Rockford Fosgate P1000X5 Punch 1,000 Watt 5-Channel Amplifier

The Rockford Fosgate P1000X5 is an ultra-efficient 5-channel amplifier capable of running your entire system without excessive drain on your charging system. The P1000X5 is perfect for running a front/rear system and a dedicated subwoofer. The Rockford Fosgate P1000X5 1,000 Watt full-range 5-channel is the one-and-only amplifier you will need to run your entire system. Run dash speakers off the front channels, run back speakers off the rear channels and run subwoofer(s) off the 5th channel! Known world-wide for brute power, this amplifier offers a higher level of efficiency along with a tri-stage protection that covers thermal, over-current and short circuits.

Big power for your whole system

Rockford Fosgate’s Punch P1000X5 amplifier can power your entire system, delivering 75 watts RMS to each of your front and rear speakers, along with up to 500 watts RMS to a subwoofer. The sub channel’s low-pass and subsonic filters come in handy for getting the right sound from your sub/enclosure combo, and you can use the amp’s high-pass filters to remove the bass from your full-range speakers so they’ll play more efficiently. The Punch EQ2 includes bass and treble boosts, in case you want to liven up the mix.

Not worried about rear speakers? You can also switch this amp into 3-channel mode to drive a couple of high-performance components with 250 watts RMS each while still powering a sub with up to 500 watts.

Easy to set for optimum performance

Once again, Rockford Fosgate steps away from the crowd with their C.L.E.A.N. technology (Calibrated Level Eliminates Audible Noise) — a setup system that ensures your music will sound as clean and powerful as possible. It works like this: play the setup tone on the included test CD, adjust the receiver volume until a red clip light on the amp goes out, then turn the amp gain up until a blue light comes on. It’s that simple — your amplifier is now set to match your receiver’s output. When your receiver reaches maximum clean volume, you’ll get maximum clean power from your Punch amp. At quiet listening levels, you’ll hear less background noise and more of your music.

Keeps an eye on things while playing

If that blue light turns solid red while you’re playing music, the amp’s telling you that your source is distorting and you should turn it down, or risk damage to your gear. The optional PLC2 remote level control also doubles as a clip indicator, so you can see from the front seat if your music’s clipping. The amp’s built-in computer keeps tabs on the output current, ensuring that plunging speaker impedances (they change during play) or even a short circuit won’t hurt anything.

Eliminating heat raises efficiency and lowers distortion

Rockford Fosgate’s Dynamic Thermal Management system uses forced air to dissipate heat evenly across the amp and out through the high-mass heatsink, efficiently drawing heat away from vital internal parts. Their proprietary MEHSA cooling process maximizes the heat transfer from the MOSFET devices to the heatsink, allowing the heat to escape more readily, so the transistors stay cooler and work better.
