Hi Guys,

Selling my precious amp to fund my S15 build. :D

The amp is a Rockford Fosgate 1501BD competition amp.

The amp was used for about 12-13 months, then I took it out and sold the car.. Since then it has sat in the cupboard, and because it was such a good amp, I never wanted to sell it..

Now I'm older, and prefer KW instead of DB, I have decided to part with it so I can spend the money on the S15.

If you know your amps, you would know what a monster this thing is.. I used to run 2 x RF subs, and the gain was never adjusted from the minimum amount as I didnt want to blow the subs!

These amps are used in DB competitions for some serious bass. :D

If you are looking for bass and have a sub that can stand the punishment from this amp, then I suggest you pick this up before its gone!

Specs from RF website:

# 750 watts RMS x 1 at 4 ohms

# 1500 watts RMS x 1 at 2 ohms

# Class bd technology

# requires 4-gauge power and ground leads and a 150-amp fuse and fuse holder

# selectable 50-250 Hz variable low-pass crossover, 24 dB/octave

# MEHSA mounting technology increases the heat transfer from the MOSFET output devices to the heat sink, for higher power output, lower operating temperatures, and greater reliability

# TOPAZ noise-killing differential inputs eliminate 80% of ground loop noise

# preamp outputs for easy connection to a second amplifier

# wired remote control of Punch Bass (0-18 dB centered at 45 Hz) — gives you fingertip control of your bass impact

# subsonic filter removes frequencies below the range of human hearing for increased efficiency

# bd Sync — allows two identical Class bd amps to be tied together to power one woofer

The amp is available for pickup from Mill Park, Victoria on weekends & after hours. Or in Laverton North during the weekdays and business hours..

I can post, but the amp is very heavy and I think you would pay a fair bit in freight!

Guys, you must use a minimum of 4 gauge cable to run this amp, it is very powerful, so if you are running 8 gauge, you will need to buy new power cables. I recommend 0 gauge, then splitting it to 4 gauge directly into the amp. A capacitor would be great. Specs suggest 4 farad..

The manual/specs are available from this link:

Have a read before buying! You wont be dissapointed!!

Quick sale!

$350 pick-up Mill Park.

      R32 gtst speedo out by 10kph

      Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.

      My R32 Money Pit & The Headaches That Come With It

      Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.

      This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.

      Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .
