Rockford Fosgate T1000X5ad Power 1,000 Watt Compact 5-Channel Amplifier

The Power T1000x5ad is an compact, Class ad 1000 Watt multi-channel amplifier. Differential inputs with high-level auto turn-on, a CLEAN circuit with input/output clip detection, top-mounted controls, and dual fan forced induction cooling are among the features. It also includes our patented Punch EQ circuit and Differential inputs with auto turn-on capabilities, making it ideal for hybrid and electric vehicles, small cars, trucks, motorcycles, and side-by-side UTVs.

The T1000X5ad Element Ready multi-channel amplifier is a 1000 watt RMS unit built on our proprietary Class ad platform that delivers unmatched sound quality while consuming less power. When used in conjunction with our Constant Power technology, this amplifier can easily exceed its rated power by up to 25% per channel.

Even at high outputs, heat dissipation is maintained thanks to dual fan cooling, real-time thermal monitoring, and dual extruded heat sinks. The amplifier can also be used with our PLC2 level remote control to control the sub channel’s output level from a distance.

Super-compact and packed with power

Rockford Fosgate’s Power Series T1000X5ad 5-channel amplifier can send 100 watts RMS each to four separate speakers while delivering up to 600 watts RMS to a subwoofer. Or you could use this tiny powerpack to run a couple of high-performance components with 200 watts each along with 600 watts RMS for the sub. A dual-fan forced air cooling system keeps this sturdy little amp from overheating, so it can play hard for a long time.

Class AD is precise and powerful.

To create this ultra-efficient, high-output amplifier, Rockford Fosgate employs their proprietary Class AD amplifier technology, which combines the high fidelity of a Class A system with the high efficiency of their special Class D technology. In other words, compared to most other amps on the market today, this compact amp produces more power with less current draw from your vehicle’s charging system.

The high-tech solutions from Rockford Fosgate provide more power.

Using Rockford Fosgate’s Constant Power technology, the Power Series amplifiers actively monitor speaker performance. The impedance of a speaker varies naturally as it performs, competing with the output of your amplifier. Constant Power maintains this amp’s output by increasing its internal voltage and current flow when the speaker’s impedance rises, similar to how cruise control increases the engine’s RPM to maintain your car’s speed uphill. The amp’s total power output can increase by up to 25% as a result of this.

Easy to set for optimum performance

Rockford Fosgate’s C.L.E.A.N. technology (Calibrated Level Eliminates Audible Noise) setup system ensures your music will sound as clean and powerful as possible. It works like this: first download the setup tones from Rockford Fosgate, then play the tone, 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 will be perfectly set to match your receiver’s output. When your receiver reaches maximum clean volume, you’ll get maximum clean power from your Power amp. At quiet listening levels, you’ll hear less background noise and more of your music.

Clip lights

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.
