Rockford fosgate t5001bd

Silver Member Username: CblazeTn Us Post Number: 154 Registered: Sep-07 | powerfull little amp rated at 500 rms @ 1 0hm,birth sheet says 969 watts rms @ 1 ohm,got it running at 2 ohms for now and 679 rms and kicks my mtx ta4501 rated at 500 rms in the butt,and it barely even had a voltage drop maybe .1 volts at the capacitor,u could probabyly run this thang at 1 ohm with a stock alternater if it was one above 100 amps,best part brand new 230 shipped |

Bronze Member Username: ThunderbPost Number: 76 Registered: Sep-07 | Chris Maybe your birth sheet was suppose to go to a t10001bd. That sounds really fishy to me.I would take it to my local repair shop and have them put it on an oscilloscope. Then you will know for sure. I have a t10001bd and it only puts out 1052 @ 1 ohm , of course thats on the oscilloscope. The birth sheet was within 3% of this number ( 1081 @ 1 ohm) |

Gold Member Username: Nyyfan13Fi SSD USA Post Number: 6387 Registered: Jul-06 | thats probably absolutly correct chris....rockfords power series amps can be grossly underrated....ive heard the t10001bd doing 1500+....they are great amps....and jamey, im surprised that your t10001bd only does 1052.... |

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 3319 Registered: Jul-06 | ^^^^^ Agreed. I've seen many RF power series amps that do 500 watts more than they're rated for. That's probably at 14.4 volts though, so you won't actually get as quite that much. |

Silver Member Username: CblazeTn Us Post Number: 156 Registered: Sep-07 | actuallly jamie ive seen plenty birth sheets for the t5001bd doing close to 1000 rms.u must have the compact version the black ones that have fans on them there 40% smaaller in size and dont dont get as good actuaal rms watts |

Bronze Member Username: ThunderbPost Number: 78 Registered: Sep-07 | Thats Amazing !! Then I definately need to pick one or six of these pocket rockets up. If I could drop in power class by half I would dominate the spl comps around here. I just figured something else out, Mine is not the t series 1000.1bd mine is the original series like this one http://cgi.ebay.com/Rockford-Fosgate-Power-1000BD-Car-Audio-Amplifier_W0QQitemZ3 20167028834QQihZ011QQcategoryZ64570QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Still a nice amp but nothing like the t series as far as power goes. So Chris where did you get that amp anyway? |

Platinum Member Username: Rovin4 10 Pioneer... Post Number: 12329 Registered: Jul-05 | i know RF makes good stuff but i wonder if its such overrated so high for a 500wrms amp to do 900+ ? (maybe @ 14.4vs ?)...if thats possible then THATS fricking COOL ! |

|
Gold Member Username: 420alldaylongPost Number: 2702 Registered: Sep-06 | chris stiles What are you pushing with that RF T5001bd?I forgot |
|
Silver Member Username: CblazeTn Us Post Number: 177 Registered: Sep-07 | 969 rms @ 1ohm |
|
Gold Member Username: 420alldaylongPost Number: 2704 Registered: Sep-06 | What sub(s)? |

|
Silver Member Username: CblazeTn Us Post Number: 191 Registered: Sep-07 | 421 @ 4 ohms,thats pretty good |
|
Silver Member Username: CblazeTn Us Post Number: 193 Registered: Sep-07 | 421 @ 4 ohms,thats pretty good |
|
Gold Member Username: 420alldaylongPost Number: 2741 Registered: Sep-06 | 3 40amp fuses |
|
Silver Member Username: CblazeTn Us Post Number: 244 Registered: Sep-07 | yeah but if u dont got big fuses it aint gonna do anythang |
|
Gold Member Username: Naledge503Http://com4.runboard.c... Post Number: 2091 Registered: Jun-06 | Its called efficiency.... |
|
Silver Member Username: CblazeTn Us Post Number: 246 Registered: Sep-07 | duh i kno this but there is no amp that is 100 % efficeient.so small fuse numbers=small watts |
|
Silver Member Username: SomedonniedudePost Number: 319 Registered: May-07 | 120a. Thats still alot for a so called 500wrms amp. |
|
Bronze Member Username: BigbinkPhillyUsa Post Number: 39 Registered: Oct-07 | for me its hard to put a mtx ta series against a punch power now power vs 500w te thats even but I notice on a lot of punch amps the birth sheets are very overrated exspecialy on some models the t1000bd birth sheet is usally around 1050w to 1100w a 500w at over 900w does not make any sense why buy the 1000w at all. |
|
Gold Member Username: 420alldaylongPost Number: 2779 Registered: Sep-06 | All of the birthsheets I've seen for the T10001bd was 1400+ RMS at 1ohm. Are you talking about the P1000.1bd? |
|
Silver Member Username: CblazeTn Us Post Number: 247 Registered: Sep-07 | g irv we are talking about the power series not the punch series,punch is there lower line |
|
Gold Member Username: 420alldaylongPost Number: 2783 Registered: Sep-06 | There is nothing wrong with the RF Punch series amps but the RF Power series amps are all around better. Just thought I would say that. |
|
Bronze Member Username: BigbinkPhillyUsa Post Number: 41 Registered: Oct-07 | I still think some of those birth sheets are far fetched |
|
Silver Member Username: CblazeTn Us Post Number: 254 Registered: Sep-07 | i know but i like the power series thats there topline,and idk the fuse ratings is up there to do 1000 watts,they cant put fuses to big on it,cuz u couldnt protect the amp.but they are some clean soundning amps,i thank it will do the 969 rms @ 1ohm or more without a problem,& i duobt the ppl that test the amps would put there name on the birthsheet if they was lying abotu what it can do |
|
Silver Member Username: CblazeTn Us Post Number: 255 Registered: Sep-07 | and u notice a bunch of amps are rated at 1200 wats with 120 amps in fuses |
|
Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 3533 Registered: Jul-06 | GIrv, rockford = way better than MTX crap RF power series amps kick major azz and usually do at least 500 watts more than rated power. The punch series are not the same quality but they do rated power. MTX = very cheap components, but does rated power. It really becomes evident what using one of their full range amplifiers when SQ is actually noticeable. |
|
Bronze Member Username: BigbinkPhillyUsa Post Number: 47 Registered: Oct-07 | not saying the power series are not good what i was saying it would be better compared to the mtx te stuff than the lower class amps I use plenty of rockfor amps power series only |
|
Silver Member Username: CblazeTn Us Post Number: 259 Registered: Sep-07 | the mtx's dont have the best sq,but i give it to them they will hold up and do above rated power,but do need alot of amps off the alternater,rockford power series have very good sq.lol ppl a trip when u tell them the amp i got is rated at 500 when they here it,it will keep up with some amps rated at 1000 watts unless its underrated,the only thang i dont like about the mtx i got is it is rated at 500 watts but its not 1 ohm stable if it was it could keep up with the rockford amp i got |
|
Gold Member Username: 420alldaylongPost Number: 2804 Registered: Sep-06 | chris stiles Do you want to sell the MTX TA4501(how much) because I know someone looking for a amp if they didn't buy the Kicker ZX400.1 already. |
|
Silver Member Username: CblazeTn Us Post Number: 260 Registered: Sep-07 | naw and it would cost u more.get it wholesale,the reaason i say get it wholesale i payed more for it used.the msrp on that thang is 479.99..get it on this site for 180 bucks http://sonicelectronix.com/item_3821_--+CRAZY+DEAL--+--+MTX+Audio+TA4501+Thunder +4501.html# |
