Product Description
Rockford Fosgate PRIME R500-1 Mono Amplifier 500 Watts
Rockford Fosgate amplification at an unbelievable value. The R500-1 mono amplifier pumps out 500 watts into a 2-ohm load, perfect for a pair of R1S410 10" or R1S412 12" woofers. Check out our RFTECH:Woofer WiringWizard to get the most out of your amplifier.
The PRIME R500-1 is a monstrous mono amplifier that can pump out a whopping 500 Watts into a 2-Ohm subwoofer load. The frequency response of the R500-1 allows it to be used exclusively with subwoofers.
- 12dB/octave crossover
- 4 Gauge power/ground connections with built-in ATC fusing
- MOSFET power supply
- RCA pass-thru
Class-AB
An amplifier topology with the best of both worlds; a Class A preamp and Class B output stage.
Class A topologies area great for sound quality but can require alot of current. Class B designs are great for power delivery. Amplifier designs utilizing a Class A/B topology reaps the benefit of great sound quality in the front-end (preamplifier stage) while delivering great power in the output stages (MOSFET drivers).
CEA-2006
Power ratings on Rockford Fosgate amplifiers conform to CEA-2006 industry standards. These guidelines mean your amplifier's output power ratings are REAL POWER numbers, not inflated marketing ratings.
