Rockford Fosgate Prime R1000-1D 1,000-Watt Mono Amplifier Review
Rockford Fosgate Prime R1000-1D 1,000-Watt Mono Amplifier Feature
- Class D mono amplifier delivers 1000 watts at 2 ohms, 500 watts at 4 ohms
- Variable low pass crossover with 12dB/octave slope and 40Hz to 130Hz crossover point
- Punch Bass adjustable bass level control of 0 to +12 dB centered at 45Hz
- RCA inputs for signal level input and pass-through jacks for system building

The PRIME R1000-1D is a Class-D amplifier producing unreal power with unmatched efficiency. You simply cannot get a Kilowatt of power from a chassis this small using traditional Class-A/B amplifier designs. The Class-D topology inside the R1000-1D allows the amplifier to produce that much power with an amazing 90% efficiency! The 2-Ohm load mono stability is perfect for four 4-Ohm DVC subwoofers, or you can create your own car-shaking eight woofer system with 2-Ohm DVC subwoofers.

R1000-1D Features
Class-D Topology
High efficiency amplifier design that reduces current consumption from the charging system.
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.
Phase Switch
Allows you to select the output phase of the amplifier between 0 degrees and 180 degrees.
Variable Low Pass Crossover
Determine which frequencies you feed your subs with the built-in 12dB/octave Butterworth filter, with a crossover point variable from 40Hz to 130Hz.
Punch Bass
This is an adjustable Bass level control centered at 45Hz @ 12dB/octave.
Remote Punch Level Control
When connected, the "Gain Control" is linked and allows you to remotely control the output level of the amplifier from the dash or center console.
