Help: Soundqubed (Audioque) vs Rockford Fosgate

[sdalpine]

Hey, I'm pretty inexperienced when it comes to amplifiers. I'm upgrading to a new 1200w amp pretty soon and from researching, have narrowed it down to two options. I know a lot of people swear by rockford fosgate but I also know this is one of their lower priced products so I'm not sure how to take that. I'm hoping some of you who have experience with these amps can give me some advice. Here are the two

Thanks for any help

I recently bought the Rockford Fosgate R1200 and I love it. Runs very cool and its quite easy on the electrical system. The fact that it is $250 on Amazon is rare, they are trying to get them off of lots of online resellers. So in all reality its not really a cheaper amp. The biggest thing I lovea bout it is the form factor, its incredibly tiny for its power.

Prime is **** tier RF. Avoid.

It says the Soundqubed is rated 1200w at 5% THD. Is that still better than the RF even though the high THD?

You will never hear that. Run an AQ1200 in the wifey's set up, been going strong for 3+ years. Solid amp for the $$$...
