Boston & Rockford Amps

[Chich]

In the process of buying new amps and have decided to go with either Boston GT or Rockford Power series amps. Would appreciate some feedback from those who have, or who considered buying these amps (general pros and cons).

I've also been told that Rockford seriously under rate their outputs. More specifically i've been told that the T4004 would spit out 90w rms @4ohm even though Rockford claims 25w rms @4ohm. True or complete BS?

Cheers,

Anth

rockford amps are really underated. the t1001 puts out on average 1450 watts rms and it's rated for 1000. a lot of people don't like rockford cause it's mainstreem, but i wouldn't mind running a rockford amp.

Thanks Jmac.

These rockfords are seriously under rated.. looks like good bang for buck proposition. Anyone use the Boston GT amps?

I was able to do a AB test with Rockford Fosgate DSM and US Amps USA series amps. The US Amps blew the Rockford out of the water. I would have sworn the US Amps was double the power! Though they were rated the same 50 watts X 2. So I kept the US Amps I bought for $100 and sold the Rockford for $180+ on ebay lol! If people only knew! So I am telling you.
