[QUOTE="jonB, post: 295909, member: 548994"] Actually i've owned fosgate amps in the past and I have been in car audio over 20 years, I think i am qualified to make an accurate judgement on these amps. Fosgate amps are typical among people new to car audio as they quite frankly are a well-marketed product. You can find these amps virtually at any best buy or other large consumer retail outlet. If you've seen the insides of these amps the circuitry is substandard, the transformers are poorly designed, and very small caps for amps claiming such power. Fosgate amps are also known to run VERY hot (hotter than most amps) and are known in the Audiophile circles (just do a search on any car audio forum with established audiophiles) as being distortion boxes. I am thankful for the day my fosgate amps were stolen many years ago as had it not been for that I probably would not know what a real amp sounds like to this day. Fosgate used to be a very good product in the very early 90s but the stuff they are turning out these days is inferior and just very very shitty sounding particularily their subs. You know when a manufacturer is desperate when they have to stamp "FAST AND FURIOUS" to their product wake up people!! ps. It's typical for people to support a product at any-means-necessary when they OWN the product. This way they dont feel like fools for purchasing it in the first place. The only people defending fosgate products are people new to car audio or ones that have not heard any other amps so they have to justify to themselves that they spent money on a crappy amp. You can argue all you like but simply put, you're arguing off emotion, not logic. You mention fosgate amps to anyone who knows something about car audio and it should be an embarrasement. These amps are shitboxes and if you are stuck with one, well...keep trying to convince yourself that its decent. It would be analagous to telling someone that you payed good money for some radioshack pc speakers because the salesguy said they were good. Good job!!!!
