Rockford Fosgate TM500X1br

Power TM500X1br - 500 Watt Class-BR Ultra-compact Mono Amplifier

The Power TM500X1br 500 Watt mono ultra-compact amplifier is built on Rockford Fosgate’s successful launch of the Mobile audio version of the Power Series amplifiers. Due to their flexibility, small footprint and high-end performance they were being used for motorcycles, UTVs and boat systems. Because of this, Rockford Fosgate engineers set out to create a version that was geared more toward a life in the elements - in comes the Element Ready series of Power amplifiers. The TM500X1br is loaded with Rockford Fosgate's patented Boosted Rail technology that sips current while retaining a storage reserve for extended bursts of power. The amplifier features very flexible vehicle integration 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. In addition, a brushed aluminum chassis with UV inhibitors added to the finish and a Marine grade two-part epoxy coating on the circuit boards ensures that you will continue enjoying your system while enduring even the most extreme of elements.




2-part Epoxy Coating

Beat the Elements

Extruded aluminum with UV inhibitors and 4 layer 2oz copper circuit board with 2-part epoxy coating are used for their UV radiation resistance and moisture protection. Rockford Fosgate moto-marine amplifiers not only have the capabilities you expect a Rockford amp to have, but they have been designed to stand up to the environmental conditions you are likely to subject them to. Whether out on the water, on the mud or in the back roads these amplifiers are designed to perform through Dust, UV, Corrosion and whatever beating you plan to subject them to.


CLEAN (Calibrated Level Eliminates Audible Noise)

C.L.E.A.N. Set-Up

Take the headache out of tuning and dialing in your system. Rockford Fosgate’s integrated level setting technology called CLEAN (Calibrated Level Eliminates Audible Noise), utilize simple LED indicators to identify both signal clipping from the audio source and the output level clipping to the speakers. This precise level set-up eliminates speaker damaging distortion by making sure that the system is passing through a safe clean signal. No more fumbling with meters, formulas and crunching numbers, dial in your system to the proper calibrations with ease.

Great product

This little thing is amazing. It's been pushing my 12" 600 rms sub for a year now. It only gets better. I am amazed by the power this things packs. Even though is a lot more expensive than other alpine or pioneer or other amps at 500 w rms but I don't see myself purchasing any other 500 watt amp ever! This amp is great. I would be blasting the shit out of my sub for hours at a time and the amp wouldn't even break a sweat. A must have amp if you are serious bout your sound!

Super small size

I actually purchased the T500x1br, but the whole concept is the same. This amp is amazingly small. My shoe (size 10.5) is larger than the amp. As such it can be installed absolutely anywhere. However in order to have access to all the gains and settings I have installed it into my trunk next to the sub (12inch P3) where I custom designed a small platform-type box and displayed in on the top, and hide all the wires in the box. A must to have with it is a remote bass control, where you can adjust the bass settings from the drivers seat. Being so small also has it's disadvantages; the ground, remote and power slots are super tiny, and very close to each other. I had a 2 Gauge power wire running from the battery and it was impossible to fit it in. I had to cut it to make it size 8 in order to fit in the mounts. But other than that, so far it has been behaving good. And one more thing, this thing has a large price tag...
