PM1000X5

The Rockford Fosgate PM1000X5 is a powerful 5-channel marine amplifier from the Punch series, designed to deliver high-quality sound for complete audio systems. With a total output of up to 1,000 watts RMS, it allows for the simultaneous operation of four speakers and one or more subwoofers using just a single amplifier.

The four main channels use Class A/B technology to deliver dynamic, detailed music reproduction. The separate subwoofer channel utilizes efficient Class bd technology and delivers up to 500 watts RMS into 1 ohm. Thanks to the built-in crossovers, Punch EQ tone control, and C.L.E.A.N. technology, the amplifier can be optimally tuned to different speaker configurations.

For use in marine environments, the PM1000X5 features a special two-component epoxy coating on the circuit boards, corrosion-resistant stainless steel components, and a rugged aluminum housing. Comprehensive protective circuits against overheating, overcurrent, and short circuits ensure reliable operation.
