Old Rockford Fosgate amp better then new?

[Ej8civic]

okay im lookin at the rockford fosgate t10001bd for my 2 12" earthquake dbxi's and i was looking that the old one looks like it has better watts at 4 ohms, idk can someone clear me up on this?

Older rockford stuff is better than new rockford stuff. You gotta be careful with rockford amps since they only do rated power @ 14.4 volts.

damn well i just bought the new one, what do you mean rated @ 14.4 volts

 

[Hazy3gs]

He means when the rate the power output the watts are rated at 14.4 volts. Unless u have an upgraded battery u won't run 14.4 volts to get the watts it's capable of

You're gonna be dropping into the 11's with stock electrical.

do the big 3
throw a better batt upfront

anyway u can take it back?

what do you mean dropin into the 11's and no its on ebay and it was even cheaper then the older one. How much diffence do you think is between them.?

 

[eggyhustles]

your voltage is gonna be dropping low since that amp is very power hungry.

should've did your research

ohh, well i might get a capacitor and anyway, the newer the better in my mind but thnx for the input

 

[eggyhustles]

caps dont help

 

[Ej8civic]

what do they do then i thought they were ment to help..?

 

[eggyhustles]

nah caps are a waste

do the big 3 and upgrade your upfront batt.

 

[Ej8civic]
