rockford's *HIGH END* is better - but the rest of the stuff is comparable IMO.

but i hate RF and their 'bling bling' motto they seem to have adopted. they are turning into audiobahn.

Amps - Fosgate hands down

Subs - Fosgate

Speakers - Fosgate

HU's - Fosgate, PA has zero... But fosgate HU's are not really good.

I wouldn't choose either but I'll say rockford fosGAY wins this battle.

But fosgate HU's are not really good.

I've got an RFX-8240 sitting here that begs to differ //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

And try telling the guys running the RFX-8250Ti that RF decks aren't very good //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

They can be every bit as good as, say, Denon //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/up2something.gif.dd110ecf3ae4b76050d87598f2f8de7c.gif

imo - fosgate's speakers **** my ***. PA dosnt really have much of a selection - but from my expierence, id rather have PA speakers for less than rockford. i cant tell you how many times i blew my RF coaxials. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

and RF's low line of subs (p1) **** real bad. a kid i know just bought two of them. SVC8ohm //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/uhoh.gif.c07307dd22ee7e63e22fc8e9c614d1fd.gif and they have like 8mm Xmax. they ahve this crappy plastic magnet boot thing that looks like it will fall off in a week.

amps, they are still good - but this years model (IMO) looks like crap. i really REALLY dont like the look of them, but they do perform like they should. even though the model numbers dont match the power ratings //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

and i had a RF 9300 MP3 deck - mp3 support NEVER worked, if the deck got a little hot - CD playback would be HELLA distorted (so much that i couldnt even listen) and then the faceplate broke and i never got any display. so i moved to alpine, no problems - its been over a year now.

my expierence with RF = teh ballsac

i still hate RF.

I like rf

so sue me =)

I had 2 punch xlc 12" drivers powered by a mtx thunder302

they play very nice for such inexpensive subs, and they're still going strong after 5 years of use/abuse (in a friend's truck for the past 3 years) //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

i like my power acoustik a3000db, 2300rms for 330$ from an authorized dealer, how close can RF get on that

If we were to discuss who's items cost less, Hmmm PA.

And isn't that a3000db rated at 1800rms...

Put that A3000db up against the T2001 (rated 2000w @ 1ohm) and see which one has more power //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif As well as better efficiency, better options, etc etc......

Yeah, there are reasons RF costs more.

 

[tRiGgEr 5,000+ posts]

Hey squeak, have you seen the birth sheets on those T20001bd's? They are around 2400-2600 watts //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

like i said, their amps are still good - but look like garbage.

the rest (everything thats not TOP of the line) is 'meh - id buy it for cheap and sell it to some idiot for more' equipment.

 

[bamaboy 5,000+ posts]

LOL, and how much does that RF amp cost though? i could prolly buy a couple of the PA amps for how much 1 of those RF amps cost, and rockford is a good company, i would love to try out some T2s and some of their amps, but their stuff is too expensive when i can get just the same thing for less than half like an SX or something

and the a3000db is 2300rms@1ohm 1800@2 and 1100@4ohms

They are not the "same thing".........

 

[bamaboy 5,000+ posts]

i know but just using something close, has anyone tested one of those T2's, i would love to see how they compare to an SX and other spl subs
