This may or may not have any relevance at all.... but the stereo shop I patronize is more professional in knowledge and installation technique than most, and has been instrumental in preparation of many cars that have participated successfully in IASCA competitions. The shop owner is admittedly an opinionated man with definite biases for and against certain equipment, but has no particular axes to grind, as he is perfectly happy to sell you any particular brand you might want.

The reason for this lengthy preamble is this... he has an *extremely* low opinion of Rockford Fosgate, both in terms of quality of sound output, and frequency of failure. This last is relevant, because he offers his own lifetime guarantee, parts and labor, on anything he installs.

I have no first-hand knowledge, one way or another, about Rockford Fosgate equipment.
