I love them RF rite there damn they look and sound bad ass👍🙌🫵💪💯🙏😎....I always been a big RF fan since the early 90s even thow then been one of the best if not the first to ever do it since they started
Looks like my old 95 I had and sounds like it also mine was a 305 with 350 vortec heads and it ran like a scalded ape people thought that truck was slow cuz it was just a 305 but it hung. In there with the best of them and beat many 350s looks clean love it
Yes sir get you a set of factory 5 lug rims and a decent set of tires on it and you’ll love it I drove mine everywhere I drove mine 12 hours away nonstop straight never skipped a beat
It looks like those screws are too small to hold those subs. I use the screws Rockford provides and have to check them every so often as they start to back out from the vibration. Plus I realized that you are only using 4 screws per sub and i see rust on some which leads me to think they are drywall screws and not exterior deck screws or something of that quality. That isn't enough to hold those subs firmly in place plus its also causing extra distortion. I bet just bumping that a few days is enough to back those screws out.
Why are you referring to this Punch series amp as “Power series”? The term “unboxing” generally refers to new items in factory packaging. The data plate label on the bottom of the amp being wrinkled up like that looks like the amp has been exposed to a high moisture or humidity area…
the right sub is not right connected and you are loosing bass, try to swap the - and + cables to the sub then you will get the max performance out of them :)
swapping the positive and negative wires won’t help. it will be the exact same, apart from the subs will move backwards instead of forwards. if you wire one of them inverse and not the other, they will work against each other. always wire them in the same polarity
The question is where did you find T 0s? They had discontinued the 0s back when I was running Rockford! I purchased 1 on clearance and couldn't find another one online nowhere back then!
LOL... Ya would think that EVERYBODY knew that "ROCKFORD FOSGATE" is one of the TOP BIG PLAYERS in the aftermarket CAR AUDIO game... A Buddy of mine wanted to put some bump in his ride, so I said that I would give him one of my amps. (RF PUNCH) He just tossed it in his trunk and never even bothered hooking it up. So I got it back, and left him alone to his pipe dreams, and distorted blown half azz factory speakers... Basically he thought that since I had given it to him for FREE that it's gotta be just some NO NAME CHEAPO JUNK... SMH, WELL, I tried, some people are just stuck on stupid and can't be helped. A sad truth, but It's just the way it is... But he'll be alright because his Momma says that happiness comes from magic rays of sunshine that come down when ya feelin' blue... 🤽♂️
This enclosure looks really nice. It looks like it's going to be really strong and stiff. I'm not sure what the ports tuned at but it seems to be playing pretty low. The idea of using the midgate as part of the enclosure seems to have a lot of problems. I don't think that plastic midgate was designed to support a lot of weight or be airtight or rigid. This box is definitely the way to go. How are you liking it?
With your two Rockford Subs you want to make sure they are wired so that this amp is bridged and seeing a 4-ohm load. You can maybe wire it at 2 ohm stereo, but you'll need to make sure your gain controls are set identically.
I'm a big fan of the Old School Rockford amps. That particular model is Class A/B and not really suited for subs. I would definitely use that on mids and tweets. On a sub you want to make sure not to wire it too low (no lower than 4 ohms) and not push it too hard. Rockford does make class D amps that are a lot more powerful and sound just as good. They can also work at lower ohm loads.
Class doesn’t matter for subwoofer use necessarily. Class AB is meant to sound good. Class d is meant to be efficient. More efficient, at worse sound quality. It is more acceptable to run subs off a class d because distortion is harder to hear in bass. A class AB amp pushing subs will just be a better sound amp that pulls more current. For the size of wire you need for a 1000 watt class AB you could run a bigger class d amp on the same wire.
@brendenperry3770 People going around saying Class D sounds worse than Class A/B was 25 years ago when class D started to come out in the car audio market. With modern class D your not going to hear a difference. You CAN hear a difference between a well designed amp and a poorly designed amp, though. So you can have a good class D sound better than a poor class A/B.
