rockford fosgate, opinions?

if the amps have "Punch" on them .Then they ar egood!! the rest is rubbish. The "8" series head units are some of th ebest units ever made.

The speakers??? never used them

But I reccon" JL Audio" will go the same way.

The rest are rubbish?? haha obviously dont understand the power of well a power...their tweeers speakers put out a very clear vocal sound. What amp are you using on your system?

OK!! I have 2 T1'S in my system... I have them facing forward in a 1997 corolla with 2 4" ports 11" long ported through the rear deck... now playing nellys E.I. It will do 140 db I know this isn't much but I'M MORE THAN HAPPY WITH IT!!!... off a FOSGATE power 20001 amp... I haven't tried playing test tones or getting new batterys or upgrading the altinator yet... I absolutely love their new power series line! There power amps are fan cooled and I have pounded on my sub amp for hours on end on long road trips and it stays BARELY warm... They have done a very nice job on the new amps with the venting! GO ROCKFORD!! And the T1 woofers POUND!!!!! I couldn't imagine what this would sound like facing backwards... my set up is built for sound quality.

AT our shop in maine it takes MAYBE 3 weeks to get repaired rockford gear back... No longer... I have been a rockford woofer and amp fan for the past 6 years!!! I used to love their speakers too but I can't seem to keep a pair longer than 1 summer... what can I say I LIKE IT LOUD!!!!!!!!!! maybe its just my fault? lol but I love the new gear!! You'll get what you pay for!! make sure the woofers are in the right box and feed them enough power and you should LOVE 'EM!!! I don't mind the low end gear but I have moved passed low power handling woofers lol I am power hungry haha but the low end gear may be cheeper but some kids can only afford that stuff and they are more than happy with it!! Some kids have never experienced a few thousand watts into a multi woofer set up and when they do their usually blown away!!!!

HAHAHA I love it....i blow away pretty much every system with SQ and SPL in my whole area where I live with my rockford system..kenwood sony audiobahn pioneer JBL JL  kicker  MTX infinity...kick their asses. A few systems that had the W7s and Solo X  Thunder 9500  had real good SPL....well the Solo same as the 9500 had good SPL but low SQ. Rockford does not suck. They are far from sucking. I have 2 12 inch T1s and they have a real good sound and knock really hard.

Also whats wrong with metal cones?

There could be one major problem with debates like this?

************* AGE************************ !!

Most young people today have only ever listened to  badly recorded ,compressed (And krap music anyway!!) sound.

very few will have listened to good records. Most have not got  aclue as to what is REAL bass etc. Its all noise to them.

Thats a good point there Luke, one can even see the difference in marketing and advertising that is aimed at younger folk from these companies. It's rather comical.

And for some, if it's loud, it sounds GREAT.  

Try going to the Mcintosh web site then RF's. You sure as hell won't see Bam Margera or cheesy customer installs hangin out on the Mcintosh site!
