I have a guy, who is trying to tell me rockford is way better than phoenix gold. Overall which brand of amps/subs/wiring do you think is the best? PG or RF?

He also said that his 2 12" rockford subs (500 rms each) would pound more with greater sound quality than my pg titanium 15" subs (650 rms each). Mine is in a custom sealed enclosure, his is in a ported enclosure.

He also told me PG sucks ***, cuz "his buddy" was trying to run 8 PG 15" subs and the amps coudldn't take it, and shorted out all the subs.

Now i stand behind my equipment, but is his head full of that much ****? or have i wasted my money with PG?

THANKS!

I'm no expert, but I'd pick PG over RF.... just my opinion.

Aesthetic-wise it would be hard to compare the two with their latest upbringing product.

Both have excelling reliability, but I tend to favour PG for some,...odd....reason...

I can say that a buddy of mine has a RF Power 800a4 and its clear as a bell going to a pair of Canton Pullman 6.5"s. PG I havent used since the M and MS series back in the 90s but top notch back then so I cant really see them going that far downhill since. If you want my opinion PG for amps, RF for subs as the last I can remember about PG subs was their Sapphire series like 8 or 9 years ago and I havent heard them lately.
