Why is it worth so much for a 2x175wrms amp?

and it only bridges to 2ohms

I dont know how much they are "worth" but paying that much seems a little silly to start with for those power figures?

Just wondering cause im looking for something around 2x 200 rms but im not payin over $500 for it, I accept the fact that rockford are rockford

its a two channel, realistically expect it to run at around 230x2@4OHMS, its a rockford and they always underrate their amplifiers by minimum 15-20%...

comparison to $350 jaycar amplifier:

2x150@4OHMS

1x484@2OHMS

this is a rockford, the potential is there as stated by the birth sheet, nearly 900RMS@4ohms! thats 4ohms! and its not a dedicated monoblock sub amplifier. its rockford, its a quality amplifier. check out the RRP of the amp then draw your own conclusions.

IMO the price reflects the quality, so deal with it.

Im really sorry XSKAPE for wrecking thread but just had to say to ultim8DTM5...

say your 2x175 amp is 2x230rms then @4ohms $1300

thats 460wrms x1 @ 4ohms not 900

If the amp was 100% efficient 920w rms @2ohms x1

good distortion not sure on damping factor..

Jaycar 0435 4x100rms into 4 ohms $499 new

thats 2x200wrms @4ohms

thats 1x400wrms @4ohms

say 75% efficiency 1x400wrms @2ohms 600wrms x1

good distortion good damping factor

U could buy 2 jaycar 600w amps for a $1000 1200w

or RF realistically 800w or less for $1300

Hey im only going by electronics calc view what im trying to find out is whether that RF is worth $1300 new or not,

cheers mac

Notta Problem Mac.

But I just want to add one thing . "You can't compare gold with bronze; They're simply not in the same class."

Motor Magazine did it once comparing a 208KW R34 GTR with a 300KW Dunnydore. Which one preformed better and handeled better and had better times and most of all sheer POWER. A classic example of comparing Gold With Bronze.

BTW: Just for the record: I read the birth sheet again and its 887w RMS bridge @ 2ohms not 4ohms (Sorry for any inconveinience)

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
