Rockford Fosgate M5-800X4 4-Channel Waterproof Amplifier

Rockford Fosgate M5-800X4 800 Watt 4-Channel Element Ready Amplifier

The M5-800X4 amplifier features the next level of Element Ready™ design from Rockford Fosgate that’s built as rugged as the outdoor environment it’s used in. The IPX6 rating is provided by a water tight seal featuring splash guards on both ends and heavy-duty molded harnesses with integral sealing gaskets. A new PRESET switch - for use with Rockford Fosgate UTV 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 and C.L.E.A.N., all engineered, developed, and validated in Tempe, Arizona.

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.

Features

• Element Ready™ - Amps
  These amplifiers are protected against Dust, UV, Corrosion, and feature Stainless hardware.
• CTA-2006 Compliant
  Power ratings on Rockford Fosgate amplifiers conform to CEA-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.
• DSM
  DSM utilize 1% tight-tolerances improving efficiency of the circuit, decreases cross-talk from other discrete components and lowers operating temperature.
• P.O.W.E.R.
  Power supply circuit design that allows the amplifier to increase output power as voltage increases.
• 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.
