Product Description

R2-500X1

The Prime R2-500X1 is a full-range class-D mono amplifier, capable of operating at 4Ω or 2Ω mono and rocking 500 Watts of RMS power. This amplifier is extremely efficient because of its class D technology, which reduces demand on the vehicles electrical system. The amp also features C.L.E.A.N. circuitry to help you adjust your gain settings and the unique P.O.W.E.R. supply continues to generate more than the rated power as the voltage increases. Designed for subwoofers, a variable infrasonic filter and remote level control allows you to tune the bass to the desired level for your music.

The Prime Series was developed for car audio fanatics that want a reliable amplifier that won’t break the bank – with all the power and performance you’ve come to expect from Rockford Fosgate.

Solid, quality build. Rockford always underrates their amps. Advertised as 500 but comes with “birth” certificate that has all the actual output numbers. Mine comes in at 663. Which I expected, which is why I had ordered the 600 RMS sub to pair it with. As far as I’m concerned it was the perfect choice for me. It doesn’t disappoint in the least.

My old RF Punch 500a2 died and I was unable to repair it. I was nervous about going with their Prime line as opposed to Punch but I had nothing to worry about!! This thing overdelivered!!! I drive an F150 SuperCrew with 2 10” subs under my back seat. It’s louder than my old amp and that’s only with the Punch Bass and again halfway up. You will not regret purchasing this amp. RF is #1

Just wanted to chime in and confirm what others have already mentioned. I bought this little amplifier back in August and it is absolutely phenomenal. I have mine pushing one dual voice coil 10" shallow mount P3 Rockford Fosgate subwoofer in a vented enclosure inside my 2021 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2. The amp is not even breaking a sweat. In fact, the amp had to be turn way down because it was over powering the factory Bose system. It's THAT loud! I've impressed my family and friends alike with the power that this thing makes. For a minimal investment, it REALLY has woke up the rest of my factory stereo system. I highly recommend this amp to anyone who wants a reliable and powerful amplifier that won't break the budget.

Powering a Rockford Fosgate P3D4-12. Paired with a single farad capacitor & a Q Bomb enclosure.Perfect amp for pushing my new set up. The angled connections were a bit of a pain but provided a clean look when complete.Good instructions, great quality, & booming sound. Can’t go wrong with Rockford Fosgate!!!

I just replace the old version R500X1D but never had a RLC….To Prime R2 500X1 but this one has apparently whenever I plug the RLC amp stays on with no problem but when I turn up the gain or punch eq or bass knob no bass and no sound…if unplug the RJ12 with RLC TURN OFF THE TRUCK set the gai up to test everything works….that’s the only issue…

I took about a year to write this review because I really wanted to get a feel for the product before I said anything about it.I don't have anything negative to say about this amp. I'm not running a competition system by any means but it power my JL 12" sub very very well. With all the adjustment options that it has. The signal sent to the sub is very very clean.The sound itself is very crisp and precise. Theres no distortion whatsoever. The sub that I'm running has an optimal rms of 300 watts, which is right on the sweet spot for this amplifier.As long as it's tuned properly and with a sub that's within it's optimal range, this amplifier is absolutely fantastic.

Excelente producto! Calidad garantizada. Obtienes lo que pagas. Primer proyecto DIY. En uso por tres semanas con un subwoofer P3-D410 500WRMS en caja sellada. High signal con auto remote on. Los ajustes de ganancia con CLEAN IN/OUT muy sencillo ademas de sus debidos ajustes de Punch EQ y filtros otorgan muchas capacidades. Quiza debi ir con un woofer mas grande...
