From the manufacturer
Rockford Fosgate Prime 1,200 Watt Class-D Mono Amplifier
The Prime R1200-1D is an ultra-efficient mono amplifier for cars and trucks that can produce 1,200 Watts into a 1-Ohm load without taxing the electrical system. The frequency response of the R1200-1D is optimized exclusively for use with subwoofers.
The amplifier offers high efficiency through the implementation of its Class-D circuitry while delivering rich, full bass to any system. This car amplifier is optimized for subwoofers with the implementation of an infrasonic filter to keep those ultra-low (inaudible) bass notes from damaging your subwoofer system.
Match with a 4-channel stereo amplifier for your mids/highs and you'll have a Rockford Fosgate system that any Car Audio Fanatic will envy.
- 12dB/octave Butterworth crossover
- Infrasonic filter
- On-board Punch EQ with +18dB boost @ 45Hz
- Remote PLC (Punch Level Control)
- RCA pass-thru outputs
- Real time output and power supply thermal sensing
- Cast aluminum heatsink
- Top mounted controls

Pros:
1. Its powerful. Each amp is tested by Rockford before shipping and they send you the sheet listing it's true RMS at 1 ohm. Mine pushes 1287 watts. SAY WHAT?!
2. Its tiny. I couldn't believe they squeezed 1200 watts out of this petite little thing.
3. I looks cool. Like a big black and silver brick of awesomeness.
4. It comes with an awesome bass equalizer and all the hardware to wire and place it.
5. Its easy to wire. I had my previous amp wired with terminal connectors, but the Rockford requires only that you insert the bare wire into the terminal on the amp and tighten the screws with the provided allen key.
I like to try to be a little critical, but it was hard this time. So...
The Cons:
1. The "4 gauge" terminals on the amp seem to be a little smaller than my KnuKonceptz 4 gauge wire. I had to trim a little wire off and still struggled to get all of wire in the terminal. (I do not have the same problem with my girlfriend)
2. If you already have wiring terminal connectors on your wiring, you'll need to take it off, which is slightly inconvenient.
3. The light on the equalizer (bass knob) is very, very bright blue, and is almost blinding at night when driving. And, its the EXACT same color as police lights, which caused me a little panic the first few nights of driving with it, as I kept thinking the reflection from the light was a cop trying to pull me over (Trying is the key word).There is no way to turn this off short of unplugging it.
4. It'll leave you wondering what you've been doing with your life (or at least how you've been coping without this thing while driving).
5. It will make your car fall apart. I have a 2006 Honda Accord. This thing makes it vibrate as if it were made of plastic bags (My girlfriend loves it). After having the amp for one day, I ordered 50 sq ft of sound deadening to combat the awful vibrations. So far its working. (She wants to to take the sound deadening out)
Great amp, great price, go buy it now.
Here are a couple of tips--
You need to get a very good wiring kit for an amp of this power. Don't just look at the gauge of the wiring and think that 4 gauge is going to properly support this amplifier. I ordered one from lightning audio ( Lightning Audio by Rockford Fosgate 4 Gauge Ga Awg Amplifier Installation Wiring Amp Kit ), which is supposed to be a Rockford Fosgate brand. The product description on Amazon doesn't specify this, but the packaging says it's for amps less than 1,000 watts. You're gonna need to spend more than $60 for a wiring kit that will convey the power this amp requires.
Rockford Fosgate technicians certify each amp before it's sent out to distributors. Mine was rated at 1390 watts! (see pic of certificate)
The bright blue LED on the gain knob is no big deal. A piece of black electrical tape solves the problem.
The takeaway I can offer here is that this amplifier is a solid product that provides great sound without clipping no matter how much I turn that knob. I would have installed an all-Rockford system, but they didn't have subwoofers that would fit my enclosure ( ASC Chevy C/K Silverado or GMC Sierra Full Size Extended Cab Truck 1988-1998 Dual 12" Subwoofer Custom Fit Sub Box Speaker Enclosure ).

Update: I ended up replacing the L7’s with Memphis M5 12” subs and wow! Even with the amp being “underpowered” for the subs (400W per speaker when they want 600W rms) the bass is so clean and strong. It literally flexed the roof of my Mercedes S550. Zero distortion, no issues with it going into protect mode, nothing. It’s just a great amp that I recommend to everyone on a budget.

-Nice and compact
-Great power for the price, my test sheet said 1294 watts
-Infrasonic filter for ported boxes
It does get a touch warm. Nothing crazy but if you feel it you would definitely call it warm.
