You probably can't get much for it but it should be a darn good amp.

on ebay they had a few 100watts for around $100. they have a few other old school amps on there 800watt for about $200-250? Idk, just getin everytones opinions, im still learning about this sort of stuff. I paid $100, pawnshop offered $110, must be somewhat good?

whats the name of the amp? A punch what? I know the old Punch 45's would push the hell out of a couple 12's. All the old school amps are seriously underrated. I wouldnt doubt if that amp is pushing somewhere around 1700watts

aww man im not sure what the name is. but I tryed it out yesterday but one of the channels were burnt. my friend said I should still keep and i could still hook both of them up, but im sellin it back to him today. im buying a punch 45 on ebay, are they 45watts? or 100watts? also I have 2 15's. think they will push? if not ill buy another one. let me know what yall think

idk all that much about car audio but i wouldnt put anything under a thousand watts to push two 15's.

The older Rockford Fosgate PUNCH amps will push damn near anything you have.

One of my dads buddies had one in his truck. You could hear him coming from over a mile away. It was fxcking insane.:eek2:

Your referring to the Punch 40DSM series, the Punch 45's and Punch 40 Trans Anas werent quite the same. The 40DSM put out 200x2 RMS at 4 ohms if im not mistaken. Old school RF is good stuff.

The 301S you have is probably around a 2003-2004 year made RF amp correct? If so those amps are NO WHERE near the amp of the old punch series. They put out the power claimed and no more. The Power series such as the BD1000.1 (now T10001BD) were still good amps, and still are.

I had a RF Punch 150 back in the day, that thing would drive the hell out of whatever I hooked it up to. I still have an old Alpine 3555 out in my garage. My system thumped with those two amps!
