Strength:
SQ, power, flexibility
Weakness:
Gets extremely hot, causing amp to turn itself on and off repeatedly in warm weather This amp has good sound quality, and quite a bit of power. I seem to have major overheating problems with mine, however. Currently, I am only running 2 of the channels to an Aura 5.25" component set. The amp is mounted (and this may be the root of the problem) in the hatch area (solar oven) of my '92 Firebird. In the *cough* "warm" summer months in Arizona, the amp will play for about 10 minutes, then it will begin a cycle of shutting itself off, waiting ~5 seconds, then coming back on for ~5 seconds, then off, etc. Really bloody annoying. I don't know if this is indicative of the design, or if I simply have a bad unit. If the outside temperature is below 80, it will run for a few hours. Similar Products Used: None |

The best thing about this amp is its versatility. This one amp powers my entire system. I have the front two channels running at 2 ohms powering 4 Rockford Fosgate FRC 1257 (Full Range Coaxials 5”x7”) speakers, and the rear two channels are bridged to a 4 ohm load powering 2 Rockford Fosgate Punch XLC 8 ohm 10” subs. The amp supplies plenty of power: (75 watts RMS x 4 @ 4 ohms stereo / 150 watts RMS x 4 @ 2 ohms stereo / 300 watts RMS x 2 @ 4 ohms mono).
Weakness:
It is very hard to get good bass in a convertible (especially when only small sealed enclosures fit in the trunk), so the only regret I have is that I had more power for my subs. I should have got either the G800a4 or a G500a2 for my Subs and a G250a2 for my speakers. Versatility is the key, in my opinion. This one amp is powering 6 speakers (4 coaxials and 2 subs); and it has never shut off or gotten extremely hot. However, this amp is rather difficult to operate, install, and maintain: it's not for beginners. Rockford backs this product with a 3 year warranty (assuming you bought the product from an authorized dealer - not on the internet) - which is longer than any other company. That's why everything in my car is Rockford! Similar Products Used: I have used MTX’s RT2200 & T250x models. The MTX 2 channel models are more powerful, but their multi channel amplifiers have poor bridged power and are not good at powering subs. My goal was to power both my subs and speakers with one amp. |

Bought the amp to power my 2 12" JBL GT series 12"s, kicks the hell out of them. sounds KILLER.
Weakness:
overheats... doesnt like 4 chans bridged into 2 channels. Overall a nice amp if your planning to run 2 speaks+sub, or 4 speakers, but dont bet on that amp holding up if your pushing 2 12"s Similar Products Used: had a 360aII, and it didnt get as hot, but also didnt produce the bass the 600aIV does |

Strength:
Plenty of power pumping continuously! Plenty of ways to run it with no lose of power. No too big of an amp.
Weakness:
bass boost buttons broke on me. that sucks. but other than that nothing! I've got this running 2 Fosgate 12s and it kills them. keeps them happy and thumbin all day long. alot better than the Kenwood that i had running the same subs before. Definately worth the money. Similar Products Used: None |

Provides plenty of power to any system configuration.
Weakness:
Gets kinda hot sometimes. I'm using this amp to power two Infinity Perfect speakers and a JL 12w6 subwoofer. It makes my sub hit HARD and my fronts give off very high notes. I immediately heard the difference after I installed this amp in my car. Would recommend to anyone looking to power 2 front speakers and one subwoofer. It would also go great with 4 speakers or 2 subwoofers. Similar Products Used: None |

Sound quality and power.
Weakness:
Have not found any. Very nice amp. I use it in my iasca competition car. It powers a component set MB Quart 215.61 Q series nicely. Good sound quality and power. Never overheated on me. I use all rockford amps (4) and would recommend this amp to anyone needing 75 watts x 4 of good clean power. Similar Products Used: Kenwood, Sony, Pioneer |
