Today's test is the Rockford Fosgate T800.4 (2006/2007). It is rated at 200x4 or 400 x 2 (bridged). I will make an effort to post a video on Tuesday's, at least a couple times a month, highlighting a different amp each time. More amps to be tested soon! Some will pass, some will FAIL!
*DISCLAIMER - The amp testing you see me doing on my BENCH, is exactly that, on my BENCH. It is limited to 3 12v batteries and 3 14v batteries. You might see the starting voltage higher then the 12.8 (12v) or the 14.5 (14v) bank. That is because i have a 10a intellicharger keeping the batteries fresh in between rounds. The 10a does not contribute much at all to the power supply but the voltage appears higher as they try to replenish the batteries. It quickly comes back down once the test starts. The AD-1 was designed to be brought out to your car and amps tested while STILL in the vehicle. The test results will be highly influenced by the electrical system YOU provide while your amplifier is being tested. Although my bench is FUN, it is probably limited to about 1800-2000 watts. Smaller amps will show better results as they will not pull the battery bank down as hard. I will test some very large amps but they will need to be hooked up to a larger power source, like my Tahoe with 4 alternators and 10 batteries.
Serial # 00001 is in the building! the SMD D'Amore Engineering Amp Dyno AD-1 is about to set the standard in car audio for amplifier ratings. Does your 5000 watt amp really do 5000 watts? Whether it is car, pro, or home audio, the AD-1 AKA the Honey Badger, does not care.
Remember, the amp dyno isn't so much about your amplifier not making the power as it is WHY the amp isn't making its power. If your electrical system, or some other link in the chain is not working to its full potential, the amplifier will not either. The dyno shows any small change you make in REAL TIME.
For serious inquiries, email : wcCarAudio@gmail.com and put in the subject AMP DYNO.

I think the model number of this amp is T8004 (without the dot) and they are from 2005/6 time frame. I had a T4004 once and it was rated at 25x4, but actually did over 100x4 at 4 ohms. Man, I have a TON of old school amps and the Amp Dyno would make my testing SO much easier! Really enjoy the tests man, keep them comin'!!

@stephenwheeler8021 Год назад

Is it possible that you could get the t8004 and dyno that amp? I just got one the other day for free and I know it's not doing 50 per channel.

@littlejln213 2 месяца назад

Haha

@luc5tar 8 лет назад

Had this amp a few years back . Performed well. Can't go wrong with RF !

@LAYNEO99 11 лет назад

I'm running that same amp. Love it. I like the new test bench Steve. Kudos. Keep up the good work man.

@GroinsItchin 9 лет назад

Rockford fosgate always seems to test higher than rated especially old school fosgate

@bobbimcneely6511 7 лет назад

@TownbizzsinaloaMOB 10 лет назад

Great video your THE MAN STEVE, hopefully one day I get a chance to meet you this video made my day even better knowing that I bought 3 of these amps yesterday and today I have the 3 RFT8004, the T20001bd, the t30001bd now I need the T40001bd, these amps are Real amps, thanks for all of your Videos, and whats great about these is that your a very humble guy........ 510 The Bay Area man yeeeeeere

@JTSpencer 11 лет назад

One hell of an amp for sure. Great test Steve

@chaunceysnicklefritz4196 9 лет назад

This is a great example of how low voltage effects and amp and clipping. I bet that amp only put out less on lower voltage was due to clipping. I wanted to do this test myself but didnt have the equipment, great vid.

@jmc1127 8 лет назад

Yo Meade.....I gotta say......you are the Real Deal! I'm an ol' school Fosgate head from back in the day......like.....Mosfet Power 300 and 650 ol' school. Not only can I appreciate your allegiance to the RF brand....because it PERFORMS....but like Big D Wiz, you are objective.....you represent everything that is pure about being a "Big Bang Stereo Enthusiast"! Keep up the good work......one Leo to another! JMc from Dallas!

@radiotech181 11 лет назад

Thanks man for that Great AMP test. Rockford Fosgate Amps kicks ass!!

@0000santimos0000 5 лет назад

Hey Steve. Been watching your videos for a while now, and its great stuff. I was wondering if you have ever thought of testing DJ amps on your dyno. Im thinking about getting a Rockville RPA5 500 watt amp for my DJ system, and wondering if it do what it says it do.

@rjhint1993 11 лет назад

Yes sir I agree. The lows at the beginning are a beast. I have 2 l7 15 and those last 2 lows sound beautiful

@hornerable 11 лет назад

@boomjeep99 11 лет назад

Big jump from 12 to 14 wow on the 14 v im impressed,,,,,great info video steve!!!!

@hightech346 11 лет назад

RockFord amps is all I use because I don't have time to be going back and replacing blown amps. I don't do a ton of installs anymore but installed a Power T-500 and punch 400.4 several years ago with no issues recently put this in another Hummer. And I've installed a total of 14 amps in 3 limo's for another customer. 2 amps in the small limo /5 amps in the medium sized limo and 7 amps in the new limo. No issues other than some blown speakers and they play @ high volume all night long.

@cuzimaluzer777 11 лет назад

Oh God i love amp test Tuesdays!!

@NickRon06 7 лет назад

Hey Steve u know where I can get the cover for those amp I got the same and missing the cover or does anyone know???

@jromenomusicnolife 10 лет назад

hey steve i was wondering. I see you do the amp tests. Is there anyway you can test one of them power acoustic MOFO 15 inch subs to see how much punishment it would actually take? thanx man. Love the vids and your one hell of a builder. keep it up

@mikecriss7494 7 лет назад

Have you tested a t1001bd amp and if so how can I find it on RU-vid thanks

@4getfull89 11 лет назад

Very nice Steve

@nickmoore4212 6 лет назад

Steve would this amp be ok to run on a d2 sub I think wired down to .80 before box rise or is that to low

@ypw1979 6 лет назад

Hello Steve, I had 2ch RF T15002 and I'm going to put 2pcs RF T1-12 d4 (600wrms) subwoofers. My question, Can it handle for both sub woofers? Is it maximum with power? I would be glad to hear explain from you. Thank's for you appreciated.

@Ar0d 11 лет назад

Love these Steve. You're awesome

@eliezerbrito301 7 лет назад

hey steve wish amp you recomend on 4 8" crescendo pwx 8,the are 200 watts rms,help please,thanks

@daytona1445 11 лет назад

Another great test Steve, I love seeing these but they also make me wonder if my 2004 Kicker KX 450.2 and 400.1 are putting out anywhere close to what they should.

@trevorchuchmuch9369 5 лет назад

any kenwood bench dyno's? I have a kac9106D and am looking at a kac7005PS

@neiltrombley433 8 лет назад

hey Steve just wondering if you wouldn't mind checking out a couple of more mainstream apps such as the Alpine mrv 1507 or the TMA 1000.1 or even the JL Audio 1000/1 V2 as I am very curious to see what these people do and I've had them since brand new and I don't know what they will do

@floridabeaner9927 9 лет назад

Hey steve i have t800.2 do you have an idea where i could get the cover plate from been looking for 1 for years!

@jayrue239 9 лет назад

AYO Steve do you have a Massive Audio N2 or any Massive nano amp? I'm curious to see how much power that lil bad boy can put out.

@southernoverdrive09 9 лет назад

Steve, have you ever seen or tested any Power Acoustik amps? just wondering if there any good and if they put out what they say.

@ze_german2921 6 лет назад

I know this amp is only rated at 50w @4ohm per channel, you think she will do over a Hundred?

@toyota094 9 лет назад

Hey meade916 love the show and been watching for years. Was wondering if you could get your hands on a crescendo bc3500d for amp test Tuesday and see what she could do at .5 ohm.

@roberthollis2412 8 лет назад

hey i got a t8002. is its numbers gonna look as good? and how low on ohms can i get with it... got it in a pawn shop fer 200

@hadbl12 5 лет назад

T3002 is a nice one as well for dynamic power

@martinl1991 11 лет назад

I'm looking forward to see a new one every tuesday

@mr2jzgtte 8 лет назад

Id be cool if you could test some old Mtx Road Thunder amps....i have an old thunder 2160....she seems pretty beefy

@grego463 9 лет назад

Can you test the amp cerwin vega brand ? And thanks for making awesome vids

@meade916 11 лет назад

thanks!

@nickmoore4212 6 лет назад

Damn the amp dyno has been out for 5 year already lol but for real this was a big plus for car audio A simple test that shows clear as day what companies are bs and overrate their amps and helps people like me that are just getting into car audio find a amp that puts out what it says it does or close to at least so we don’t buy something and hope its doing rated power and think it’s legit because of that bs CEA-2006 compliant logo lmao

@routerexcitment5332 6 лет назад

How much in RMS does this amp do at 4ohm into 2 channels ?

@aguydude3563 6 лет назад

From what I see and hear RF are very good amps, but I have a dilemma. I bought a car from the local police auction and when I opened the trunk it was missing the woofers in the custom made box,so I removed the the very well built enclosure only to find 1-4000.1..1-2000.1 1-800.4 all on back deck..I took the three amps to a local stereo store and the 4000.1 doesn't work. So my dilemma is is it worth fixing and who can do the work..I really like your dedication to stereo atmosphere and keep up the good work

@meade916 11 лет назад

when you actually install this into a car, you will set the gains according to what they are being used for. If you need all the channels to output the exact same amount of power, for a set of woofers for example, you would gain match the front and rears. This test shows how much power the channels are capable of, but there will always be small differences between channels on any brand of amp (before gain matching).

@nickmoore4212 6 лет назад

meade916 just a noob question but the first test was bridged to 2 channels right and the 2nd channel put out almost 100 more watts then channel 1 is that a sign of an issue with the amp ? And if you can run subs on this amp would it cause an issue because one sub seeing that much less power ? It seems like they would be battling each other and not moving in sequence but i don’t even know if this amp can run subs or just for door speakers sorry if it’s a dumb question it had me wondering. I have a t15004 and a t8002 both mint I plan to use on my first real build they are beasts !!!

@DarkLinkAD 11 лет назад

Almost 1400watts, I have found a new fav channel.

@MR.GREINER 2 года назад

This amp is rated by Rockford at 50x4 RMS at 4 ohms. So what is it really putting out at RMS/per channel at 4 ohms?

@jagpaw330 11 лет назад

Love your videos!!!! Do you have a rough estimate of the true rms wattage that the power acoustic ovn 1 5500 puts out?

@Wigwam93 10 лет назад

@meade916 Yo can you somehow get yours hands on an Alpine mrx-m240 and test it, cuz I'm curious how much power this can actually put out?? Thanks :)

@dbkaz1355 3 года назад

How good are those little kitty kicker like 300 600 watt amps

@MonsterShorts 11 лет назад

my dad still uses his punch 150's and they still work great

@lftdblazer 7 лет назад

I miss my old 04 model t800.2 from back then. that thing slammed my hx2 12's. would love to see you test that model. my birth sheet said 1340 watts.

@420brown69 11 лет назад

i had 1 of these amps and those things work hard. had it on 2 L7 and RF 12s

@Uberlight2 11 лет назад

I own a Hifonics GLX60.4 but it is my first 4 channel amp so i have nothing to compare it to, I want to know if they make the power they claim.

@meade916 11 лет назад

because Rockford amps are underrated. Please don't complain. The last amp i tested had 1200 watts on the top of it and did 199. LOL....

@XFader505 11 лет назад

I've owned two T4k's and BOTH of them blew some MOSFETS on both amps. Everything was correctly installed, but I just didn't have any luck with them. I've owned AQ amps, DC, and even a Sundown with no problems and the same wiring. I still love me some RF products though. I'm running 3 T400.4's still for mids and highs. Amp Porn!!!!

@damstachizz 11 лет назад

And this is why i buy RF amps. May be expensive, but when they're putting out sometimes double what other equally rated amps put out, it's worth it. My little 300-1 is meant to put out 300w, the sheet included with it says it'll do 430wrms+ @ 14.4v w/2ohm, and i believe it.

@oroinhcca150r 11 лет назад

I think its the dust cap that came off of my powerbass 3xl 15 will it be ok to still bump or what should i do???

@tekate313 5 лет назад

I don't know if you've heard bout the rock series amps I recently bought one it says it does 1000 rms at 1 ohm don't know if you'd be interested in testing it ...saludos from Mexico I like your videos and installs

@shawnwhited794 5 лет назад

I'm super happy my buddy bought one of your Dd1's so I'll know for sure all my amps will be tuned without any distortion cause my last big system with my 6 15 in JL W6's and my precision power Pc 2350's I kept hitting my clipping points and that shit alone will drive your ass insane trying to find that perfect gain sets till I just would turn it to around 3/4 of the way and just said fuck it and walked away lol what was super nuts was my amp put out 1400 @ 4ohm bridged but when we checked the out put it was only 5.5 ohms and if I tried to add another sub or two it would take it down so low it would cut off cause it wasn't stable to that ohm load that was something that had me puzzled for years have u ever had a problem like that before it was like either the sub ohms wasn't correct or the amp wasn't reading it correctly but when I took the W6's out and put the 8 15 in JL W0's 8 ohms it worked out fine as far as the ohm load. Went and I got a real serious question can u take a duel voice coil sub and run matching amps and wire one voice coil to 1 amp and the other voice coil to another amp and if need be maybe put it on some kinda gain splitter splitter to where your getting the same exact amount of watts through both amps to 1 single sub ??

@Djmambo77 11 лет назад

good job. could you do a test on audiobahn or kenwood excelon?

@raoulwright1317 11 лет назад

Yes please, I have two brand new Hifonics BRX24000.1D that I purchase for my RE AUDIO XXX12D2 and I'm hearing the same thing. Some say they are BS, some say they are cheap and some say they are sae compliant to the watts that's specified. I just need to know before I open them up should I keep them or send it back and go with a different line.

@NoiseBoysGarage 11 лет назад

Would big Juan test my current system on the amp dyno here in tempe and what would it cost ? Saving for the imsg have the cc1 that I bought from bryan at ms

@sanjaydean1499 7 лет назад

hey can you do a dyno on digital designs m4 amplifier

@817eduardo 11 лет назад

So why is their quite a big difference on the channels output? Like ch1 vs ch2 on the same test run?

@DaYoda191 11 лет назад

Steve i would love to see you test one crescendos bass clef series amps. I own a BC2000d and love it, considering there great price, i am curious as to if they are putting out rated power or more or less.

@setbrew45 11 лет назад

hey steve i was just wondering if you had a kenwood amp laying around and if they do what theyre rated like RF does or if theyre like boss or pyle

@caleboneill2710 8 лет назад

meade916 can you put the Walmart dual amp on the dyno?

@jdrr03 11 лет назад

Hey Steve I have a t2500bdcp why does it sometimes go into thermal mode?

@douglascenteno1 11 лет назад

keep them comming. nice vid.

@robotaustin12 11 лет назад

steve when you charge your batteries do you unhook all your amps and wiring? i never knew if i can charge while everything still connected so to be safe i unhook everything. if i didnt have to that would save me a bunch of time. thank you

@r3dhaz32 11 лет назад

Mr. Meade changin the game.

@stacy532 10 лет назад

love the test some of us want to see the new hcca orion amps too...lol

@Uberlight2 11 лет назад

Can you test any of the hifonics amps? A lot of people are making a fus about them and I don't know whether to trust them.

@connersmith414 11 лет назад

The hifonics amps are cea approved that means they get sued if their amp doesn't put out the rated rms power right?

@davidslayjr 11 лет назад

Amp test Tuesday...SM has done it again...seen ya on that OAOS nice!...did that glass cut you??? Lol

@TheCreeker01 11 лет назад

What kind of amp should i get for my 2 12in power acoustik mofos 5400 watts max

@mtxpert 11 лет назад

I sold Pyramid car stereo and PPI back in the mid 90's at a shop in Phoenix. The heat sink on the Pyramid was 20x bigger than the PPI so people wanted to buy them. They weren't so happy a month later when the Pyramid was broken, woofers blown and it never got as loud as the system in my car with a PPI A600 and a pair of 10's. :)

@gevergreensfinest 11 лет назад

hey steve i was wondering if u could dyno the hifonics brutus brz1200d if see alot of good comments on that amp and im curious on the numbers

@Gamefreak1220 11 лет назад

is there any way you can test the power acoustik rep1-6000d, my cousin just got a fosgate 2500 and said i could have it, so i just want to know if its worth a shit or not

@metalrott324 7 лет назад

Could you do a Kicker DX500.1 ? 500W rms @ 2 ohms

@jkammerer19 11 лет назад

Hey man amazing work! Keep it up but I have a Kenwood KAC-7205 1,000 watt amp. I was wondering if sometimes soon you could dyno it, cause im very interested what the true ratings are for it, and if it'll really pump out 1,000 watts.

@bigdsmokesalot5297 11 лет назад

I live in Tempe AZ, I would love to work wherever your SMD products are made. Does the rockford factory make em?

@mason2441 11 лет назад

Love the amp test even though I have no idea what's going on.

@MR.GREINER 2 года назад

Agreed. We just want to know how many watts RMS each of the (4) channels puts out.

I was wanting to get some help on an amp selection i have two kicker c12s (both are 4 ohms) that im going to wire them down to 2 ohms, and i want a mono block amp that's not a cheapy nor really expensive. Already have an amp its a kenwood kac-8105D will it work ok?

@mtxrules 11 лет назад

jx1000/1D from JL audio would be an interesting amp test. great video!

@kennethcarty3566 7 лет назад

Dyno the kicker 1000.1 zxs I want to see if it really can make 1500 rms at 1 ohm

@Dustycameras 11 лет назад

do you think the rockford r500.1 would be good for dual 10s?

@davidslayjr 11 лет назад

Ok...so witch one is repping real world like I hook it up in my car and start listening to it loud...certified...unceritified or dynamic...or is it all 3???

@solematrix 11 лет назад

Steve maybe by chance could you one day test one of the sound storm ev series amps I got three they seem great but would just wonder if it gets the power it says
