Can anyone help me out by telling the quality of rockford fosgate products, which is the top of the line and middle of the road. Looking to install a decent sound system in a 91 4runner, Nothing with a lot of bass, but LOUD!!!!

Old school Rockford Fosgate is absolutely awesome. Look for it on eBay. New school RF isn't quite stellar -- still decent, but a bit overpriced for what you get.

over priced and easy to kill. NOT durable at all, ive blown 2 sets of 6.5's and 2 12" subwoofers from rockford.

What amp were you using to power 'em? What subs? And how much power were you feeding 'em?

What exactly are you trying to do? A subwoofer system? A complete system?

How much money are you willing to spend?

No answers = no help.

Im looking to do a complete system, front and rear speakers, a moderate sub and amp. I just want it to be loud. willing to put a good chuck of cash into it

***cam2Xrunner*** · 08-16-2005, 11:21 PM

lol, I love it.

A good chunk of cash means this amount to some and THIS amount to others.

Rockford went back to the old school method with there 05 amps, I understand that they are very underrated and the quality has been improved. Of course there are other amps to look at. If you have a chunk of cash, get some Tru Technology Tube amps, I think a pair will set you back about 5-6K. Im sure that will take a little chunk of your cash.

Definitely a workable budget. Do you have any equipment yet? Are you partial to a brand of headunits? Does this 1700 dollar budget include everything like box, wiring, and all.

Also are you planning on installing yourself, or does that budget include labor for installation?
