Rockford fosgate - how good are they!! - Team-BHP

kapilsharma80 · 21st September 2007, 13:59

I am planning to fit Rockford Fosgate in Palio 1,2 Nv.

Please suggest is it worth spending money on this brand or there are better options available?

I have shortlisted the following:

[SIZE=2]T1682S RF Component which is a 100 watt RMS Speaker.
P4004 (4channel Amplifier) to power component Spaker and built in enclosure with loaded subwoofer (Model No PL1 112) to get a better effect.

The MRP of the product are as follows -

P1682S Component Speaker Rs. 25550/-

P4004 4 Channel Amplifier Rs. 20700/-

PL1 112 Enclosure Subwoofer Rs. 12400/-

Plus Transportation charges

Following is the link

RF is a well respected brand, however you need to be careful as there are fakes thats all over the market (as blueraven told in someother thread).
dont go in for online shopping! listen and buy.

The Rockford Fosgate systems are pretty good. The 2008 Mitsubishi Lancers (here in the US) come with RF ICE systems. They sound really good.
Of course,getting a genuine system is important. I'd recommend RF systems,for sure.

Kapil - I am not sure about RF speakers because I have never personally heard them. But I am extremely impressed with RF amps and Subwoofers. They are just awesome. I have installed two RF P450.2 (one powering my comps and the other powering my rear coax). I have one RF P300.1 powering RF P212D2 (12" sub). All these products are 2006 models. I coulnd't source 2007 models in bangalore. Whoever has heard the set-up, had a jaw dropping experience. I may be wrong or may be awestruck because I have spent so much money but then I love the set up anyways. The models you have listed are very old models. If you are looking for RF 4 channel amp, you should go for P450.4 (60wX4). It is pretty much in stock and I have seen many installations in Bangalore.

Please PM me if you would like me to check prices for you. AFAIK Digimax is the official distributor of RF products in India.

I don't know if Mitsubishi has a tie up with RF. The Montero in India (because AFAIK it is imported as CBU here) also comes with an awesome RF set-up. Check this link out - Mitsubishi Montero India

RF amps are good souding amps, (though not as good as they used to be) the speaker line does sound good, no irritating highs, decent mids, butttttt............. you canget better prices, what you qouted are MRP rates and always buy from a reputed dealer.
