M5 800 Watt 4-Channel Element Ready™ Amplifier

The M5-800X4 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 moulded 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 and C.L.E.A.N., all engineered, developed, and validated in Tempe, Arizona.

Simply put, this is the most advanced true marine-grade amplifier available on the market.

Rockford Fosgate amplifiers are known world-wide for producing more power than their ratings suggest. The M5 amplifiers are the first series based on new industry standard Dynamic Power ratings, bringing their conservative ratings to the forefront. Engineered from the ground up and purpose-built to deliver more output where you actually hear it, this is real dynamic power that performs not only on paper, but performance heard through the musical experience. You’ll see two amplifier power ratings, the traditional Continuous Power output, and the new Dynamic Power output, both tested in accordance with the CTA-2006 specification. Consider Continuous Power as wattage developed on the test bench for comparison against other amplifiers in the same class, and Dynamic Power as real-world wattage when connected to a speaker load, listening to music. Either way you look at it, Rockford Fosgate is proving – once again – these amplifiers are powerful enough to drive any speaker or subwoofer you throw at them.

Element Ready™ - Amps

These amplifiers are protected against Dust, UV, Corrosion, and feature Stainless hardware.

Class AD

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

CEA-2006 Compliant

CEA-2006 Compliant

Power ratings on Rockford Fosgate amplifiers conform to CEA-2006 industry standards. These guidelines mean your amplifier's output power ratings are REAL POWER numbers, not inflated marketing ratings.

Constant Power

Constant Power

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

CE Compliant

CE Compliant

This product fulfills all essential safety and environmental requirements as defined in the European Directives (768/2008 EC).

3-Stage Airflow

P.O.W.E.R

Power supply circuit design that allows the amplifier to increase output power as voltage increases..

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

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

C.L.E.A.N. (Calibrated Level Eliminates Audible Noise) is a patented circuit with in/out clip LEDs to help match a source to the amp and optimise output.

DSM
DSM

DSM utilises 1% tight-tolerances improving the efficiency of the circuit, decreases cross-talk from other discrete components and lowers operating temperature.
