Description

The M5 series is the highest performing, most feature rich, water resistant amplifiers we make and they’re purpose built for any and every application. The 1500-Watt 5-channel M5-1500X5 amplifier features the next level of Element Ready design from Rockford 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. 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 CTA-2006 industry standard Dynamic Power ratings, bringing their conservative ratings to the forefront. These CTA-2006 guidelines mean your amplifier's output power ratings are REAL POWER numbers, not inflated marketing ratings. This is real dynamic rated power, engineered to perform not only on paper, but performance heard through the musical experience. Out of the box performance, literally. Featuring a new PRESET switch, designed for use with Rockford Fosgate Motorsport audio kits, eliminates the need to set-up and tune the amp for the best experience possible. Utilizing this amp for a different application? No problem. Just turn off the PRESET to custom tune your system and dial in your own sound. No matter how hard you push or where you take this amp, it pushes back with powerful output and performance. It never quits and provides the ability to play-all-day, so you and your music can too. Built on our popular Power Marine series, M5 amplifiers feature the same great technologies like Constant Power, Class-AD/BD and C.L.E.A.N., all engineered, developed, and validated in Tempe, Arizona. The IPX6 rated amplifier provides superior protection from water, built to stand up to all the elements including water, dust, mud, and UV rays Featuring splash guards on both ends, with heavy-duty molded harnesses and integral sealing gaskets for a water tight seal The top mounted control panel is protected from the elements by the removeable waterproof smoked lens The M5 amplifiers are the first series based on the 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 (your music). 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. Dynamic Power is real-world wattage when connected to a speaker load, listening to music Continuous (RMS) Power is wattage developed on the test bench for comparison against other amplifiers in the same class Built by Fanatics…For Fanatics! Truly a line designed by fanatics for fanatics, our family of products are developed by the same people that use them in their everyday lives. It’s the Rockford Fosgate commitment of passion, power and performance built into everything we produce, connecting enthusiasts to their music and machine. Best of all, our entire line of products are designed and engineered in Tempe, AZ, USA!

  • Runs hot at hell
This thing runs hot!!!!! But so far so good sounds great.

  • Great amp
It is compact and powerful I don’t even dare crank up all my volume. Running 4 - 6.5 inch speakers in the roof and 2 - 10 inch subs. Crystal clear with my side-by-side off and while it is running, no static noises. I know I paid a little extra for this amp above what I was planning, but not disappointed. Quality matters, you get what you pay for in amps/speakers. ... show more

  • Amazing rugged amplifier
Amp works amazingly right out of the box, no adjustments needed, attached cables are long and easy to attach your speakers and subs into.

  • Was good until it wasn't
Worked great for a couple of years, then lost 2 channels. Installed on my boat in a dry compartment, but the humidity still penetrated the unit with condensation killing it. Took it apart to reveal condensed water inside both end connectors, the tuning cover plate, and internally on the electronics. The seals on the end caps appear to be nothing more than a thin coat dielectric grease. There don't appear to be rubber seals. From my research when looking for a replacement, this is appears to be a common issue with this unit. Considering that it is one of the more expensive units in it's class, I would recommend exploring other options. ... show more

  • M5-1500X5 in a Harley!
Bought several months ago to put in my Harley street glides fairing. It’s definitely not meant to be in there but we did anyways since I wanted to add subs and more speakers but only off of one amp. It woke up my current speakers up and still have more to play with on settings. She gets warm so I added a heat sink on top to help mitigate the heat. Remember to use 4 gauge wire on the install. If I remember correctly it birthed at 1750 rms. ... show more
