Strength:

BIG BOY POWER without total kill on ur battery and electrical system!!!

Weakness:

None!!!! Well...only drawbacks were: (1.) Received 4 tickets in the first 90 days for excessive noise/disturbing peace, (2.) 2 break-in attempts that also occurred in the first 90 days, (3.) Getting more pussy than i can shake a stick at son!

Strength:

These are great amplifiers! Nice to use without having major electrical upgrades. These are very bulletproof amplifiers. Another nice thing is that in a case where something does go wrong, parts are very easy to find and are relatively inexpensive. Very underrated amps!

Weakness:

The only downfall is that these are tricky to tune by ear if you are trying to avoid clipping or distortion. A DD1 is recommended for anyone trying to achieve better sound quality through proper tuning.

Strength:

powerfull until it kills your speakers

Weakness:

it sucks at producing moderately clean power to push subs

Basically, this bd1000 is bull. I had 2 hooked up on two kicker solobarics each wired for 2 ohms and this piece of junk burned up the voice coils at low volumes 3 times. I honestly think that no one should purchase this amplifier. Rockford has new engineers and their doing a terrible job at designing. The amplifier pushes out too much raw power causing speakers to distort. In other words, there is too much dc power. Their garbage don't buy it , thats why its so cheap

Strength:

RAW Power. Hardly draws power for what it outputs, extremely small for versitile positioning, nice and cool, I don''t think it will ever get hot enough to shut down.

Weakness:

... If I said anything here, I would be lieing.

Holy crap! This thing ownz. I can''t see how it hasn''t gotten a 5/5 from everyone. Right now I am just running it off of my friends little kenwood 10" that has been abused and beaten, but it takes to the limit and back again. I scored the amp for a great price too... $345 CANADIAN. Can''t beat that. As far as heat goes... I haven''t been able to run it at full power because it would crush the little kenwood. But I haven''t even seen the amp get warm yet. I have pounded it for hours straight... but no temp. increase at all, and it hardly draws juice from my battery. Blows my mind. All I can say is that since it is discontinued now, you can get unreal prices on it and you can''t go wrong!

Strength:

power, efficientcy and reliability

Weakness:

ohm handling, no on board fuse

Good amp, but if you run at 1 ohm at full power, it will die or melt carpet. Bang for your buck, but an xtant 1001 will out perform this amp. rockfords make reliable stuff if you use it right.

Strength:

Power, Power, Power! If you are faint hearted this is not for you! 1100 WATTS FOR $400. You can wire two of these together into MONO that is great, no one else even comes close.

Weakness:

Everyone cannot handle what this thing is capable of

Oh my God this is BY FAR THE GREATEST amp that I have ever used and I have had quite a few. This thing can drive a pair of subs better that anything that I have ever seen and it is an absolute bargain for what you are getting. GET THIS AMP YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!
