Rockford Fosgate PUNCH 800a2

This amp worked fine until recently when i hooked it up it seemed to be fine it turned on, but when i hooked up the speaker wire it started smoking, i yanked out the power wire as soon as i could. i dont know much about amps, but i know this amp was the best iv ever had and they are somewhat rare so I'm sure someone would like to rebuild it. I know that it was rebuilt about 2-3 years ago, what was replaced i don't know. comes with the amp, back cover and the side fins(not in pictures but included)there are a few missing screws.

Make offer, there is and eBay auction going to the amp and its currently at 20.00. PM me if you want the link.

i had exact problem with mine. it was a great amp, extremely powerful and unregulated so more juice in means more juice out. I know that those amps are pretty **** inefficient tho. those test at well over 1000rms, and thats alot for a very inefficent class a/b. Stock electrical typically cant support those amps...never did find out what was wrong with mine
