Rockford Fosgate M5-1500X5

Rockford Fosgate M5-1500X5 - 1,500 Watt 5-Channel IPX6 Element Ready™ Amplifier

The M5-1500X5 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 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/BD and C.L.E.A.N., all engineered, developed, and validated in Tempe, Arizona.
FEATURES AT A GLANCE
