[QUOTE="akheathen, post: 8319712, member: 629234"] sounds like he is trying to sell you on new equipment. i have alwas been far from a rockford fanatic, however, the ones you have are typically far underrated. i had one of the t5001's (bd-t5001, iirc) like yours, but first release, and it actually clamped nearly 1100rms, and pretty darn efficient. just look at the fusing (3x40a) or yours may have the single 125? or 100, but i bet the birthsheet is over 1k rms. i'd imagine the 8004 is similar, and you have lots of headroom for the mids. he is right on the matter of size, though. that 4ch is huge, and the 5001 is no petite either, but reasonable size for the power. i say do much more research, i've seen a lot more of the newer rf amps come across the bench, or in sheds just cooked. if you want to save space, look around at replacing that 800 first, and components or coaxials that match the power range you can supply. i would go with 4 nice sounding ones, over 2 power hungry door speakers, and they wouldn't be rockford, either.
