Rockford Fosgate PBR300X4 4 Channel Amplifier
this amp was reccommended to me for an add on amp to a gl8000 motorcycle.
It is a small amp and fits nicely into the trunk well of the 1800. where the cd player goes)
However this animal gets HOT... I mean REALLY hot, I mean like too hot to pick up with bare hands. I'll assume that this is baause of the way it handles it power. Putting it in the typical area for an 1800 will cause problems for it down the line. The solution I found was to add auxillary heat sinks to the unit via the mounting holes on the side and some well placed heat sink compound. Furthermore I added aux fans to the area where the amp was installed. this seemed to make all of the difference (heat wise) in the world.
The sound is outstanding however the STOCK 1800 speakers will NOT be able to handle it, you MUST upgrade your speakers (I used Polk db501's) and sealed the mounting chambers. after you do this, then its no problem.
Fosgate says you must 10 guage wire ofr the power and ground, and I hartilly agree, however the usage of a 30 amp fuse was a bit large and I lowered it to 15 whit no apparent issues.
Good product

BalasHapusI already have an 1800watt kenwood amp hooked up with two 10'' sony (i know, only temporary) subs to my 07 Jetta's factory speakers and stereo radio. How do I make the sound (not the bass) louder? I can already make the subs 10x louder than the speakers. Do I need new door speakers? A higher powered amp? Or a new head unit?
BalasHapusLooking to spend between $150-$300. My front speakers are 70 rms and the rears are 100 rms
