Strength:

All the controls and power hook-ups are on the front easy to mount and access.

Weakness:

Dont really find anything wrong with it but one thing is that just like all endcaps on all rockford fosgate amps everyone allways looses the cap mine off my 702 rubi. Is gone too when i bought it.

Strength:

Great sound. That's pretty much what I look for in an amp. I also like the wire cover thing.

Weakness:

Could use some more effecient heat sinks; goes thermal a bit too quickly at very high volumes.

Great amp. Had it a while. First on two 12's.. then on 4 12's... currently on 1 15... Soon to be on one 10". Should kick ass.

Strength:

Great sounding amp
Rock solid stable at 2 ohms bridged/1 ohm stereo
Great connections for all wires

Weakness:

Cannot disengage subsonic filter

This is an excellent amplifier. You will not find a more musical amplifier for the money. They are quite stable at 2 ohms bridged, and I have only gotten mine to shutdown once at 2 ohms. That was on a 100 degree day when the car was in a hot parking lot for 8 hours. I then played the system at a high level for about 30-40 minuts in a traffic jam. Finally it shutdown. Pretty impressive. Highly reccomended.

Strength:

This amp has quite a bit of power for its cost.

Weakness:

I have owned a Reference 500, 100, 10.0, and a Rubicon 702 and 1002. They seem to all have a problem dissipating their heat properly. Seem to shut down in summer weather. They also say they are bridgeable to a 1/2 ohm or even lower. This tempts the wattage freaks and they end up frying their amp. Stick with 1 ohm or higher.

$200,$500 all different

Strength:

Excellent power and fidelity, and clarity. The subsonic filter can be disengaged if you use hawkins bass control instead.

Weakness:

It's blue. 2ohm bridged draws a lot of amperage, go with a 4 ohm bridged load, for the same output but better current stability in your vehicle.

Very good amp. Got it from crutchfield for $400, when they were getting rid of SS. Running 4 10's nicely.

PPI 2150, which is a slight bit better.

Strength:

Very underrated
Awesome 2 ohms bridged/1 ohm stereo output(well over 1000 watts)
Very musical
Excellent connections and controls

Weakness:

Subsonic filter cannot be disengaged

I love this amp. It's an incredibly musical amp, and a steal at it's price. The 702 puts out a ton of clean power at 2 ohms, something that isn't common in or even slightly above it's price range. The subsonic filter can be useful, but personally, I wish it could be turned off. Excellent overall.
