Sq and loud

Price is way higher and no bass knob. But very happy with RF as expected. RF amp just says 1500bd,no cp on front like others? But it's on the serial numbers fyi. 1-10. Give a 8. Sq is great .

THE BEST PERIOD!

QUALITY! QUALITY! QUALITY! Sure, there are other amps out there that claim to give you this type of power but that's on paper. Rockford is the only amp that has a birth sheet proving their product actually out performs the specs given. Other amps: - Are not CES certified - Will go into protect mode when you give them power they claim they can handle - Overseas cookie cutter companies that put their name on the products - Don't have a 2yr warranty like Rockford Fosgate - Are not CTA-2006 compliant. Which mean your amplifier's output power ratings are REAL POWER, not inflated marketing ratings. etc....etc I can go on & on but before I run out of characters allowed, check out RF www & Crutchfield www for all the technology RF put in their amps & all their products because they love what they do & are passionate about their products they make for US! I recommend anything RF & I'm not a fanboy. I simply experienced their products over decades to understand what makes them THE BEST PERIOD!

Great quality!

Excellent amplifier. Rated at 1500w but the dyno bench test shows it actually puts out 1920! More than enough power to push my 2 Alpine Type Rs. You can't go wrong with RF. I Wish they had also included the bass control knob too instead of asking another 40 for it, but hey, it is what it is.

Unbelievable Power! Saw this amplifier on the dyno and it had a burst at over double the rated power. Can't wait to put it in something with an alternator and feel it's power!

Like it

I'll start by mentioning I moved to this from a rf p1000 running 2 P3D4s. The sound before was good and the knob rendered the full spectrum of bass. The gain was over 1/2 and having the hu fine tuned for zero bass to it's full potential. This t1500 doesn't seem to have as wide of range meaning it's more all or nothing. This could be a result of my first tune w it. Regarding that, the gain adjustment is on the bottom so this limits my adjustability access the way it's positioned in my set up. I do like that the bass seems to have increased. On the p1000 the subs were 1ohm and on the t1500 they're at 4ohm. This possibly gets them closer to their full sensitivity potential. Volume is able to get higher even w the gain seemingly high for my taste. All in all I do like it and it's the continuation of my upgrading. I did the big 5 and don't need a capacitor or ho alternator for my impala, it seems very capable of keeping up.

Big Power, Bigger Heat.

Purchased both the T1500-1 to go with a pair of Rockford T1 15"subs, and also got the matching 600-4 4 channel for the highs for a system I installed in one of my vehicles. Immediately I had problems with the 1500 getting far too hot, even with the volume turned to low levels the amp would become too hot to hold your hand on within 5 minutes of turning it on. I returned it for a replacement and the second amp did the same thing. I contacted Rockford and they told me the 1500 runs hot due to the power supply but having worked as a installer for over 10 years I knew this was not normal. I could only use it after installing a fan to blow air on it, and it performed well after that, even though it would still get much hotter than it should..

it's ok

gives good power but at the expense of the sound, it doesn't sound as clean as my DD m2a nor as clean as a JL HD 1200. the CP tech is good and hits hard but made my subs sound blah. I have Morel Ultimos and so it just made them sound less articulate and detailed. Now in direct comparison to the JL HD1200, I would pay the extra money for the JL for the SQ and tbh it's plenty loud even for me.

I originally bought this amp to power 2 12w6s but while they 're on back order i currently have it pushing the hell out of 2 12w3s! It sounds like heaven! Very powerful! Have big 3 uprade & ho alternator & i love it! Its pushing 1500 true watts rms, well at least it feels like it!

Wilson

Absolutely perfect. I've always been a fan of Rockford Fosgate amps. In my opinion if you're looking for top of the line then this is it. I purchased the T1500 to power my 2- JL Audio 12W6V3 in the sealed JL Audio enclosure. I've never been happier. I was running them on a Skar 2000.1D and there's no comparison. Don't get me wrong Skar makes excellent products however it can't compare to the clarity and continuous power of the RF amp. I have finally perfectly tuned it. It's running at 4ohms and dyno'd at 1222 watts RMS. I can't handle the gain past 3/11 the Punch EQ passed +9db and the bass knob less than 1/2. It vibrates the wipers on my Acura RDX. After 20 minutes of intense bass your teeth hurt. It's a absolutely amazing set up. Definitely worth the money.y next goal is 2 JL Audio 13W7AE and the RF T2500. That's $5k worth of saving. As for now I can't complain. This amp is definitely worth the money.

NOT IMPRESSED...

Honestly, this amp had good strong power... but i wasnt impressed with the sound quality. The fact it doesnt have adjustments phase or subsonic filter was disappointing. I felt for this price it should wash my dishes! Way overpriced for a 1500 RMS monoblock. I TRADED THAT AMP to another person cuz i didnt like it.

Best Power Mono Amp

If you want clean sounding insane bass, bass that makes women's hair jump in static just for fun, this amp is a work horse, you will need a decent capacitor cause the bass will make your lights flicker, I use the true 10 Farad Hybrid, Rockford Fosgate makes one or NVX makes one as well. You can run multiple amps thru them if needed.

T1500.1

I have had several fosgate amps they all make more power than rated. I rated 4 stars not 5 because I have seen the T1500.1 shut down from heat after running hard a couple hours at 1 ohm. but it cooled and restarted like nothing happened. I do recommend it. I recommend 2 ohms for daily use because it will be more efficient and run cooler. I had a t1500.1bdcp on two 15s they hit 147 db

This amp pounds my l7s at 4 ohms very nice quality and true power. Only reason for 4 star is most birth sheets come in at 1900 watts at 1ohm but mine only made 1700 but still more then it advertises. Best amp for the money.

Good power, punch has best chassis

This amp lives up to the Fosgate name. Loads of power in a small footprint. I upgraded from the punch 1000 watt BD amp for the constant power option. I wish the power series used the punch chassis. The punch amps are mostly metal where the power series has alot of plastic. Not as a premium feel with the power amps. Also not too keen on the side mounted level control's. Overall I like this amp but would prefer the punch if it had the power and constant power option.

Impressive System design!

I had Crutchfield design a system for my 2013 Duramax Crew Cab....very impressed with the quality sound it produces......and man can it hit! Soooo flipping loud it's obnoxious to all who don't appreciate a kick butt system! Way to go Crutchfield! Now about the system.....it all starts up front with an Alpine INE-W960 head unit. Had this professionally installed as the existing Bose system was a pain to remove and incooperate the new system into the Onstar naviagation. But anyway removed existing 4 ...door speakers and 2 post tweeters as Crutchfield recommended new MTX speakers. Then we had a custom down fire box made for the 2 JLAudio 10 inch W3v3-4 subs. Crutchfield decided to power the door and post tweeters with a JL Audio 4x....man the high ends from this 4 channel amp is unbelievable! Now to the big boy Mono amp.....the part that vibrates the neighborhood windows and got me in trouble with the neighbors as their dogs began to howl and cry at the booming music! Ha ha! Rockford Fosgate T1500 powers these subs which cannot come close to handling it so.......Crutchfield sent me a Kicker ported box that houses 2-12inch Kicker COMPR that comfortably sits on my back seat when I really feel like turning it up and making the dogs cry! Lol! All 4 subs are wired into that mono beast....watch out! This awesome system Crutchfield designed can play all sorts of music and sound amazing as it does it! Many thanks to Crutchfield....u guys rock....great tech support too!

Rockford Fosgate T1500-1bdCP

I've had this amp and a Power 400-4 and both are absolutely amazing! I have 2 P'3 12's @ 4 ohms in a custom box tuned to 32 Hz and they pound hard wiwithout my amp ever breaking a sweat. I installed 4 fans on my amp rack but I've never had to turn them on not once because my Power amp barely get warm even in the summer. I'm in the process of reckoning my T2 4 ohm 12 inch woofer so I can finally see what this amp does @ 1 ohm. The birth sheet has this amp doing 1912 rms @ 1 ohm but I've only ran it 1214 rms @ 4 ohms. It's THE BEST sub amp I have ever owned hands down!

I have this installed in a 2015 Dodge Charger along with a T400 on the 6x9's in the doors. This is a BEAST of an amp. Clean, solid power! Doesn't get too hot either. Drove over 3 hours with the subs pounding and could still touch the amp with bare hand after the trip.

Great power for my subs

This thing is a beast. I know it's pricey, but you get what you pay for. It's pushing 2 NVX VCW124's at 1 Ohm and it's pushing these things hard. My birth sheet said 1927 watts x 1 at 1 ohm, so you have to have the electrical system to handle this thing. Throw a couple small fans on it and you won't ever have a problem. I did also use reducers for 0/1 gauge wire for the amp and 8 gauge wire to the subs and I don't have a problem with heat. The PEQ remote is a great addition as well.

two is the ticket

The quality is fa-nominal, Let me start with I have upgraded the big three and two yellow top batteries, My subs are massive 12 hippos in a box tuned at 40hz 7.1 cubic feet, 5.9 with subs. I have each sub at 1 ohm. each sub has its own Rockford fosgate 1500-1bdcp. birth sheets 1952 and 1950 watts. I can say being at a god smack concert up front by the sound stage (speakers) has nothing on what is occurring from vehicle. it will take your breath away, it shacks your eye's. Lows so low it shacks the cars around me at a traffic light.. It is the best I have owned, I have had several other amps with higher watt ratings on their sheets and they do not preform as well as these amps do. I am very much sold by Rockford fosgate.. you get what you pay for, I have received more than what I payed for from these amps.

Unbelievable power

I had a different amp rated at 1500 watts before getting this one the difference is unbelievable. Rockford still brings it. My soundqubed 10 has come to life and is slamming my truck. Songs that were lacking punch earlier now sound as they should. My birthsheet rated it over 1900 watts but the thing that really sold me on this one is the Constsnt Power when a speaker moves or is playing a sing your ohm load will change for most amps that means less power but not with this baby. Buy it and you will know what I mean. Next year im thinking of upgrading to the 2500 beast and getting a second 10".

I hear bells ringing!

Holy moly Batman! I still hear bells ringing in my head. Talk about some thump! Hooked this badboy up to two Alpine SWR-10D2's subs in parallel in a 2-Ohm load and made all my initial amp gain settings and so forth with my head unit and x-over and Blam! I'm running this in a 2004 Ford F-150 STX with a complete wall behind my seat. Subs are lined up directly behind my seats in sealed boxes. (A little hint for you... Sealed boxes take up less space and have a tighter response and sound better in a truck IMHO.) My neighbors totally hate me now! Lol! Now I wish I would have bought the 2500 Watt version though, although the Alpine subs might not and probably wouldn't be able to handle the full power of that monster. Don't waste time with other sub amplifiers, just buy a Rockford Power series and you won't regret it! Do the Big 3 Upgrade while your're at it and use 1/0 AWG Oxygen Free Copper Wire or this baby will starve for power.

This is a beast

Havent upgraded my alt yet but even now this thing has beaten a sundown audio SA-12 to pieces literally. Anyone familiar with those subs knows it takes a lot to blow them but this amp can definitely do it. Sound quality and power output of this amp are exceptional. Best I've ever owned and I only ran at 2 ohm.

T 1500-1 bdcp

I use this amp to run two 15 inch T1's. The amp has plenty of control over the subs running it at a one ohm load. It's performance is flawless. I have it mounted on the rear floor pan in a Nissan Versa hatchback. If this is the amount of power you need I highly suggest you get it and have a huge smile on your face like I always do when listening to mine. One last thing , I would suggest getting the PEQ remote, as it does come in handy.

Seven years strong!

I bought this amp about 7 years ago and have run several different systems with it. I currently run a JL Audio 12W7 with it and could easily run another. The amp has been in 6 different cars and has not failed me once. I run a single 4ga power cable as the manual suggests and it powers it easily. It seems so small for what the power that it puts out but if you're running some decent subs, it'll speak for itself if anyone has a problem with how physically small it is. It's just good technology, and it can be so small because it's well built and efficient.

Serious Power

If you're looking for a powerful amp that actually does what it is rated and some, this is the amp! I'm running a Rockford Fosgate T2 15" woofer @ 1 Ohm and with this amp and it SLAMS! According to the birthsheet it is doing 1830 Watts RMS @ 1 Ohm, with that being said make sure you have a high output alternator and definitely a 200 amp or higher fuse. This amp sucks power for sure! Definitely worth the money.

Tons of power.... BUT!!!

I just put the Power T600-4 and T1500-1bd in my car. For shear power these amps are awesome! My one and only complaint is the shiny plastic cover they put on the amplifer. At high volume they rattle soooo loud I cant even listen to them. I would have gladly taken a matte or brushed aluminum finish over the shiny rattle trap. With a T1500-1bd and two Power T1 12" subs, chasing down rattles is hard enough. Now I have to worry about $$$ worth of amplifers annoying my ears with a high pitch rattle from their oh so pretty casings. Deal, or No Deal? I say... NO DEAL!

MONSTER

If you are looking for top of the line power and world class SQ look no further. I love the bd-class, it matches great SQ with the power efficiency of a class D amplifier. The new heatsink design disperses heat evenly so no part of them amp overheats. The 1ohm load rating is just off the charts: 1932. I would suggest using a Digital Multi Meter when hooking this up to get the proper gain and crossover settings(or a processor http://www.crutchfield.com/p_109MS8/JBL-MS-8.html?search=ms-8&skipvs=T). The power and SQ this monster puts out is unbelievable.

brute force in a black box!

Being 32 yrs old, I have had a lot of amps but now I've come to appreciate better quality such as this Rockford 1,500 watt + powerhouse. Before I bought this amp for my little commuter car I had a JL J2-1000 amp but it couldnt keep the power up like this Fosgate beauty does. I had my T1500 powering a JL 12w7 in the HO box, but I've also got a pair of L7's in a Kicker box for loud pound. This amp is under-rated a good bit, and will put out plenty of clean power with a good strong charging system. I rebuild alternators for a living, and let me tell you this: a nice quality 140-220 amp alternator, big 3 upgrade, and a true deep cycle or AGM battery will let you turn amperage into some serious wattage with this amplifier. It has the real deal birth sheet that displays power output numerically as well as graphed. Mine stated it made 1,908 watts at 1 ohm, 1,755 watts at 2 ohms, and 1164 at 4 ohms... If you run it at 1 or 2 ohms make SURE you get a 200 amp ANL fuse! This puppy will pull some current. I really like my JL Audio 1000/1v2 amp in my other car for hi-damping & sub flexibilty, but when I want to feel raw power and lots of it, I go down the road with my new RF T1500-1bdcp bumping my subs... Constant Power!
