Best Buy ... good bye RF

"Today, the car audio marketplace is more mature and Rockford's strategy does not align with Best Buy. The decision to part ways marks a strategic shift in direction for the Rockford Fosgate brand and allows us to focus even more directly on building our lead in the premium mobile audio category."

...does that mean they're tired of making cheap stuff so they can sell it at a big box store?

....now Polk and Kicker wants to get some of that //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Having Rockford Fosgate in your car is like wearing Girbaud jeans //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

I think I still have a shirt buried somewhere.

That's right. I can promise each and every one of you that we're not going to let this get to our heads. The quality will still remain the same.

I used to work at a top 10 BB for car audio and we rarely sold RF anything, maybe 10 amps a year and a bunch of 6x9, 6.5s and subs. I actually like the small footprint of the punches now and they still do more power than rated.

yea RFs amps are still greatproducts just too PRICEY. and it seems there quality went down when they started with Bb anyways....maybe now they will see what the rest of the CA worl d is doing and those prices will fall a lil.

Have any of you seen the new I-Beam from RockFos? It looks pretty cool, you should read on it.

RF was good stuff back in the day of the Power/Punch HE AND HX series. They still make decent stuff nowadays i just think there quality went down when the ownership changed hands.

I love how Kicker can sponsor olympic snowboarders but not people in their own industry. Bunch of fucking douchebags.
