T10001bd

Protection circuits will still be fully intact.

Don't let the word "modded" make you think its automatically a better amp for your needs, seriously consider exactly what you really need your new amp to be able to do for you and make your decision based on that.

i dont think the mtx is better cause its modded its just that it has to be to run my subs at 1 ohm on it...everyone says the mtx is a solid amp and im more curious which would sound better? and the mtx puts out 1000x1 at 2 ohms 12.5v where as the rockford puts out 1000x1 at 1 ohm at 14v...so the mtx is putting out as much power 2 ohm at a lower voltage then the rockford at 1 ohm and higher voltage...im curious if anyone has been able to compre the 2 in sound quality

That rockford will put out more than 1000w at one ohm at that voltage. More like 1300-1400w+ as they are underrated.

the rockford amp is pretty good...but i've heard good things about the MTX although i never heard that MTX in action

The RF is heavily underrated from their "rated" power. Most of them will do 1000w @ 2ohm and ~1600w-1700w @ 1ohm.

Also, the only reason RF is "rated" at 14.4V is because they are CEA-2006 compliant.

You won't hear an audible difference between them.

that 1001bd the RF?

generally the RF would be a bit more exspensive and you'll get close to the same quality out of each..... im running a modded mtx 1501d @ 1 ohm with no problems..and i run the ***** hard.....

the mtx does an amazing job at 1 ohm...and for 235+ ship (in the classified now) that is one HELLLLLLLL of a deal.....if u can get the rockford for that price then go for the rockford but IMO the noticable quality differance is going to be slim to non and u can get the mtx alot cheaper.....
