Rockford Fosgate 1500 Watt 5-Channel M5 Element Ready Amplifier

Rockford Fosgate 1500 Watt 5-Channel M5 Element Ready Amplifier 

The M5-1500X5 amplifier features Element Ready design from Rockford Fosgate that’s built as rugged as the outdoor environment. The IPX6 rating is provided by splash guards on both ends and heavy-duty molded harnesses with integral sealing gaskets. A new PRESET switch - for use with Rockford Fosgate UTV / Side-by-Side / SxS audio kits - eliminates the need to set-up and tune the amp for the best experience possible. Built on the popular TM series, M5 amplifiers feature the same great technologies like Constant Power, Class-AD/BD and C.L.E.A.N.

Two amplifier power ratings, the traditional Continuous Power output, and the new Dynamic Power output, both tested in accordance with the CTA-2006 specification. Consider Continuous Power as wattage developed on the test bench for comparison against other amplifiers in the same class, and Dynamic Power as real-world wattage when connected to a speaker load, listening to music.

Features:

• Element Ready design with integrated harness and panel seals
• PRESET removes the need to set-up and tune the amp when used with Rockford Fosgate UTV audio kits
• C.L.E.A.N. input/output clip detection and indicator LEDs
• Constant Power provides instantaneous delivery of output over varying impedance loads
• Top mounted control panel with Element Ready smoked lens cover
• Low Impedance Stability
• Proprietary testing using RATS (Rockford Automated Testing System)
• Proprietary Class-AD technology allows amplifier to produce more power with less current draw
• Class-BD technology provides 75-80% efficiency over traditional class A/B designs
• Discrete Surface Mount technology utilizes 1% tight-tolerances for high efficiency and reduced cross-talk
• MESHA 4 reduces MOSFET temps, lowers distortion, increases durability and prolongs device life span
• Chassis Isolation from mounting points greatly reduces possible introduction of vehicle noise
• Balanced Differential Inputs eliminates noise picked up by signal cables
• Remote-Out feature when using high level inputs
