Rockford Fosgate (sp?) - any good?

[RSI]

My friend seems so goddamn obessed with his stupid speakers that I'm irritated at the mention of Rockford Fosgate now. I don't even give a damn if they're good!

so are they? 😛 ugh... he blew one of the bakc ones. What a dumbass, doesn't even realize it..

He just has two 6-by-9 speakers in the back (JVC or something in the front, smaller ones). No amp/sub.

RF is not competiton equipment...but for general purpose subs and amps, they are fine, despite a slight overpricing.

My friend has 4 RF 12"s hooked up to his home theater, enough bass that when he first hooked them up and watched a movie things around the house broke, fell, shattered.. I do like Rockford.

Seems to be the choice of idiot Camaro/Mustang/stereos-so-loud-and-annoying-it-should-be-against-the-law people, but then again, I run one of their 100w x 1 amps in the back of my car... yeah they're pretty good. 🙂

Awesome! I have a JL Audio 12W-0-8 running as a sub in my HT setup.

Rockford & JL are on the top of my list. As of now I have one Rockford12". It sounds pretty good concidering its powered by a Jensen 😱

Their premier line or whatever the hell it is called is great. The silver series amps and the upper level subs are great. It's not crap that a local BB or CC are going to sell.

i have an RF powered system in my car and its good. Suits all of my needs at least. i couldnt ask for anything more.

I heard Fosgate stuff sux now that they just recently moved their manufacturing from Japan to Korea. Is this true?

 

[teckmaster]

we just had Rockford Fosgate speakers installed all the way around in my wifes cavalier and they pound hard. I have 2 12" subs in my trunk and they also hit hard. Rockfords are one of the best manufacturers.

I think they are located in Tempe (sp?) Arizona. That's where my sub was shipped from anyway.

Yep after Sony bought into them..

My friend bought a new 200Watt RF 2 Channel amp.. now if this were one of the old series of amps it would have powered his 2 12"s no prob.. but being the newer model it could barely power only one of his 12's and even then the amp was hot to the touch in less than 5 mins.. the real irony is the fact that he's powering 2 12 inch RF Subs..

The best bang for the buck IMO is Power Acoustic.. bought a 2 Channel 420w Amp for $125 and it doesn't even get warm powering 2 12 inch JBLs.

Rockford PUNCH amps are great IMO. Very powerful..not the cleanest sound you'll get but good bang for the buck. The subs are a bit loose but hold up very well and also have good punch. Their speakers I'm not too impressed with.
