Is this RF amp good? (this guy is telling me rf> mtx)

Post by lotas »

Hey well I decided on either the MTX 1501D or JBL 1201.1 for my 12" XXX. Now this guy I just talked to is trying to talk me into getting a RF 1501BD. Now personally I haven't heard many good things about RF and their products. Is this amp good? I guess my real question is, does this amp beat the MTX 1501D or JBL 1201.1?

I assumed mtx amps > rf amps mostly because of how Kiki talked about mtx, but wanted some other opinions...thanks.

by the way, when i say "beat" I mean overall quality...the output(is it gonna put out what it says or more?), the reliability, the build, etc.

In my opinion, they are all relatively equal products. I'd go for which ever is cheapest if I was choosing amoung those three.

Between the three I would chooce the one with the most power, end of story.

Close to equal quality between them all IMO.

between MTX and RF, id choose RF mainly because i like to have a remote bass knob...but compared to MTX they're bassically similar...

i also know MTX rated their amps at 14.4V not sure about RF tho
