Rockford Fosgate Punch 800a2 Car Amp

Pros: Pushed multiple speakers to their limit
Cons: Overheats and may cut off

Rockford Fosgate has long been the standard for Amplifiers and Speakers. They have been around for a while now, and are widely use in many sound competitions. They are especially noted for ranking in the Top 10 in the IASCA Competitions, and the USAC...

Pros: Great Power, Lots of Bass, Great Price
Cons: May be too much power for most subs

I have been an audiophile for the past 5 years and this is one of the best deals for amplifiers on the market. This RF 800a2 puts out around 1000 watts. To tell you the truth, you can find this amp for great deals if you shop around. I used to work at...

Pros: Lots of watts for the dollar
Cons: not 1ohm stable, reliability, ease of use

As a product specialist at Best Buy, I have thoroughly tested
this amplifier and found all of its advantages and drawbacks.
Overall, you get a lot of watts for your money, but the amp
is not stable enough to be reliably used for more than...

Pros: Mucho power, nice price, versatility
Cons: allen screws for mounting hard to find a wrench for if you lose it :o)

I bought my Punch 800a2 just about a year ago, and I could not be happier with it. Fosgate rates this amp rather conservatively. 200 x 2 (4ohm stereo) 800 x 1 (4ohm mono). Remember that these ratings are RMS. This amp will put out these numbers...

Pros: great value, clean sound
Cons: none

Fosgate had the best amps around in the old school days of the early 90's, but I have not been impressed by most of Rockford Fosgate's newer amp styles, but the 800 a2 by Fosgate is a monster. It pumps out around 1000 watts, which is a great deal for...

Pros: Can hit low, and I mean low Hz levels. Looks nice, has nice inputs,
Cons: Retail price ain't worth what you get. can get distorted in insane situations

I bought this car for my 1986, 56 horespower Chevrolet Nova. I used it to power one RF Power DVC 12 both at 2 and 8 ohms. I got it off ebay for $350 brand new.

I really can't remember the stats off hand, but i'm...

Pros: Good amp for your money
Cons: The powerline series that came out has more power.

The Punch 800a2 is a great amp if your going to drive 1 15" 2 12" or 2 10" subs. But the only problem that I had with it was I had 3 10" HE2 subs in a box and it would over heat and shut down, ever time that I would turn up the volume to "bump" and type...

Pros: Hot
Cons: None

You turn a knob. WHAM! Bass drum pedals pound twin drum heads with demonic precision and a 45 Hz heavy metal cannonball slams into your ribs. Thanks to remote-controlled Punch Bass (available on all Power series two-channel amplifiers), you just gave...

Pros: good power, quality
Cons: pulls alot of juice off battery

I recently bought a 800a2 rockford fosgate punch amp. I have it installed in the back hatch area of my pontiac firebird. I am using it drive my 2 twelve inch subs in a sealed box. It works great. I have the amp bridged into 2 ohms that puts out 400 watts...

Pros: deep, deep, bass
Cons: price, but not too bad

I just purchased this amp about a month ago and I am running it to three JL 12 inch W6's. Man, you should hear the sound roar out of these babies. This amp is unbelievable. I knew it would push them, but not this hard. I believe that they sound...

Pros: the whole thing
Cons: none

In addition to this awesome feature, the new Punch Power two-channel line picks up where the Punch series leaves off, piling on the wattage and expanding the range of the built-in variable crossover.
it has many key features stereo, bridged mono,...
