Overview

The PM500X2 is a 500 Watt 2-channel amplifier with high dynamic power using Class-A/B technology and a conformal coated pc board designed for motorsport and marine applications.

The PM500X2 is an excellent way to PUNCH up your sound system without monopolizing your entire trunk - that way you have more room for subs! With its massive output stage, this amplifier is best suited for driving a pair of 8-ohm SVC subwoofers or four 2-ohm DVC subwoofers. Remember to utilize the recommended power and speaker cables to optimize power delivery.

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).

TRANS•ana

TRANS•ana is a Class A/B topology that simplifies the signal path of the amplifier allowing the signal to travel through the amplifier at a lower voltage. The result is greater reliability and exceptional sound quality.

Balanced Differential Inputs

Differential inputs eliminate noise picked up by signal cables.

DTM

Dynamic Thermal Management evenly distributes excess heat across entire amplifier heatsink.

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.

Engineered in the USA
