Ultra RARE ONLY around 100pcs in the WORLD !
New Old Stock "2pcs of Rockford Fosgate POWER 1000 Mosfet TERMINATOR EDITION"
The Rockford Fosgate Power 1000 Mosfet "Terminator Edition" (from now on we'll refer to as the 1000C) was a step forward in design from the original Power 1000 Mosfet, which was introduced around 1987. The internals were identical except for the LED meter and removal of the "caboose". The 1000C's chrome appearance and $2650 US MSRP meant this amp was not for your average 16 year old getting a new stereo....it was for serious competitors and those who got had the means to buy such an expensive amplifier. Many Rockford dealers had one or more of these amps in their demo vehicles and most of us could only dream of owning such an amp.
The 1000C is a four-channel, class A/B amplifier with no internal crossovers. See detailed specs below:

Here is an informational email I received directly from Rockford Fosgate when I inquired about the 1000c Terminator Edition amp:
“The T1000’s went from the black painted and silkscreened ones with the caboose (that covered the 6ga B+ & Gnd terminal block), then to the black painted and silkscreened ones that no longer had the caboose and just had the one B+ and two GND cables hanging out of it. Then it migrated into a chrome fan shroud. That’s about the time that Wayne Harris came on board with designing the LED output meter for the T1000’s. Then probably in ’92-’93* is when the Terminator Edition hit the market with the special screening and LED display. It was a very limited run….I think maybe only 100pcs or so. I think Wayne had 10 of them for himself.”
