Rockfordfosgate bd 2500 questions

[big dee]

Hey guys I have a chance to get the bd 2500 and am wondering what the real rms is on these amps . I know the birth sheets says it puts out more than 2500. My issue is this guy didn't get a birth sheet on it cause it was bought and installed at a local shop an they thru the box away along with birth sheet . Can anyone who's has had one tell me what there sheet says on total rms power? Thanks guys o and this amp was bought last July if that helps

My total RMS power is 3532 watts.it's a bdcp though. The audio shop threw his boxes away?? WTF.. he paid for them as well..The stories of the stuff some of these audio shops are doing is a shame and they wonder why the market is down for them.. I only deal with one local shop here that did my original install about 6 years ago or more and they put every box for everything I purchased in the bed of my truck when I picked it up,even the Dynamat boxes were in there. I'd say buy it if you're getting a good price on it,they definitely put out their power ratings but make sure you have the electrical for it. Get a HO alt if you don't already have one and some AGM batteries

I agree with Xtreme on your electrical and stuff. I am still improving my electrical because those amps are very power hungry.. I am running 2 of them and one is 3498 and the other is 3509.

anywhere from 3300-3600.

amp dyno can tell for sure

The one I'm looking at is not the constant power . It's just bd 2500. Anyone has numbers on these? I know it's probly close to 3k? Or in that ball park maybe ? Lol I've never ran fosgate amps like this. I'm old school we ran punch 45s back in the day ,

Thanks for the info guys. I'm grabbing that bish up .

hey i have a question regarding the same amp. Can they handle a 3/4 ohm load on music?

[95 south]

They can handle that load but you have to make sure you provide the right amount of juice to that amp. I ran mine at .5 for about a month and it was loud as hell during that time. But I went back to my normal 1 ohm load because it didn't put so much strain on my gear and stuff. Also OP the non constant power amps did big power as well. I actually seen some do well over 3500 watts at 1 ohm.

just curious i have a client build coming up he 3-4 12 w7s laying around and needs an amp to power them

Birthsheet numbers don't translate into real world numbers very well. Your best bet, assuming proper electrical and all that, is to expect 2500 watts from that amp.
