Overview

Compact 400 Watt full-range 4-channel Class-D amplifier featuring Rockford Fosgate's Boosted Rail Technology for efficient power in small installations.

Best for

  • Compact car audio systems
  • Front/rear stereo systems
  • Motorsports and motorcycle applications (Element Ready)
  • Small vehicles such as trucks, sub-compacts, electric and hybrid vehicles; also suitable for UTVs and boats

Key points

  • 400 Watt full-range output in a 4-channel configuration
  • Full Range Class-D topology for efficient power delivery
  • Boosted Rail Technology (BRT) for high efficiency and reduced current draw
  • Variable hi-level DC offset turn-on for easier integration with OEM systems
  • CEA-2006 (amplifier) compliant
  • Element Ready design options for motorsports and motorcycle use

Fit and use

Designed for stereo front/rear systems where space and electrical capacity are limited. The compact footprint suits installations in tight locations; the variable hi-level turn-on simplifies connection to factory head units. Use this amplifier where efficient, full-range power is required without large, heavy components.

What to know

This amplifier is engineered for efficiency but will still require appropriate power and grounding; consult the owner's manual for exact power ratings, wiring requirements, and installation guidance. CEA-2006 referencing indicates standardized amplifier measurement. For system-specific fitment, wiring details, or conf…
