Rockford Fosgate P500X1bd 500 Watt Mono Channel Class BD Car Amplifier:
Features:
- 500 Watt Punch Series Mono Class BD Car Amplifier
- MOSFET power supply for incredible power
- LED indicators: Power, Protect, and Thermal
- Balanced Differential inputs - filters and eliminates noise picked up from the RCA signal cables as they are run through the vehicle
- C.L.E.A.N circuit that allows you to properly optimize input signal to output capability for proper signal to noise ratio and prevent damaging distortion
- MEHSA3 utilizes a proprietary process that yields up to five times better heat transfer than traditional FET mounting techniques that lowers distortion, increases durability and prolongs the output device life span
- DSM - An industry-leading manufacturing process, DSM utilizes high-speed robotics, high-quality 1% tight-tolerance parts and large board traces which improves efficiency of the circuit, decreases cross-talk from other discrete components and lowers operating temperature
- NOMAD is a "real time" analog computer that protects your amplifier from shorting speaker wires and dangerously low speaker impedances
- Provides two way protection circuitry, which includes overload and speaker short protection
- Integrated heavy-duty aluminum alloy vented heat sink for utmost heat dissipation
- Requires minimum 4 gauge power and ground wiring for installation

Car amplifier installation
We show you the complete process of installing a Pioneer Double DIN car stereo in a Chevy truck. The in-depth video shows the installation of the interface, and steering wheel control.
Amplifier Installation basics
Let's start with the basics of adding or installing a car amplifier. First you will need to plan your installation and power wiring, this usually is the most difficult part of the installation for most.
How to choose the proper wire size explained
What size power wire do I need for my amplifier? Well, that depends on the length of the wire and the power consumption of the amplifier. We walk you through how to choose the right gauge wire and wire material depending on your amplifier installation requirements.
How to wire speakers and subwoofers to your new amplifier
In our third video we demonstrate the various ways you can wire speakers and amplifiers to all types of amplifiers. There different ways to do this depending on the type of amplifier you choose to purchase.
What is gain? How do I set it properly?
In our fourth video we demonstrate how to set the gains on your amplifier to prevent damage to your speakers, subwoofers and even possibly your new amplifier. Using a portable oscilloscope we show you how to set your gains.
