Rockville is really taking over the budget amp world. People can say what they want but these amps are impressive to say the least. I took a chance on Rockville 2 years ago by buying one of their amps for my Harley and was impressed. Then got another one for my truck. I have been impressed since. Then I saw dyno's on Rockville amps and thats when I knew I had made the right choice. I have no doubt these amps will last. I had my reservations at first but I could not be happier. Best bang for buck amps ever made. I'm 63 years old and have been a car audio fan since I was 15.That's 48 years. Damn that is a long ass time. Now I'm getting depressed. I gotta go ride my Harley and listen to some rock n roll. One thing I have learned over my years of car audio interest. No matter what I always install small cheap fans to keep ANY amp I install as cool as possible before ever turning them on for the first time. Heat is a killer to ANYTHING and I live by that idea. I have not had an issue with heat in many many years. Better safe than sorry. Damn my Harley is getting hot. lol I'm outta here. Keep cool

[@nathanmyles3785]

I'm assuming you run your sub channel at 1 ohm, is it still going strong? That's the only drawback of this amp is that the sub channel is only rated down to 2 ohms, if it works at 1 that's a huge plus.

Well done, nice amp and their equipment isn't too bad, they just need to get rid of those three different ratings and keep it simple..

Im sure the main issue people have with Rockville is that they don't keep it simple and they tend to over belish rating and lied live to people..

[@damemoe29]

Thank You for being unbiased about the product line unlike some of these “I paid for every amp or sub over a $1000 you get what you pay for” type of guys. I’ve been on both sides of tree in spending a lot on systems to experimenting with low budget systems and I’ve sold and installed a lot of Rockville products over the years and I get next to no complaints about it. Only complaint I ever had was one guy who was a idiot and would’ve destroyed anything that I put in his car because he thinks he can turn up radios and amps to the max volume and gain when he has a system in his vehicles

[@thatdude8247]

I'm with you on being on both sides but we're all here for getting the most for the best price....sometimes the not expensive amps are just as good....I had a used jensen amp in the late 90s and couldn't kill that amp even thou I didn't know how to tune an amp back then, that amp even went swimming with the power supply still hooked up....made me think differently when I was exchanging a jl audio in on a warranty.

[@damemoe29]

Justin Hayes exactly Bro, I also bought and sold different stuff from the late 90’s that was cheap and preformed well and I was limited in knowledge back then being only in my late teens and now that grown more knowledge in car audio Ive seen even the big name brands sell more cheap amps than their top of the line stuff because most people just simply can’t afford or just not gonna pay for expensive car audio, they’re gonna make that dollar stretch as far as they can. People just need to get a better understanding of the product they buy and it’s limitations so they won’t waste money and time by destroying their equipment because of greedy brands lying on specs but that doesn’t mean the product is trash it means brands are liars, that’s why I love dyno videos because it doesn’t just expose gems or bust it helps you choose the right subs or speakers for a amps true power so you won’t have a horrible audio experience

[@johannjohann6523]

2 things to upgrade your car stereo over "the other guys and gals". 1) Use Marine quality components. They are built much better, and have to pass certification to get the marine rating. Think of how a boat must handle the chop of the water without a suspension. So Marine Eqpt. is definitely much better put together of all of the brands that make Marine stereo eqpt. It's just about every brands best offerings. 2) Always use a Line Output Converter. Specifically, a Recoil or Kicker LOC. Those are the only 2 I know and seen tested that work as they should, and do not distort your signal, but actually filter and boost your signal. By boosting your signal to your amplifiers they will run cooler/sound better. Best $25 you can spend on your stereo!

I have been using one of these for 2.5 years and have had really no issues with it. It did have some issues going into protection mode due to low voltage. There was a 2.5v voltage drop at the battery terminals. Voltage at amp would get down to 10v at amp with volume cranked up and really pushing the sub channel. I have upgraded to a bigger subwoofer amp now, but still use this one for full range. My only complaint would be that it runs hot.

I'm new to using one amp for my entire system would I be able to run my components at 4ohm on the mids and highs channels and utilize the 500 rms @2ohm on my subwoofers?

[@johannjohann6523]

I can say with confidence the Rockville Phenom Marine Amps are very good. They are set up as SQ Class A/B amps with decent power and sound great (especially combined with a Polk DB+ Coaxial Speaker. This combo will exceed your expectations.). No problems so far with the amps running fine after a couple of years either. The only thing, this Marine class A/B amp does not support a subwoofer very well. So get the 4 or 6 channel, run ya 4 speakers, and 2 tweeters, and each have their dedicated channel. Then run your subwoofer with like a Stinger Class D monoblock and you be rockin' and sounding great. (On paper, nothing touches the Polk DB+ Marine speakers at any price).

Hello.. when you tested the Rockville. Does it get really hot so much untouchable.. I got the Rockville krypton f5… it get really hot.. I notice you mentioned all the numbers.. please include the durability when operating for a long period of time if it get really hot… thanks

[@sa22see]

Im glad i got mine when they first came out. I only payed $159

[@SteveP116]

What after you using for speakers on the first 4 channels? I have a JBL gto 609c rated at 90 watts RMS. Is this about right for the RMS on each channel @4ohm. I'm not looking for the best

Thanks, I'm getting this for a reg cab ford ranger and should be more than enuff for 4 Rockford 6x8 and a 10in sub with deh7700 pioneer super tuner 2 din and 1/2 din clarion EQ sure as hell going to beat the stock ford radio and paper speakers or should I say 💩

I have the f5 (the older 5 channel) and an m4 . Never had an issues and I beat on the f5 pretty hard.

[@kirktotallyrocks]

I’m thinking of getting the F5 because of the smaller footprint (would fit under my seat, db55 is a little too big). Do you feel it also puts out rated power?

[@gilbertos1984]

Damn. And I just bought a Cerwin Vega 5 channel amp. But these seems nice too.

[@Pittsburgh-412]

Don't feel bad man you bought the superior amp for sure

[@Choralone422]

That amp does look like a gem for a cheap system. Hopefully it holds up over time. I'm still not a fan of Rockville. I have 2 Rockville RW10CA's that have been collecting dust for a while as they easily overheat and go into protect after running for 15-20 minutes at a moderate volume. The only way to prevent that is to place fans directly at the sides as they designed that product with insufficient heatsinking which causes the amp to overheat and go into protect. Even tried them out (individually & together) in 2 different vehicles and on a high amperage 12 volt power supply I have in my workshop. Plus they sound pretty weak even when they do work...

Have had my db55 for 3 years and I live in Northern WI (its gets cold) and not one issue.

[@justinmurphy2227]

When you had these issues, did you contact them and see about having them warrantied? They are man made electronics and come with a warranty. If you did warranty them and still had the issues I'd understand the dislike then. If you didn't contact Rockville, well, why not?

[@justinmurphy2227]

Also, isn't the RW10CA subs? How could they overheat and go in to protect? Are you saying these subs caused the above tested amp to go in to protects sir?

[@mrcheezle6]

Yeah, how do subs go into protect? A amp goes into protect mode
