Model Reviewed: rockford fosgate bd1500.1

Strength:

This is one powerful amp. It looks great. It can operate at lower than 2 ohms. This amp is old school and underrated more than the newer fosgates. it operates at 75% eficiency and should out put 2000 rms.

Weakness:

the amp shuts down with 4 awg wire. It can get hot. After it reaches max spl, extra volume seems to disort the bass. Or it could becuase my sub.

I bought this amp off ebay for $300. This amp is powerful. I have it hooked to a JL 13w7 at 1.5 ohms. this system not just shakes my trunk but my entire car and any car around me. My sub is in a large sealed box and it hits the lows very well. one awsome amp. This amp definately is a keeper and I believe to be my final upgrade. It is the best amp I had.

Strength:

tons of power if you look hard you can find them cheap looks good great at givin tons of spl

Weakness:

gets hot can sound bad when clipped

This amp is bad as hell has tons of power and you can get them for cheap now i was runnin 2 flame Qs off of this for a while but it blew those then i had 2 mofos and they sucked it up now i have 2 Power HX2s on this and it drive them just right the only bad thing about this amp is once it starts to clip it sounds crappy so just watch out how much you ask from it because it will give it to you but you may not be happy with the result it also gets really hot when it runs just make sure that there is air flow under it and you will be okay and on last thing this amp is stable down to 1ohm but it gets very hot and draws lots of power i blew a 250amp fuse at 1ohm so this amp is defenitly not for newbes

Strength:

Lots of power and clarity at both 2 & 4 ohms. Punch Bass is second to none. Great for SPL at 50Hz.

Weakness:

Input voltage sensitivity a little bit too low when using processing with built in line drivers and lots of boost(especially over 12dbs), however,it can be eliminated with the use of Audio Control's Over Drive or Matrix.

I have used these amplifiers on 2 12"W7's and currently I have them driving 4 12"W6v2's. The Punch Bass is excellent and delivers bass even when my Audio Control Epic-160 is not activated. I have clocked 154 decibels using 2 of the 4 Jl's(sealed enclosure)with the gains on both amps on minimum and this year I am hoping to put the 4 speakers in a ported enclosure. The amps are the best I have tried so far after trying 2 Jl's 500/1; 2 Sony X-plod's 760 watts & Directed 1100d.

Strength:

Power, Power and more Power!!

Weakness:

Running this amp for hours at a time will cause it to get hot as hell..just install a fan unit or sometype of cooling system and you will be all set!!

Hooked this MONSTER up to my JL Audio 12w7 enclosed into a H.O. Box and it just absolutely slams. If you are looking to pay a little for huge output this is definitely the amp you are looking for.

Strength:

SPL at 60Hz+

Weakness:

Must upgrade electrical system or it shuts down

Oh my, is this really a Rockford Fosgate product? This amp needs better than double the amperage (2 alternators) of a pair of Rockford Power 250.1 AMPs that produce 1840 clean Bass Watts. Good if you want to run an SPL vehicle using 10s only. Low bass sound quality does not exist in this amp. In Short do not use with a Stroker! My Punch 200.2 at 450 watts sounds better on the Stroker than this AMP! It did however slam the mess out of my Ultra Excursion 10" Audiobhans but did not do well at producing Low end on them either. The 200.2 again made better Low Bass below 60Hz. I reinstalled my 250.1s and wow that is true Rockford Fosgate from 20Hz to 80Hz flat! If it is your goal to have high SPL at 60Hz this may be ok for you. It did well at this range and I sort of got used to it there but I will be selling mine off on ebay!
