R150-2 Features

Power and Protect LEDs
The Protect LED illuminates if a short circuit or to low of an impedance is detected at the speaker connections. The amplifier will automatically shut down if this occurs.

RCA Input Jacks
The industry standard RCA jacks provide an easy connection for signal level input. They are nickel-plated to resist the signal degradation caused by corrosion.

RCA Pass-Thru Jacks
This Pass-Thru provides a convenient source for daisy-chaining an additional amplifier without running an extra set of RCA cables from the front of the vehicle to the rear amplifier location.

Gain Control
The input gain control is preset to match the output of most source units.

Crossover Switch
Selectable switch for 80Hz High-Pass (HP), All Pass (AP), or Low-Pass (LP) operation.

Variable Crossover (Low Pass Only)
A built-in 12dB/octave Butterworth filter with a crossover point variable from 50Hz to 250Hz.

Punch Bass
The Punch Bass control provides a bass boost up to 12dB @ 45Hz.

5 out of 5 stars Extremely good value   August 10, 2010
A. Bush (Newberg, OR USA)
I bought this amplifier to power a JL Audio 10" W1V2 subwoofer (with an RMS rating of approximately 150 watts).

The amplifier arrived in high-quality packaging and included a certificate of testing, indicating that prior to leaving the factory it had functioned properly and produced an RMS wattage higher than its rated value. The set included the necessary fuse and some mounting hardware.

The amplifier is a typical Rockford Fosgate high-quality product. Fit and finish are excellent and the product has a clean, simple design. The terminals and adjustment controls are rugged and well-labeled.

Using a Rockford Fosgate installation kit, which I would recommend due to its similar good value and inclusion of all necessary cables, I was able to install this amplifier in my 1998 Kia Sephia in about an hour, including routing the power cable through the engine bay firewall (the most difficult aspect for me). I connected the signal and switch-on leads to an Alpine iDA-X200 receiver.

Note: After installing and connecting all cables, be sure to turn the gain on the amplifier from "1" (which amplifies by a factor of 1...in other words, not at all) to a higher value, such as "10" for maximum power output. Otherwise, you will not be able to hear any output from the subwoofer or speakers. Also, if connecting to a subwoofer, be sure that the subwoofer is turned on and up to an appropriate level via the stereo receiver.

Once I got everything set up correctly, I tested out the amplifier and was extremely happy with its performance. The bass from my subwoofer is clean, tight, and very loud, and by turning the "bass boost" feature on this amplifier to about halfway, I have more than adequate output with my subwoofer set to 5 of 15 on my receiver.

The best part of this amplifier is its price. With a name like Rockford Fosgate and more than adequate performance for any reasonable music enthusiast (as long as your goal is not simply to be heard from blocks away), you would expect a higher price, but the R150-2 is one of the best value amplifiers that I was able to find, and I am absolutely satisfied with my choice.

I have had this amplifier for a few weeks now and its performance continues to be flawless. It does get very warm, like any amplifier will, but keep enough airspace around it and there should be no problems.



5 out of 5 stars punchy and clear sound   February 10, 2010

Ive bridged it to run a 12 inch infinity subwoofer.
I'm very happy with the performance.Good clean tight bass.
