Rockford Fosgate 1500 Watt 5-Channel M5 Element Ready Amplifier Rockford Fosgate 1500 Watt 5-Channel M5 Element Ready Amplifier The M5-1500X5 amplifier features Element Ready design from Rockford Fosgate that’s built as rugged as the outdoor environment. The IPX6 rating is provided by splash guards on both ends and heavy-duty molded harnesses with integral sealing gaskets. A new PRESET switch – for use with Rockford Fosgate UTV / Side-by-Side / SxS 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/BD and C.L.E.A.N. 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.
