Summary

Overall an extremely good amp. I had a Rockford Fosgate G800a2 back in 1999, but sold it after purchasing a Soundstream CA 10.0. What a mistake! After signing a sales agreement with Audiobahn, I sold the Soundstream for yet another (2000w) disappointment. I sold off my business and all my demo car equipment in spring of 2002, and went with just a factory headunit and factory speakers for the next year. It left a void in the car, so in spring of 2003, I went shopping again. Remembering back to how good that G800a2 sounded, I purchased the "New Old Stock" bd1000 and a Boston Acoustics Pro 12.5lf. I had problems with my box design, and melted the coils on the 12.5lf soon after buying it (Boston 12.5lf in my opinion is still one of the best sounding subs I have ever owned). I decided to purchase something overkill and once again, thinking back to my early days of car audio, ended up purchasing a Orion HCCA II. The 12" sub is rated at 2500w RMS in a sealed enclosure. It is a DVC sub being driven at 2 Ohms by the Rockford. It sounds amazing, and the entire setup is completely stealth in my 1990 Geo Metro (go ahead and laugh). I am running Premium 4 gauge wire to the Amp, and Premium 8 Gauge wire to the sub. People are very supprised when I decide to show off which is usually when "some kid" is playing rap with his license plate rattling off and trunk buzzing. I have dynomat throughout the floor and fenders of the car. It is deafing inside the car, and you can actually watch the windows move in and out of their frames from the outside.

Strength

Very strong, clean amp when properly installed. Amp needs GOOD 4 ga. wire, and don't underestimate your speaker wire either. No clipping, or high piched sounds as reported by some other reviews, Installation issues?

Weakness

Very high draw, but a good amp needs a good power supply and cable. Think of it as trying to suck a grapefruit through a straw. 12 ga. wire is like the straw, the grapefruit the energy.

Summary

Anyone who talks bad about this amp is wrong.Dead wrong!It is better than the jl 1000 slash series.I know cuz i had one and the rockford out preforms it by a long shot! its twice the amp than most. if you dont think so you never had it installed correctly. so dont blame the amp.Great equipment to have in your system.

Strength

1 ohm stable with no cap.just 4 g and sum subs is all you need

Weakness

amp whines a little but then goes away

Summary

I have 4 of this monsters each one of them powering 3 6ohm dvc's 400rms ma audio subs in a toyota pickup a let me tell you that i've never fell that much bass... this amp are way underrated and they're 1ohm stable daily.

Strength

everything

Weakness

none

Summary

THIS AMP EASILY PUSHES MY PPI DCX 124 SUBWOOFER. I HAVE BEEN A LONG USER OF FOSGATE AND THERE IS A REASON WHY. THEY MAKE GOOD PRODUCT.

Strength
