Old school Rockford (500.2). What kind of power?

[alxmlr789 10+ year member]

I just bought an Old School RF 500.2 amp, claims 125x2 @4, 500x1 @ 4

I know for a fact they do rated power, but how much more can i expect out of this amp?

600 + or is that asking too much?

I figured some of you oldies on here would know.

Thanks guys.

I wouldn't really call that old school, lol. In 1999 I had a 250.2 that did 334 @ 4 on the birth sheet with rated power of 250. I would say that 600 watts RMS @ 4 ohms bridged without clipping should be easily attainable with a 500.2.

ETA: THIS is old school and does 500 watts RMS @ 8 ohms mono. It has been modified by TIPS!

yeh that amp should do over 600 @ 4 ohm, keep it @ 4 though dont go any lower //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Yeah, i probably just shouldve said "older" not old school. lol.

Anyways, decent buy for 100 shipped?

If it works and you like it, it is worth whatever you were willing to pay for it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Seriously though, $100 shipped is not a bad deal at all for that amp.

not a bad price or amp

a buddy of mine has a T5002 rated at 250x2@1 ohm or 500@2 ohm

actual birthsheet rating is 986 rms@ 2 ohms
