Rockford FosgateP300X2 Punch 300 Watt 2-Channel Amplifier

I am using it to power 2 Rockford component sets custom in my 2014 Silverado front doors ( Fiberglass bottom pocket). Tweets are 1 pair flush in door panels and 1 pair in factory dash location. This puts the load at 2 ohms and the birth sheet says 210 watts rms per channel. It screams loud and clear and has had no issues. I have pushed it hard in 85 to 90 degree temps and it never gets scary hot. Just gets warm which is expected for non class D. In a pick up truck equipment real estate is scarce. This amp packs good clean power in a small foot print. The C.L.E.A.N. technology makes it really easy setting the gain properly. The only complaint I do have is the LED in the bass knob is too bright and is distracting at night. I mounted it in my ashtray and can easily find by feel and can close the door and light is no longer an issue. I suppose it could be painted or covered in another fashion as well. You will wanna do something cause it's too bright. The last generation of knobs were better shape wise and LED glow. Still too good of an amp to let that deter from buying.***EDIT***I decided to upgrade from this amp and another 2 channel amp to a single 4 channel amp. I decided upon the Rockville RXA-F2 2400W Peak/1200W RMS 4 Channel Car Stereo AmplifierI was somewhat skeptical due to the price, but the CEA certification and specs said it was a decent amp. Upon first sight, the build is of decent quality and finish. It is a great sounding amp and is louder and cleaner than the Rockford before it distorts when only using the front channels of the Rockville and using the same setup otherwise to compare the 2 amps. The Rockville is fuller sounding too. The Rockford is hollow and the mids aren't as pronounced. The self gain option is nice for novice installers on the Rockford, but your not getting as good of an amp as you may expect with the Rockford name. This cheap amp has got me disappointed in Rockford. On the other hand, I found a decent brand for less money. I am waiting on a set of Rockville components for my doors presently. I have a feeling they are gonna make me disappointed in my higher priced Infinity components.

This is a decent sounding amp, still chugging along after 4 years. Sensitive to hot signal input, it will put it in safe mode after a hot signal for a while.

Coming from a department store amplifier, one week with this amp has introduced quality sound and confidence in my audio system. It delivers reliable power, and you know this because Rockford Fosgate is kind enough to include an amp dyno sheet in a box - a pleasant surprise. I believe this is a solid choice for a Mid-level amplifier.The adjustment controls are standard, with HP/LP filters for different applications and Bass Boost. Overall, the amplifier has performed well. Its one pitfall is how hot it gets from fan-less, convection cooling. Ensuring a good mounting location is a must for any amplifier. RF suggests a 1 inch space around the heat sinks.

Small and packs a punch. Relatively easy to install and set up, experience with audio equipment helps. Now I've got it set up, it's living up to it's name and, I can't believe I'm saying this, but, I think I need to turn it down!

Here's my opinion on the p300x2. I'm an old school stereo/alarm installer and this amp lasted about 4 hours before the speaker connecters broke in half. I bought two of these amps and both failed at the speaker connectors within 6hrs of the install test fittings. This amp uses square clamp screw connectors with a press fit top made from pot metal. The screws are cheap too, not hardened or stainless, along with being to short. Bad news if you ever have to connect and disconnect wires(which Rockford makes you do to use there test CD. Hmmm, design to fail?) I've installed Rockford amps back in the day and noticed these are not the old school well designed amps I'm use to. I decided to keep mine (with a little modification i did to the connectors) to see how long the amps will last. The p300x2s are wired 100w@4ohms=2 so I'm not pushing them hard. I'd advise people to stay away from these amps with these type of connections unless your willing to take the amps apart and do a little soldering.
