Rockford Fosgate 500.1 Prime sub amp
Daniel from Neenah, WI on 12/20/2022
2013 Ram 1500
Perfect match to my Rockford Fosgate dual 10" 2ohm sub. Just when you think the volume is going to start distorting the speakers it keeps going and will put a smile on your face. Very impressed. I cannot imagine anyone needing anymore than this, and this is connected to a junk factory stereo in a 2019 GMC acadia. I have been using Rockford Fosgate since the 1990's and have been never disappointed. And pair that with Crutchfield's ultimate customer service and lighting fast shipping.
Pros: Very well made, clean power, heavy for a smaller amp.
Cons: Never

Jonathan from Circle Pines, MN on 6/23/2022
My old Rockford Fosgate R500X1D went out after 8 years of faithful service. It took my subwoofer with it, and a fuse for good measure. Based on the specs, this model seems to have better protections than the older model so that if it goes out, it won't damage other parts of my system. Otherwise, it was basically a drop-in replacement. I appreciate that the manufacturer QC's each unit and includes the QC report and measured power rating, which is generously over the advertised rating. Happy to be rocking in my car again!
Pros: Good sound, built-in circuit protection, easy setup, quality construction, fits under seat

Paper weight 3 months after warranty
Malcom from Albany, GA on 11/14/2021
2008 Ford F-150
Worked great until 3 months after warranty expired. Then the "protection" started kicking on at low volumes. Sometimes it will play for about 10 minutes then start shutting off again. I have two Hiphonics amps that I have pushed hard for over 10 years without a problem. I expected more from my favorite amp designer.
Pros: Compact size Pushes hard
Cons: Quality is not what RF used to be

Great amp
Crutchfield customer from Lenox, GA on 5/30/2021
2020 GMC Sierra 1500
Great little amp. Hooked it up to to an older P3 shallow 10"(300rms/600peak) that I had from an older build and put it in my new truck. Running it at 4ohm and have the gain set less than 1/4 from the lowest. This little amp would easily push 2 of these speakers at 4ohm and probably a couple of 12" at 2ohm. High level inputs made it easy to integrate to my factory system. Amp is very small but doesn't seem to get hot. Very impressed with how good this thing is at the price point it is at.
Pros: Small, efficient, powerful, value priced.
Cons: I wish there was a cap to cover the wire inputs for a cleaner look.

Very impressed with this amp! Paired with a D4ohm Kicker CompR (wired to 2ohm) in a small sealed enclosure. This amp packs a punch, test paper stated @2ohm load-614watts, more than expected.
Pros: CLEAN circuitry helps with adjusting the settings to eliminate distortion.
Cons: Was not a fan of the angle connections for all wires, made it somewhat awkward.

Evan from EDMONDS, WA on 4/1/2021
2015 Subaru WRX
500 Watts clean power! It does what it says it's going to do, and does so without complaint or issue. The infra-sonic (high-pass) filter really helped clean up the lower bass register and even damped some of the resonance in the body trim panels! The CLEAN sensors were a nice touch. The gain on this thing is pretty touchy, but in my experience that's usually an indication of quality components. Overall, I'm pleased as punch! The ONLY thing that could have perhaps been improved was including a second set of mounting screws that were just a little longer (the ones in the kit are very shallow) - but that's splitting hairs and hardly necessary to enjoy this thing!
Pros: Features are awesome POWER! Clean, stable signal Easy Install with clear instructions
Cons:

Crutchfield customer from Glastonbury, CT on 8/21/2020
2008 Ford F-150
I've had this amp in my truck for about 3 weeks. It's powering 1 10 inch Rockford Fosgate r2d2 wired at a 4 ohm load. I'm not going to lie, I'm a bit disappointed with the amount of bass. My gain is set rather low, but the clipping light still comes on during hard hits. I think I need to get a subwoofer that can handle the full 600 watts rms before I full judge the bass output. Other than that, it is a great looking amp, reasonably priced, and I think if I use all the power of the amp I will be much happier with it.
Pros: Reasonably Priced Looks great Great way to get into a low-mid range sound system
Cons: Wish I would've used the full power of the amp instead of cheating out on a 250 watt rms sub

Fosgate still reigns supreme
Crutchfield customer from Suffolk, VA on 7/26/2020
2006 Toyota Sienna
Affordable amp packed with condensed Fosgate power with no strain on the unit itself. Bought (2) R2-500x1 for my (4) subs and I can barely turn the gain up 1/4 way. No distortion or annoying road noise interference. Rockford Fosgate had a great reputation over 25 years ago, they still have professional quality with improved technology and reasonable prices.
Pros: -speaker level inputs for factory receiver -low pass filter -long wired level control -C.L.E.A.N. setup system for easy EQing. -variable subsonic filter
Cons: -deep sockets for mounting screws (had a little difficulty mounting the amps. The screws would get stuck inside the mounting hole sockets if not dropped straight down).

King of the Punch
Crutchfield customer from Tyler, TX on 5/10/2020
2015 Ford F-150 Lariat
This amp is perfect for an everyday or novice audio enthusiast. I had two Rockford Fosgate P1's and this was the solution. Old amp was under powered, this amp solved that and makes them move and sound great. The Clean I.N and Clean O.U.T is a great feature so you are getting clean power at whatever volume. The punch and gain adjustments allow you to fine tune exactly how you listen to bass, whether you want more punch or more boom. If you need 500 watts this is the way to go.
Pros: Clean power, adjustability, easy to install, easy to read instructions, small, clean look.
Cons: Mounting screws are a little short, but easy to make a backing that is easy to mount.
