Overview

The TM400X4ad is a compact 400 Watt 4-channel amplifier using Rockford Fosgate’s high-efficiency Class‑AD topology and Constant Power technology to maximize output, sound quality and efficiency.

Best for

  • Marine and motorsport audio installations where moisture resistance is needed
  • Compact or space-limited installations requiring a full-range 4-channel amp
  • Setups that benefit from flexible input options and on‑top control access

Key points

  • 400 Watt total power in an ultra-compact 4-channel package
  • Class‑AD topology with Constant Power for consistent output at 4Ω and 2Ω
  • Element Ready design with conformal-coated PC boards for improved environmental resistance
  • Top-mounted C.L.E.A.N. input/output clip detection, built-in crossover and Punch EQ
  • High- and low-level inputs with differential input noise rejection and auto turn-on
  • Remote-out trigger available when using high-level inputs

Fit and use

Top-mounted controls provide easy access to gain, crossover and C.L.E.A.N. settings. Use low- or high-level inputs depending on source equipment; differential inputs help reduce incoming noise. The amp’s compact footprint and Element Ready construction suit installations exposed to moisture or vibration common in marine and motorsport environments.

What to know

The amplifier includes active thermal protection (dual fans and real-time monitoring) to manage heat during high output. Element Ready and conformal coating increase resilience to moisture and contaminants. Confirm the amplifier’s electrical and physical specifications match your system requirements before purchase.

More info

Manufacturer details

The TM400X4ad is a powerful and compact 400 Watt 4-channel amplifier.  The amplifier features our proprietary high efficiency Class-ad topology for maximum power, sound quality and efficiency in full-range amplifier. It also integrates our patented Constant Power technology which results in up to 25% more output power. Top mounted controls feature our patented C.L.E.A.N. circuit to easily set your gains, integrated low-pass crossover, and our famous Punch EQ.

The amplifier also features high and low level inputs combined with our differential inputs to eliminate incoming noise.  It can also provide a remote-out trigger when using high level inputs. Dual fan cooling, real time thermal monitoring and dual extruded heat sinks maintain heat dissipation even at high outputs keep the amp cool.

In addition to the conformal coated pc boards, the Element Ready™ design ads protection against water, dust and UV rays, making it great for multiple applications where it could be exposed to harsh outdoor environment.

Additional details

The Power TM400X4ad 400 Watt 4-channel ultra-compact, amplifier is built on Rockford Fosgate’s proprietary Class-AD technology, featuring Constant Power to produce the same output at both 4-Ohm and 2-Ohm impedances. Flexible vehicle integration enabled through low-level and high-level inputs with auto turn-on. Top mounted controls allow easy access to built-in crossover and C.L.E.A.N. input/output clip detection circuits. The 3-stage thermal lock extrusion with dual fan forced induction keeps everything cool while real-time thermal/protection schemes safeguard the amplifier.
