PM500X1bd
500W RMS Marine Mono Amplifier
Overview
The PM500X1bd is a 500 Watt mono amplifier with high dynamic power using Class-bd technology and a conformal coated pc board designed for motorsport and marine applications.
With its super efficient Class-bd circuit topology, the PM500X1bd will drop some serious BASS! Due to its dedicated low frequency response, this amplifier is optimized for mid-bass speakers or subwoofers only. No need to worry because its 1-ohm capability will drive a pair of 4-ohm DVC subwoofers or quad-configuration of 2-ohm DVC subwoofers with ease.

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.
CE Compliant
This product fulfills all essential safety and environmental requirements as defined in the European Directives (768/2008 EC).
Class-BD
Class-BD amplifiers have 75-80% efficiency ratings vs. 20-60% efficiency ratings of traditional Class-A/B amplifiers.
Balanced Differential Inputs
Differential inputs eliminate noise picked up by signal cables.
Element Ready™
All components are protected against harsh outdoor elements like Dust, UV, Temperature, Water, Corrosion and Vibration.
DSM
DSM utilize 1% tight-tolerances improving efficiency of the circuit, decreases cross-talk from other discrete components and lowers operating temperature.
NOMAD
NOMAD is a "real time" analog computer that protects your amplifier from shorting speaker wires and dangerously low speaker impedances.
MEHSA³
MEHSA³ 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.
