Rugged Refinement
M5-1500X5
The M5 series is the highest performing, most feature rich, water resistant amplifiers we make and they’re purpose built for any and every application.
The 1500-Watt 5-channel M5-1500X5 amplifier features the next level of Element Ready design from Rockford that’s built as rugged as the outdoor environment it’s used in. The IPX6 rating is provided by a water tight seal, featuring splash guards on both ends and heavy-duty molded harnesses with integral sealing gaskets.
Rockford Fosgate amplifiers are known world-wide for producing more power than their ratings suggest. The M5 amplifiers are the first series based on new CTA-2006 industry standard Dynamic Power ratings, bringing their conservative ratings to the forefront. These CTA-2006 guidelines mean your amplifier's output power ratings are REAL POWER numbers, not inflated marketing ratings. This is real dynamic rated power, engineered to perform not only on paper, but performance heard through the musical experience.
Out of the box performance, literally. Featuring a new PRESET switch, designed for use with Rockford Fosgate Motorsport audio kits, eliminates the need to set-up and tune the amp for the best experience possible. Utilizing this amp for a different application? No problem. Just turn off the PRESET to custom tune your system and dial in your own sound.
No matter how hard you push or where you take this amp, it pushes back with powerful output and performance. It never quits and provides the ability to play-all-day, so you and your music can too.
Built on our popular Power Marine series, M5 amplifiers feature the same great technologies like Constant Power, Class-AD/BD and C.L.E.A.N., all engineered, developed, and validated in Tempe, Arizona.

New Dynamic Power & Traditional Continuous Power Ratings
The M5 amplifiers are the first series based on the new industry standard, Dynamic Power ratings, bringing their conservative ratings to the forefront. Engineered from the ground up and purpose-built to deliver more output where you actually hear it (your music). This is real dynamic power that performs not only on paper, but performance heard through the musical experience. You’ll see two amplifier power ratings, the traditional Continuous Power output, and the new Dynamic Power output, both tested in accordance with the CTA-2006 specification.
CTA-2006 Dynamic Power
Dynamic Power is real-world wattage when connected to a speaker load, listening to music
CTA-2006 Continuous (RMS) Power
Continuous (RMS) Power is wattage developed on the test bench for comparison against other amplifiers in the same class
M5-1500X5 Dynamic Power Rating:
- 125W x 4 + 400W x 1 @ 4Ω
- 200W x 4 + 700W x 1 @ 2Ω
- (N/A front/rear) + 700W x 1 @ 1Ω
- 400W x 2 + (N/A sub) @ 4Ω bridged

It is compact and powerful I don’t even dare crank up all my volume. Running 4 - 6.5 inch speakers in the roof and 2 - 10 inch subs. Crystal clear with my side-by-side off and while it is running, no static noises. I know I paid a little extra for this amp above what I was planning, but not disappointed. Quality matters, you get what you pay for in amps/speakers.

Amp works amazingly right out of the box, no adjustments needed, attached cables are long and easy to attach your speakers and subs into.

I knew it was just a matter of time before Fosgate took things up a notch. M5-1500/5, and Real Sub enclosures for HD Baggers. I see a complete overhaul and new division of expert class components for motorcycles very soon. Beyma, Euphoria, Ground Zero and SounDigital must be prepared to step aside. Keep it comin Rockford 💯
