Fosgate

Old Fosgate kicks ass. I would love to have some mint condition early punch amps. 45,75,150....all killer units. I remember people beating old school crunch 12's with a single punch 45hd. Killer stuff. Crunch was good stuff back then also, big around Alabama anyway....think they were based in Dothan.

I would love to find a brand new pair of Savard HiQ 10's, and push whem with an old Punch 45 or 75. If not a Punch, an older Rodek from when Zed audio designed the amps.


damn I am old.

we've got a display at work with 12 p2 12's in the rockford prefab boxes running off of 1 punch 45 amp.. we got it at a 2 ohm load.. but it's a pretty kickass display...

i like fosgate but i now swear by audiobahn!!

Audiobahn is going bankrupt. They are not even showing at SEMA or CES this year if that tells you anything.

my buddy has some OLDDDDDDDDDD ass RFs i think one is the 45. Also the big change wasnt best buy. the change was a MTX engineer was hired in place of the old engineer back around 4 years ago. look at the product change and you can really tell.

fosgate is decent stuff there punch series 2 me isent all tha great but the power series is sik.i like some of there stuff my boss swears up an down tha its junk but to me there power series is better then the punch but im lovin the re audio stuff

yea the re audio is junk,my cousin's truck just burnt 2 the ground cause his re audio speaker caught on fire,now he is fixing 2 take legal action.this is our conversation


Yea the dude I bought it from Tuan http://advancedcarcreations.com/ is a coo dude...he said i'll atleast get my money back for my sub because it was warranted..but I posted on carudio.com/forum..and there all talking about taking legal action which im really thinking about doing..because if it was anything to do with wiring the coil would have burn and not the spider...so idk I wanna talk to someone and see if it would be worth pursuing you know.

well the Re audo authorized shop (innovative rides) reccommended me to vinceaudios for them to do the box and install...because innovative rides was swamped with work...the guy I bought the sub from, Tuan from Advanced Car Creations said i'll atleast get my money back for my sub if anything..but just where the fire started you can tell it wasnt due to me or wiring...something shorted out in the sub...and that spider is flammable im going to look into a lawsuit but I dont expect anything.

So I just typed a huge buletin but went to post it and it didnt go through so im having to write another and I dont feel like retyping it all but ill make it short.

I was heading to work, noticed my sub was smoking, found out my spider landing of my sub was burning(contained no flames) pulled off called the guy I bought the sub from and reported it and he told me to take it out of my truck and to let it burn out or put it out..So I called my mom told her what had happened and to get a screwdriver ready because I was coming back home, so I turned around and as I was going back the fire was getting worse and started to build flames so I decided to pull off of 770 and to disconnect the wires from the sub and poured water on it and nothing happened the water just sizzled and it was still burning so I called my mom and told her to come where I was with the screwdriver because it was getting worse. But after waiting a couple minutes the flames were getting bigger and caught the carpet of my sub box on fire and then caught the seats on fire and from there I knew there wasnt no saving it...and from there this is what ended up happening:




I dont know what to do from here I had liabilty insurance on it so that pretty much means im screwed out of any money from the insurance company. But Im wanting to talk to the company who makes the sub(Re audio) because it was definately the sub that caught fire and im looking to take legal action against the company...if anything im getting my money back from my sub because it was warranted but im not going to settle just for that..so if anyone knows anyone who can help with telling me what I should/could do let me know! I'll have more pics and videos up later so check back. Later

I dont like the new fosgate subs at all. When I got my first car I bought a couple oldschool 12" Punch's off my brother, ran an older orion amp. Then this kid I hung out with paid close to a 1000 for his JL 10"s and amp and my shit put his car to shame.

Most def old fosgate stuff kicks ass!! I loved the power amps nothing could touch those bitches. U could abuse the living shit out of them and those things wouldnt even get hot. Remember when they where Power bd500 for $500 and Power bd1000 for like $999. lol I tried looking for some on ebay but people are bidding on those like crazy last time i checked if you wanted to sell your amp you can get some money back out of them.

OH NO YOU DIDNT!! haha man I think I still have my Savard HiQ t-shirt from 1992... The one with the guy getting his ears blasted orrfff...

I just traded off 4 Lanzar (Zed) amps. I still have two Hoffmann series Earthquakes too.

when i was in high skool i had the punch 360 on 2 12" and it beat the shit out of them,in the white fullsize i had a new 300 punch on 2 10" and it was ok but i burned up one of the channels while it was bridged so i just ran it off one side,the new shit deff dosent have shit on the old!!!!!!!!!!!
