Rockford Fosgate Power T1000-1BDCP 1000 watt mono amplifier

Rockford Fosgate Power T1000-1BDCP 1000 watt mono amplifier Review



Rockford Fosgate Power T1000-1BDCP 1000 watt mono amplifier Feature

  • Mono amplifier delivers 700W x 1 @ 4-Ohms, 1000W x 1 @ 2-Ohms, 1000W x 1 @ 1-Ohm (RMS)
  • Class-bd amplifier with MOSFET output stage and power supply
  • Variable low-pass filter with range of 35-250 Hz (24 dB/octave slope)
  • Variable bass boost (0dB to +18dB @ 45Hz) and infrasonic filter (-3dB @ 28Hz 12dB/Octave)
  • Audiophile grade speaker connections and RCA pass-thru
The new Constant Power amplifiers are some of the most powerful amplifiers on the market. The T1000-1bdCP is based on the legendary T1000-1bd amplifier design with a proprietary "Constant Power" configuration delivering up to 25% more power (Watts) across all impedance loads. The listening experience is cleaner, louder and more impressive than ever before. The T1000-1bdCP, pumps out a heart-stopping Kilowatt, enough power for any reasonably sane subwoofer system.

Rockford Fosgate Power Series Amplifiers

Power > Size. These compact amps deliver the same gut wrenching power as its big brother, but their chassis designs are up to 40% smaller. DTM (Dynamic Thermal Management) allows efficient heat transfer that minimizes physical size and enables installs under seats and other compact areas when abundant power is required.

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.

Class bd
Rockford Fosgate bd topology is a revolutionary patented design, integrating a technology that is more efficient than typical class AB and has lower distortion than class D designs. POWER bd amplifiers are 75-80% efficient vs. 20-60% efficient class ab amplifiers. What does that mean? More power from your amplifier with less drain on your vehicles electrical and charging system.

Constant Power
Music and speakers have a dynamic relationship. As the frequency of music varies, so does the impedance of the speaker. This patent pending technology gives the amplifier the ability to instantaneously deliver its maximum output power to the speaker without regard to its varying impedance while still maintaining its high-efficiency and thermal performance.

Differential Inputs
Differential input circuitry measures the voltage of both the (+) and (-) input signal. The circuitry subtracts the voltage common to both conductors (noise) resulting in only the clean signal. This allows only clean signal to enter the amplifier.

DSM
DSM utilize 1% tight-tolerances improving efficiency of the circuit, decreases cross-talk from other discrete components and lowers operating temperature.

Dynamic Thermal Management
Heat is often inefficiently dissipated across a heatsink causing "hot spots". 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) reduces MOSFET temperatures, lowers distortion, increases durability and prolongs the output device life span.

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, and 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.

Rockford Fosgate Avatar
These Avatars are a personal signature from the Rockford Fosgate team member who designed and engineered this fanatic product. This statement illustrates Rockford's commitment to being Designed and Engineered in the U.S.A.

TO-247 MOSFETs
Rockford Fosgate amps use custom TO-247 MOSFETs. These have 60% more metal tab area for more power capacity, lower impedance and improved heat dissipation over traditional TO-220 MOSFETs found in competitor amps.

Rockford Fosgate P3D4-15 Punch P3 DVC 4 Ohm 15-Inch 600 Watts RMS 1200 Watts Peak Subwoofer Review



Rockford Fosgate P3D4-15 Punch P3 DVC 4 Ohm 15-Inch 600 Watts RMS 1200 Watts Peak Subwoofer Feature

  • 15-inch, dual 4-ohm subwoofer with 1200 watts maximum power handling (600 watts RMS)
  • Anodized aluminum cone and dustcap with Rockford "VAST" (Vertical Attach Surround Technique) surround
  • High-temp voice coils with spun-laced Nomex re-inforcement collar
  • Flex fit basket for slight adjustments when mounted
  • One-year limited manufacturer's warranty
  • Features 2.50 Inch Copper Clad Aluminum Voice Coil
  • VAST Vertical Attached Surround For Increased Cone Area
  • Features Flex Fit Basket Design
  • Thermal Anodized Aluminum Cone
  • 600 Watts RMS 1200 Watts Peak Power Rating

The P3D4-15 15-inch, dual 4-ohm subwoofer is part of Rockford Fosgate's best performing Punch P3 series, delivering a monster 1200 watts of peak power handling. The P3 subwoofers now feature anodized aluminum cones and dustcaps, along with unique spider venting to keep the motor cooler than previous versions. They also feature "VAST" technology to increase surface cone area up to 25% and a FlexFit basket for extreme installations. Best of all, a new hybrid stamp-cast basket offers the best of both worlds by providing super strength while minimizing weight and resonance.

Rockford Fosgate Punch Series Subs

Featuring innovative parabolic cone designs, oversized surrounds and large motor assemblies, Punch subwoofers deliver deep, loud, aggressive bass--not to mention stunning cosmetics that you'll want to show off. For over 20 years, Punch subwoofers have shown the world that big bass, extended power handling and awesome cosmetics need not cost a fortune. One listen and you'll know why it's called The PUNCH.

  • Anodized aluminum cone and dustcap
  • Custom 10-AWG nickel plated push terminals
  • Diamond cut cast aluminum trim ring with optional grille
  • Extended pole piece and bumped vented backplate
  • High-temp voice coil with spun-laced Nomex re-inforcement collar
  • Protective PVC textured magnet cover
  • Soft touch rubber over-mold for greater grip
  • StampCast basket with integrated spider venting
Anodized Aluminum Voice Coil Former

Rockford Fosgate subwoofers use anodized aluminum voice coil formers that provide superior heat dissipation (up to 100° at full power levels). Unlike traditional plastic substitutions, aluminum acts like a heat-sink to quickly dissipate thermal build-up on the voice coil. This keeps subwoofers cool during high SPL conditions.

CEA-2031

Power handling on Rockford Fosgate speakers conform to CEA-2031 industry standards. This means your speaker has the capacity to handle power under continuous damand, not instantaneous power handling, that over time, can damage voice coils.

Flex Fit Basket

The Flex Fit frame utilizes slots (where feasible) instead of single screw sized holes. This allows slight adjustment of the speaker when mounted.

Stitched Tinsel Leads

Multipoint "periodic" stitched lead wire technique reduces the mass of each tinsel lead and spreads stress and strain over a greater area, significantly improving the reliability and performance of the subwoofer.

These stitched tinsel leads withstand extreme duty cycles, fatigue and high current that is critical to robust design.

"VAST" Surround

The Vertical Attach Surround Technique significantly increases a speaker's effective radiating cone area without complicated installation issues. The result provides up to 25% more effective radiating cone area for the same model speaker.
