediocre results. I played with it ALOT to try to get satisfactory results. Returning the amp tomorrow.
