T1000X5ad

The Rockford Fosgate T1000X5ad is an ultra-compact, high-performance 5-channel amplifier from the POWER MICRO series with a total of 1,000 watts RMS. By combining efficient Class ad technology for the four speaker channels with Class bd technology for the subwoofer channel, it offers a powerful all-in-one solution for high-end car audio systems.

Multi-Impedance Constant Power technology ensures constant output power from the four main channels at 2 and 4 ohms. The separate subwoofer channel delivers up to 600 watts RMS and remains stable down to 1 ohm. Thanks to its compact dimensions, the amplifier is particularly well-suited for vehicles with limited installation space.

The integrated C.L.E.A.N. technology, featuring input and output clipping detection, makes it easy to fine-tune the amplifier. Two temperature-controlled fans, real-time temperature monitoring, and massive heat sinks ensure reliable operation. High-level inputs with automatic power-on also enable integration into existing OEM sound systems.
