Prime 500 Watt Mono Amplifier R2-500X1
Prime 500 Watt Mono Amplifier R2-500X1
Primed for Performance, the R2-500X1 is a 500 watt, class-D amplifier capable of operating at 4Ω or 2Ω mono. This amplifier is extremely efficient because of its Class-D technology which reduces demand on the vehicles electrical system. The amp also features C.L.E.A.N. circuitry to help you adjust your gain settings, a P.O.W.E.R. supply that generates more power as voltage increases, and integrated Punch EQ that corrects for acoustic deficiencies while delivering up to 3X the bass. Perfect for subwoofers, a variable infrasonic filter and remote level control allows you to tune the bass for the desired level for the music.
The R2 models were developed for car audio fanatics that want a reliable amplifier – with all the power and performance you’ve come to expect from Rockford Fosgate – at an economical price. Rockford Fosgate amplifiers are renowned world-wide for being “under rated,” easily surpassing all specifications, and most importantly, generating more power than their ratings. These 3rd generation of Prime Series amplifiers are refined with the latest Rockford Fosgate technology for easy setup and configuration, making them perfect for use with factory audio or custom aftermarket systems.
