Rockford FosgateR1200-1D Prime 1,200 Watt Class-D Mono Amplifier

I'll start by saying that this amp is awesome. It pushes my two P3D4 12s like no other at 1 ohm. Its wayyyy cheaper here than the regular retail price, and it ships in two days (with prime). I highly doubt you could find a way to dislike this amp if you're building a simple daily driver sound system. I was able to easily hit 150 db at about 30 feet away.Pros:1. Its powerful. Each amp is tested by Rockford before shipping and they send you the sheet listing it's true RMS at 1 ohm. Mine pushes 1287 watts. SAY WHAT?!2. Its tiny. I couldn't believe they squeezed 1200 watts out of this petite little thing.3. I looks cool. Like a big black and silver brick of awesomeness.4. It comes with an awesome bass equalizer and all the hardware to wire and place it.5. Its easy to wire. I had my previous amp wired with terminal connectors, but the Rockford requires only that you insert the bare wire into the terminal on the amp and tighten the screws with the provided allen key.I like to try to be a little critical, but it was hard this time. So...The Cons:1. The "4 gauge" terminals on the amp seem to be a little smaller than my KnuKonceptz 4 gauge wire. I had to trim a little wire off and still struggled to get all of wire in the terminal. (I do not have the same problem with my girlfriend)2. If you already have wiring terminal connectors on your wiring, you'll need to take it off, which is slightly inconvenient.3. The light on the equalizer (bass knob) is very, very bright blue, and is almost blinding at night when driving. And, its the EXACT same color as police lights, which caused me a little panic the first few nights of driving with it, as I kept thinking the reflection from the light was a cop trying to pull me over (Trying is the key word).There is no way to turn this off short of unplugging it.4. It'll leave you wondering what you've been doing with your life (or at least how you've been coping without this thing while driving).5. It will make your car fall apart. I have a 2006 Honda Accord. This thing makes it vibrate as if it were made of plastic bags (My girlfriend loves it). After having the amp for one day, I ordered 50 sq ft of sound deadening to combat the awful vibrations. So far its working. (She wants to to take the sound deadening out)Great amp, great price, go buy it now.

Really enjoy this amplifier! It’s very powerful and feels extremely well built. I have it powering two 10” Kicker L7 (dual 2 ohm) subs and it’s more than enough power to get them moving. Honestly I can’t turn the gain past 4-5 without overpowering them. The Punch EQ isn’t that great (just turn it off) but other than that I’m pretty happy. Does run pretty hot in the trunk of my car, but my trunk is VERY sealed and I haven’t ran into any issues with it going into protect after hours of heavy use. Only complaint is the adjustments are on the same side as the connections. Also, 4 gauge wiring is the max you can fit, it’s honestly pretty tight and you need to trim so edges off to get it to fit.Update: I ended up replacing the L7’s with Memphis M5 12” subs and wow! Even with the amp being “underpowered” for the subs (400W per speaker when they want 600W rms) the bass is so clean and strong. It literally flexed the roof of my Mercedes S550. Zero distortion, no issues with it going into protect mode, nothing. It’s just a great amp that I recommend to everyone on a budget.

I absolutely positively love this little thing, this amp is rockford fosgate's lowest tier being the prime series but this thing delivers better than you would ever expect it to. the design of it I was kind of disappointed in. For a rockford fosgate amp I would expect the wires to be better managed and hidden, its a looks nice but looks ugly at the same time but that it for the cosmetics of it. Functionality wise and build quality wise this thing is super super small, you can mount it pretty much anywhere(as long as its safe) and it is a full metal build and man for the size this thing packs a serious punch. I am running mines currently at 1300 watts RMS the birth sheet rating it at 1398, and it does not over heat, does not clip it just keeps pounding and with this amp I am running two alpine type R 12's that are rated at 1000 watts RMS each! I have made 2 car alarms go off while going through a parking lot so when I say it packs a punch it really packs a punch. The only design flaws I see is it doesn't have built in fuses on the amp which does worry me slightly and again its not the prettiest especially with the cable management with the wires being exposed like that but its the BEST AMP i have EVER bought.
