not true. Rockford makes great stuff. The amps are the best part. I just dont think that these boxes and those subs mix toghter well

I dont know why people are suddenly basing all of the major brands =(

The only descent RF stuff is their T series subs and amps, and those are all way over priced. I sell RF and trust me their are a lot better brands out there. Dont get me wrong their fairly descent but way over priced for what they push out.

Anything from their power lineup is good. I have their Power T10001BD amp is rated at 1000watts at 1ohm but came with a birthsheet of 1514watts at 1ohm. Still underrated power.

hmm thats weird because i have had my amp for 3 years, its been in 2 totaled car wrecks, NEVER overheats and always performs to its max.

seems like they are awesome to me, i tell all my friends to get fosgate amps, and NO ONE has ever had any problems...

one shop here guarantees the rockford amps for as long as you own them...seems pretty damn good to me...

for subs, i like the alpine type R series, heard the new X types are awesome as well...

blackhawk I have the Perfects in the front and the 63.7's in the rear powered by a alpine 4 channel and they sound awesome! not too sure about the JBL's cuz I havent head them but hey they are jbls so they should be good quality, I wouldnt get the basslink tho, its kind of a weak sub and it is powered so you will not need an amp with it if you do end up gettin it...

i have Perfect 6.1 in the front and stocks speaker in the rear.
I power the 6.1 with Infinity 475a bridged 180watts per channel.
They sound loud and clear.

you should get the Infinity Kappa Perfect 12dvq for the sub,
It is the best Infinity sub. I will get myself one eventually
"Car Audio" magazine review states " I could feel them in my chest, and the note shifts are clearly defined and controlled."

http://www.infinitysystems.com/car/p...946_eprint.pdf

They tested the sub with 2000watts . Don't make the mistake underpower the sub and speakers.

I'll back Digital Designs, Audioque, Elemental Designs, or Resonant Engineering woofers any day over ANYTHING you can buy at a Best Buy or Circuit City. Nothing mainstream can hold a candle to anything these guys make. (/thread)

Yeah I for some reason ED doesnt seem to make high quality subs. Ive heard a couple, and yeah they sounded good but I wouldnt rate them as some of the best subs. They are just good for the prices... Some of the best clean sounding subs I have heard were RE, DD..
