i feel that that will be way more power than i need. im going to get 4'12's or 3'15.

Typical birthsheet of the t2500 is 3200-3300 watts rms. Also more flexibility, same power at 1 and 2 ohms.

Birth sheet claims don't mean **** unless its ran on a test bench. The SAZ will crush it. That crowd probely don't know what a SAZ is.

What does your electrical system look like? Both would be good amps IMO.

The RF don't even have a adjustable SS filter. 28hz or nothing

It doesn't even have a gain remote. It's got a boost control.

What else negative about the rockford? Lol.

Effiency is around 60% at 1ohm. That's about all I can think of. It's looks hot.

the bdcp is proly some of the best models rockford had made wiothin the last 10 years. They are excellent in giving u wiring options, as it was said earlier, they do around the same at 1 and 2 ohm. So if ur rise is ok, you w9ill still see a ton of power.

Now, do i agree witht the pricetag ??? NO

do i think that a better choice can be made for that money?? Yes.

BUT, bashing the bdcp 2500 is not helping the guy.

OP, u can get a bigger amp for that money. If u want the fosgate, go for it
