ROCKFORD FOSGATE M5-1500X5

DYNAMIC POWER

Rockford Fosgate amplifiers are known world-wide for producing more power than their ratings suggest. The M5 amplifiers are the first series based on new industry standard Dynamic Power ratings, bringing their conservative ratings to the forefront. Engineered from the ground up and purpose-built to deliver more output where you actually hear it, this is real dynamic power that performs not only on paper, but performance heard through the musical experience. You’ll see 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. Either way you look at it, Rockford Fosgate is proving – once again – these amplifiers are powerful enough to drive any speaker or subwoofer you throw at them.

TECHNOLOGIES

• Element Ready™ | Amps:  All components are protected against harsh outdoor elements like Dust, UV, Temperature, Water, Corrosion & Vibration.

• P.O.W.E.R:  Power supply circuit design that allows the amplifier to increase output power as voltage increases.

• IPX6 Water Intrusion Rating:  Water projected in powerful jets from any direction shall have no harmful effects.

• MEHSA 4 (Maximum Efficiency Heat Sink Application):  MEHSA⁴ reduces MOSFET temperatures, lowers distortion, increases durability and prolongs the output device life span.

• C.L.E.A.N. Set-Up:  C.L.E.A.N. (Calibrated Level Eliminates Audible Noise) is a patented circuit with in/out clip LEDs to help match a source to amp and optimize output.

• Balanced Differential Inputs:  Differential inputs eliminate noise picked up by signal cables.

• Constant Power:  Constant Power is a patented circuit topology that provides instantaneous delivery of output power over varying impedance loads.

• Punch EQ2:  Onboard equalizer with up to +18dB @ 45Hz and/or up to +12dB boost at 12kHz.

• NOMAD:  NOMAD is a "real time" analog computer that protects your amplifier from shorting speaker wires and dangerously low speaker impedances.

• Engineered In The USA:  These Avatars are a personal signature from the Rockford Fosgate team member(s) who designed and engineered this fanatic product. This statement illustrates our commitment to being Designed and Engineered in the U.S.A.

• DSM:  DSM utilize 1% tight-tolerances improving efficiency of the circuit, decreases cross-talk from other discrete components and lowers operating temperature.

• CTA-2006 Compliant:  Power ratings on Rockford Fosgate amplifiers conform to CTA-2006 industry standards. These guidelines mean your amplifier's output power ratings are REAL POWER numbers, not inflated marketing ratings.

• Class-AD:  This technology allows the amplifier to produce more power with less current draw from the vehicle's charging system.
