Nice amp. Rockford is under the assumption that this is a monoblock amplifier, which means one output, non-bridgeable.
Did you customize the circuit to make it multichannel and bridgeable, or is the 1200 a new tech that is different from all other monoblock amps?
Just a plain jane class-D Rockford Mono amp.

I went to a production facility in PA where they make the moulds for things like shoe soles, car dashboards, you name it. The guy showed me some Nike ones and said "It costs about $5 to make a pair of Nikes in Brazil". This was when they were "only" a hundred a pair retail.
Amazing markup due to a name.

Everything is that way. Even the subwoofers we all love. Just try to get a motor assembly that was mined and produced in America.
The old Catch-22. We want to get the highest pay possible, yet get our goods the cheapest way possible.

You are really going to ride this out huh. So obsessed you had to look up my amplifier. Nobody is talking about bridging the AMP.
Do you know what a speaker connection is, a speaker terminal, a speaker output?
Says the guy who scoured the internet for my username to see if I was on any other groups out there that he could try to get info on me from.
I sure do know those terms. Apparently you are confused.
Do you know what an amplifier output is?
Do you think a terminal with nothing behind it is an output?
If I have a terminal block with 10 spots on it, is that 10 outputs, or 5?
Do you think connecting wires together is bridging them?
In amplifier terminology, a terminal is not an "output".
In amplifier terminology, wires that are simply connected together are not "bridged"; a mono amp cannot be bridged.
In amplifier terminology, a mono amp with 5 positive and five negative terminals on it for connecting speakers is not a "5-output" amplifier. it is and always will be mono.
In amplifier technology, a monoblock amp has only one output, even if it uses multiple transistors in parallel to achieve its power spec.
This is basic knowledge you should have gained if you ever read a thing about audio over the years.
Have you ever built an amplifier?
Terminals are commonly referred to as outputs...been like that since I was you hooking up my first system...it's away to simplify things...you keep beating the dead the horse...you said something stupid but instead of just owning it...you've gone every direction you possibly can to avoid it...
That would be the PlainJane line. Mine is just plain jane, unlike Thx's mono Rockford that has multiple outputs and internal bridgingWhen did RF release a "plain jane" line?
Is this four outputs or two?
If I connect it to my battery, does it quadruple the output?
What if I bridge it?
And what I said was to a neophyte who was providing partial and/or inaccurate info about his amp.
What I said holds true as his amp was essentially low-grade stuff, and I think you said the same about it.
The beating of the horse is being done by a guy who can have his feelings proved wrong six ways from Sunday, yet still insist with 100% confidence that he is correct.
And people like you who bolster his confidence by gladhanding and backslapping him.
Reminds of of that movie "Carrie". Just wait until you pour the paint on him.
