Powerful Marine Sound Amplifier

Experience serious marine sound with the M5-1500X5 1,500 Watt 5-Channel IPX6 Element Ready™ Amplifier. Built rugged to withstand the outdoor environment, this amplifier features Rockford Fosgate's next level Element Ready™ design.

Built for the Marine Environment

Rockford's Element Ready™ technology ensures that this amplifier is purpose-built to withstand water, salt, and UV exposure. It's designed to stand the test of time, even in harsh marine conditions.

Easy Set-Up and Optimal Output

The patented C.L.E.A.N. circuit with input and output clip indicators helps you match the source unit to the amplifier, making set-up a breeze. This optimizes the musical output and ensures the best performance.

Unmatched Power Supply

The unique P.O.W.E.R. supply of this amplifier generates more than its rated power as the voltage increases. This means you get the output you demand, even in demanding situations.

Real Dynamic Power

Rockford Fosgate amplifiers are known for producing more power than their ratings suggest, and the M5 series is no exception. Engineered to deliver more output where you actually hear it, this amplifier brings real dynamic power to your musical experience. With both Continuous Power and Dynamic Power ratings, you can trust that this amplifier will drive any speaker or subwoofer with ease.

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.

Class-AD

This technology allows the amplifier to produce more power with less current draw from the vehicle's charging system.

Class-BD

Class-BD amplifiers have 75-80% efficiency ratings vs. 20-60% efficiency ratings of traditional Class-A/B amplifiers.

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.

Constant Power

Constant Power is a patented circuit topology that provides instantaneous delivery of output power over varying impedance loads.

Balanced Differential Inputs

Differential inputs eliminate noise picked up by signal cables.

MEHSA 4 (Maximum Efficiency Heat Sink Application)
