Rockwood amps

I have the X479 and for a cheaper priced amp ,Id give it a 7-8 out of 10 rating . I used it for 2) 10" pioneer subs ,Then for a single 15" Lanzar sub. Both setups sound great. Now it's being used for my mids. The year I bought it was around 2000 and it's still going strong .

The hero we need but didn't deserve.

I knew this thread had to be old when the name Rockwood was in the title. Not a brand that has been around for a while.



On a bumped thread note, it reminded me to about 23 years ago I got a 4 channel Rockwood Sniper series amp at a thrift store for like 10 bucks. Still have it somewhere, maybe I should slap it in my truck to drive the door speakers.

I never had a rockwood...I did use a couple of American pro amps for a bit

Which lead me to seeing if I could find said amp. Nothing like an old ampgut photo. So it is the PA-2090 model I have, about a foot long or so, probably does around 50w per channel real world power. Not totally horrible, but cheap budget ancient style design.

It's got many years of dirt on it, and have not powered it on in a long time.

What do you guys think, should I run my truck door speakers with it at some point? Probably does close to 75 - 100w x 2 bridged.
