If we learn from each success and
each failure, then we can improve ourselves

Foctory refurbs are sometimes a great bargain and sometimes a waste of money.  Beware of warranty... or lack thereof...

This post has gotten good input thanks and feel free to keep it coming.

erinh How long have you seen these high desert amps continue to perform well? Have you had them awhile now?  Also how do I look through their auction history?

septicdeath Have yours from high desert worked good for any length of time?

Forbidden Wow you must have really seen alot of amps come back to drop the Rockfords. Seems like everyone used to rave about those old punch amps but, as you said perhaps their quality has slipped as they try to compete price wise.

Clean install which Rockford do you have? Is it a model from a few years back?

I have the sub wired for 4 ohms so I can leave it that way to keep the strain off the amp. The punch 401 has plenty of RMS power bridged to 4 ohms for the 8 inch kicker.  The reason Im looking at Rockford is Id like to have a remote level control. I have seen that some kicker and MTX models have this as well.

Remote level control?  Bazooka, Alpine, JBL, Directed, Kicker among others offer amps with this built in.  Or use a PAC LC-1 to remote control the level of any amp.

Rockford quality is great... they will push out like brand new for a very long time and they take quite a while to die

i've had this stuff for 2 months now (still under warranty) and had no problems. the amps stay cool to the touch, so hopefully won't ever have problems with it ever burning up. i don't turn my speakers up to the point that they distort... so i don't really see why they'd ever blow. i've never had an amp or sub go bad. my only friends that have blown subs always turn theirs up way too loud (where they sound distorted). i personally think its safe to say if you install this stuff and it works then it will continue to work as long as you use some common sense. and if they don't work after you hook them up, they have a warranty. good luck.
