Rockford Fosgate PBR500X1 500 Watts RMS Monoblock Class BR Punch Boosted Rail Amplifier

Boosted Rail amp technology

You won't believe how small and powerful this amp is. Rockford Fosgate's PBR500X1 mono amp can drive up to 500 watts RMS into a one-ohm load, allowing you to power multiple subs to get more bass. And this Punch Class BR amplifier generates this power from a very tiny case — literally the size of your hand. Boosted Rail (BR) amp technology uses capacitors and high-speed circuitry to boost the amp's power supply voltage, when needed, so it can handle massive musical peaks without missing a beat. Rockford Fosgate uses this new technology to create a remarkable amp that fits almost anywhere and delivers powerful sound.

Convenience and reliability
Add Rockford Fosgate's famous Punch EQ remote bass boost, and you'll be able to control the subwoofer impact from your front seat. The amp also features speaker-level inputs with signal-sensing turn-on, allowing you to connect into almost any system without having to run a turn-on lead back to the receiver. An extruded aluminum heat sink combines with Rockford Fosgate's heat management technology to make sure your tunes keep rockin' — even when you're playing loud.
