Old School or New School ??

[Impious 1,476]

Presently I own two Coustic 505DR's, three Coustic 510DR's and one Soundstream Rubicon 702. All pretty sweet old school amplifiers (if I do say so myself ).

However, I'm very seriously contemplating selling them all and picking up three or four Rockford Fosgate T3002's.

I'm wanting to compete in IASCA 0-600w class. With the RF's, I would have potential power of well over 2kw, yet still remain in the 0-600w bracket. With my current amps, I would be pushing the limit of 600w with even two of them, and I wouldn't have much more actual total power output than that 600w. Plus the RF amps are 1ohm/channel stable, were as the Coustics are not.....so the RF's really have future flexibility in their corner aswell.

I can't decide if I really want to pull the trigger and spring for the newer amps (really leaning that direction), or if I want to stick with the old school amplifier theme (simply because they are seen less, harder to get ahold of....and I do enjoy the uniqueness).

Opinions?

I would use the old school amps but they might not like the abuse of burps.

Also, if you cook one, to bad. Using the RF's you will have the option of using the warranty to fix whatever breaks, god forbid

I'd say old skool, but it may not be right for the competition.

I personally like the new RF's, and I have owned numerous SS's so I know your feelings on them

Those RF's definetly pump out the power

Rated at 300W rms, actual output is close to 850W.

That's what interests me about them

I'm an old school fool. Just completed a purchase on some new items today. Woohoo!

If you can swing, keep the stuff you have and buy the RFs.

LOL....oh, I have the mentality.

It's the spare room in the ole pocketbook that I don't have

I think he was referring to the fact that I did not type, "it" after swing. LOL Aaron! Nice find!
