RF T5002, double rated power?

[tyler_fitz 10+ year member]

i was browsing ebay and i found a seller claiming that the rf T5002 does double its rated power. over 1000w into a 2ohm bridged load... is it even stable at 2 ohms bridged?

yes , its a very powerfull amp, i had one before one of the channels shit out on me...

i had even wired it to .7 bridged and it bumped for quite a while... although that may be part of the reason one of the channels went out //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

i just looked at the auction, thats a **** good price for a t5002, seeing how people were trying to sell them for $200 + shipping on here //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

RF claims the T5002 has an actual average output of 1054watts rms @ 2ohms bridged or 527watts x 2 @ 1ohm stereo.

Just as an FYI, if you want a T5002 your best option is HighDesertAudio;

$30 cheaper + shipping is nearly 1/2 the cost.

They are also the authorized RF ebay outlet. It's a refurb, but has been repaired by RF to meet or exceed original specifications and does come with a 90 day factory warranty whereas the link you posted will come with zero warranty (the guy may be an authorized B&M, but he's not authorized to sell on ebay). And if the refurb were not repaired correctly or had other issues, it should become apparent well within those 90 days.

yes sir

 

[tyler_fitz 10+ year member]

are there any other amps out there that'd put out 1000w @ 2 ohms for that price?

for the price and that quality i dont think you would find anything better unless it's a private sale
