I am a newbie to knowing about car audio. I was just wondering if mixing a different brand of amp w/ a different brand of subs makes that big of difference?? And is rocksford fosgate good for amps?

No and Yes, If you take amp "A" and amp "B" for example. Amp "A" is a no-name amp which puts out 400 Wrms. Amp "B" is a top of the line amp, which also puts out 400 Wrms. You won't be able to hear the difference, therefore it wouldn't matter if you used a rockford sub with a rockford amp. But, with that being said, some companies such as rockford,jl,kicker, tend to underrate their amps. So you might get a rockford amp that says 400 Wrms, but it actually puts out 50-100 more.

Using different amps than subs-etc. makes no difference. It all lies in personal taste and system requirements.

The only time problems can arise is when you mix and match different brands of subs within the same install- as each has its own low end characteristics which can cause cancelation between the subs.

Rockford does make a quality product, and have been arround for a while. You should be quite satisfied with any equipment from them.

take it easy,
