Rockford Fosgate P500X1BD Punch 500 Watt Class-BD Mono Amplifier

Power your car audio with the Rockford Fosgate P500X1BD, a Punch Series mono amplifier delivering 500 watts RMS at 1 ohm for deep, impactful bass. Engineered in Tempe, Arizona, this Class-BD amplifier uses advanced technologies like C.L.E.A.N. setup and MEHSA3 cooling to ensure efficient, clean power for subwoofers or mid-bass speakers in high-performance systems.

Key Features of the Rockford Fosgate P500X1BD

  • Class-BD Technology: Achieves 75-80% efficiency, producing bass more effectively than traditional Class-A/B amplifiers.
  • C.L.E.A.N. Setup: Calibrated Level Eliminates Audible Noise with clip LEDs for precise gain adjustment to prevent distortion.
  • MEHSA3 Cooling: Maximizes heat transfer with up to five times better efficiency than standard FET mounting, reducing distortion.
  • DSM Technology: Uses 1% tight-tolerance components to improve circuit efficiency and lower operating temperatures.
  • Punch EQ2 Bass Boost: Offers 0 to +18dB boost at 45Hz for enhanced low-end performance.
  • High-Level Inputs with Auto Turn-On: Accepts speaker-level inputs without a signal converter for easy OEM integration.
  • Stealth Top-Mounted Control Panel: Protects settings while maintaining a sleek design.
  • RCA Pass-Thru Outputs: Allows connection to additional amplifiers for system expansion.
  • Optional PLC2 Remote: Punch Level Control (sold separately) enables remote bass adjustment with clip indication.
