300 Watts in an Ultra-Compact Amplifier
CEA-2006
Power ratings on Rockford Fosgate amplifiers conform to CEA-2006 industry standards. These guidelines mean your amplifier's output power ratings are REAL POWER numbers, not inflated marketing ratings.
Discrete Surface Mount
DSM--An industry-leading manufacturing process, DSM utilizes high-speed robotics, high-quality 1% tight-tolerance parts and large board traces. The discrete components are laser etched to meet a particular value and a very low tolerance. This lower tolerance improves the efficiency of the circuit, decreases cross-talk from other discrete components and lowers operating temperature. These superior components are used by aerospace, automotive, and cellular manufacturers.
Dynamic Thermal Management
Heat is often inefficiently dissipated across a heatsink causing "hot spots". This impacts important design goals, which are:
- Keeping internal components cool.
- Maximizing potential of all components.
- Reducing distortion for better sound quality.
- Increasing efficiency to produce more power.
Rockford Fosgate engineers have developed an award winning cooling design called DTM. This patent pending design seamlessly manages the output of power supply temperatures, while evenly distributing the excess heat across the entire amplifier.
MEHSA3
MEHSA3 (Maximum Efficiency Heat Sink Application--gen. 3) is a proprietary process that yields up to five times better heat transfer than traditional FET mounting techniques, using the exact same components. A multi-layer insulated metal substrate operating with minimal thermal resistance spreads heat both downward & outward to quickly dissipate heat from each device across the heatsink. This process combined with our optimized heatsink designs, DSM (Discrete Surface Mount) technology and MOSFET devices, allows Rockford Fosgate to squeeze more watts per cubic inch from every output device as well as provide consistent thermal stability. The 3rd generation creates a dielectric layer between the ceramic topside and the aluminum base that retains all of the electrical isolation and capacitive coupling of the original MEHSA material increasing it's thermal conductivity. The higher power handling results in a 20% reduction in thermal impedance.
NOMAD
NOMAD is a "real time" analog computer that protects your amplifier from shorting speaker wires and dangerously low speaker impedances.
Punch EQ2
In the early 70's, Jim Fosgate studied the acoustical properties of automobiles. Utilizing a real-time analyzer and pink noise, he would graph out the acoustical characteristics of each car he tested. Jim discovered three problems that were common to all cars:
- A midbass hump between 100-275Hz
- A steep roll-off of high frequencies from 2kHz up to 20kHz
- Reduced bass response below 50Hz
The Punch EQ on-board equalization circuit helps correct for these acoustical deficiencies in the listening environment. When set to Low-Pass(LP) operation, it becomes a variable Bass Boost. When set to High-Pass (HP) operation, it acts as a variable Mid-Bass and Treble Boost. When set to All Pass (AP) operation, both Bass and Treble frequencies are boosted.

Just installed this amp a few days ago. I also got the PEQ Equalization remote. I listen to a wide variety of music from classical, to jazz, to rock, covering several decades of changes in recording technology and engineering. The PEQ remote is essential in allowing finger tip adjustments to compensate for decades of differing recording technologies and EQ mixes. This amp does all it claims and does so flawlessly. The boosted rail technology is a very clever engineering feat and gives this amp, which is no larger than a paperback novel, power you would expect from a much larger unit. It can handle both high level and RCA level inputs and it features all of the adjustments you would typically want (gain, band pass) to optimize the bass portion of your audio. I highly highly recommend it! BTW... I have it paired with a single 8" Polk db840 dual voice coil sub. It totally kicks butt!

I purchased this amp along with a Rockford Fosgate 10" sub to add some much-needed low end to the factory sound system in my 2012 Volkswagen GTI. For the price, it was the only amp I could find that was small enough to fit under the driver's seat but still have adequate power.
Installation was very easy, and the amp gets along great with the speaker-level inputs. I have the input sensitivity knob set to the lowest point (highest sensitivity) and it wasn't necessary to use a remote turn-on lead because the amp instantly switches on and off with the factory headunit, even when the headunit volume is turned all the way down.
Initially, I was disappointed with the amp's performance. I tried dozens of combinations of settings (gain and crossover on the amp, and the bass control on the factory headunit), but I couldn't find a sweet spot -- the bass was either way too weak or totally overpowering. I decided to spend another $30 to purchase the optional Punch EQ knob, and the difference it makes is unbelievable. It's like the amp was missing something it should have had all along, as though the knob unlocks additional functionality in the amp circuitry. The bass is MUCH fuller and more consistent, even at low volume levels. What I find kind of odd is that the Punch EQ makes a noticeable difference even when it's set to 0db boost -- like I said, it's like the amp isn't fully functional without it. I really like being able to use the knob to quickly tweak the bass level as needed; it's way easier than going through the touchscreen menus on the headunit to access the bass setting. FYI, the Punch EQ doesn't duplicate the function of any of the controls on the amp itself -- it performs a totally unique function.
So, in short, I highly recommend this amp, but ONLY in combination with the optional Punch EQ add-on.

I had bought this amp with high hopes - however something went wrong with it and it did not appear Amazon was an authorized dealer for Rockford Fosgate so i figured i was doomed on any warranty. Much to my surprise - i contacted Rockford Fosgate and they told me no problem Amazon is an authorized dealer - box it up and mail it back in and they will send me a replacement amp - at this point i am very satisfied with the results i will complete this review once i receive the new replacement amp .
