Rockford Fosgate R2-300X4 Prime 300 Watt 4-Channel Class D Amplifier When four speakers need real power without compromise, the R2-300X4 delivers 300 watts of clean, efficient Class D performance engineered by Rockford Fosgate. Product Overview The R2-300X4 is part of Rockford Fosgate's 3rd generation Prime Series, built for car audio enthusiasts who demand reliable, high-performance amplification at an accessible price. Operating as a full-range Class D 4-channel amplifier, it runs at 4 ohm or 2 ohm stereo and 4 ohm bridged/mono, giving it the flexibility to drive front and rear speaker pairs or reconfigure as a 3-channel or 2-channel setup. Class D topology maximises efficiency and reduces the electrical load on the vehicle's charging system, while MEHSA 4 (Maximum Efficiency Heat Sink Application) actively reduces MOSFET temperatures, lowers distortion, and prolongs output device lifespan. The top-mounted control panel provides independent front and rear controls within easy reach, and CTA-2006 compliant power ratings confirm that the 300W output is a real, tested figure. Designed and engineered in Tempe, Arizona, the R2-300X4 is built by fanatics, for fanatics. Features & Benefits C.L.E.A.N. Technology (Patent 8,712,066): Rockford Fosgate's patented Calibrated Level Eliminates Audible Noise circuit uses dedicated input and output clip LEDs (C.L.E.A.N. IN Red, C.L.E.A.N. OUT Blue/Red for both front and rear) to accurately match the source unit's output to the amplifier's input sensitivity, eliminating guesswork and reducing distortion at the source. P.O.W.E.R. Supply: Onboard power supply design that continues to generate output above the rated RMS figure as vehicle voltage increases, so real-world performance scales beyond the spec sheet across the 9-16V operating range. MEHSA 4 (Maximum Efficiency Heat Sink Application): An advanced thermal management system that reduces MOSFET operating temperatures, lowers distortion levels, increases overall durability, and extends the lifespan of output devices under sustained use. NOMAD Protection: A real-time analogue computer that continuously monitors the amplifier's outputs and protects against shorting speaker wires and dangerously low speaker impedances, providing active fault management rather than passive fusing alone. Balanced Differential Inputs: Differential input topology eliminates noise picked up by signal cables between the source unit and amplifier, delivering a cleaner signal into the amplifier stage. Fully Adjustable Butterworth Crossovers: Independent front and rear 12 dB/octave High-Pass and Low-Pass crossovers, continuously variable from 50 to 250 Hz, with an All-Pass option per channel for full-range output when no filtering is needed. High Level Input Capable: Accepts both low-level RCA (150mV-4V) and high-level speaker signals (450mV-12V) through a 2/4 Channel Input Selection Switch, making integration with factory head units straightforward. Auto-Sense RAP Bypass: Auto-Sense bypass switch supports vehicles with Retained Accessory Power (RAP), allowing the amplifier to power on and off correctly using speaker-level signal detection without requiring a dedicated remote turn-on wire. RCA Pass-Through Outputs: 2-channel RCA pass-through remains active with both RCA and high-level inputs, allowing downstream amplifiers to be added without splitting cables at the head unit. CTA-2006 and CE Compliant: All power ratings verified at 14.4V with 1% or less THD to CTA-2006 industry standards, with no inflated peak figures used anywhere in the specifications.

For systems requiring low-end support, the rear channels bridge cleanly to drive a single Prime R1 subwoofer such as the R1S410 or R1S412, with the rear crossover set to Low-Pass. A 4-gauge amplifier wiring kit is required for power and ground runs, and 8-gauge cable is needed for speaker outputs. A quality 4-channel RCA interconnect is recommended for clean signal transfer from the head unit. Frequently Asked Questions Can the R2-300X4 be used to power both speakers and a subwoofer in the same system? Yes. The R2-300X4 supports 3-channel configuration, where the front channels power a pair of full-range speakers and the rear channels are bridged to drive a single subwoofer. Setting the rear crossover to Low-Pass rolls off high frequencies to the sub. The minimum impedance of any bridged channel is 4 ohms, so confirm subwoofer impedance before bridging. Does the R2-300X4 require a remote turn-on wire? When using RCA inputs, a remote turn-on wire must be connected to the head unit's remote output. When using high-level speaker inputs, the Auto-Sense bypass switch can be enabled to allow the amplifier to detect an incoming signal and power on automatically, making it compatible with factory head units and systems that lack a dedicated remote output, including those with Retained Accessory Power (RAP). What does the NOMAD protection system do? NOMAD is a real-time analogue computer built into the R2-300X4 that continuously monitors the amplifier's speaker outputs. It protects the amplifier from damage caused by shorted speaker wires and dangerously low speaker impedances, providing active, dynamic protection rather than relying solely on a fuse. What gauge power, ground, and speaker wire does the R2-300X4 require? Rockford Fosgate specifies 4 AWG for power and ground runs using the included compression terminal block connectors. Speaker output connections use 8 AWG wire. The recommended 60A fuse is not included in the box and must be sourced separately, installed as close to the battery as possible. Can the R2-300X4 be bridged into a 2-ohm load for maximum power? No. When bridging the R2-300X4, the minimum supported impedance per bridged output is 4 ohms. Running a bridged channel into a 2-ohm load is not supported and risks amplifier failure or NOMAD-triggered protection shutdown. In standard stereo mode, the minimum impedance per channel is 2 ohms.Legendary Products & Support From Authorized Dealers When you choose Frankies BrandBeast, you're choosing quality and performance.

The R2-500X4 is a 4-channel full-range amplifier rated at 125W x 4 at 2-ohm with no dedicated subwoofer channel, no Punch EQ, and no remote level control. The R2-750X5 is a 5-channel amplifier rated at 100W x 4 plus 350W subwoofer at 2-ohm, adding a dedicated subwoofer channel with Punch EQ, infrasonic filter, RLC remote level control, and a 2/4/5 channel input switch. Choose the R2-500X4 for a pure 4-channel speaker amplifier and pair it with the R2-750X1 for subwoofer duty; choose the R2-750X5 for a single-unit 5-channel solution. Can I add a subwoofer amplifier to a system using the R2-500X4? Yes. The R2-500X4 includes RCA pass-through outputs that are active with both RCA and high-level input, allowing a distortion-free signal to be passed to a downstream mono subwoofer amplifier such as the R2-750X1. The two amplifiers chain together cleanly for a complete 4-channel speaker plus mono subwoofer car audio system. What does the 2/4 channel input selection switch do? The input selection switch configures the R2-500X4 to accept either a 2-channel or 4-channel input from the source unit, working for both RCA and high-level connections. In 2-channel mode, the single stereo RCA pair feeds all four channels internally. In 4-channel mode, separate front and rear RCA pairs are used for independent left/right front and rear channel control. What fuse does the R2-500X4 require and is it included? The R2-500X4 requires an 80A fuse, which is not included and must be sourced separately. This is smaller than the 120A fuse required by the R2-750X5 and R2-750X1, reflecting the R2-500X4's lower maximum current draw of 59A. Install the fuse as close to the battery as possible in the 4 AWG power supply line. Does the R2-500X4 need a dedicated remote turn-on wire? Not necessarily. Auto-Sense activates the amplifier automatically when a high-level speaker signal is detected at the input, removing the need for a separate remote wire in OEM integration scenarios. A RAP bypass switch is included for vehicles where the source unit continues to output a signal after the ignition is switched off.Legendary Products & Support From Authorized Dealers When you choose Frankies BrandBeast, you're choosing quality and performance.

Rockford Fosgate R2-200X2 Prime 200 Watt 2-Channel Class D Amplifier When two channels need real power without compromise, the R2-200X2 delivers 200 watts of clean, efficient Class D performance engineered by Rockford Fosgate. Product Overview The R2-200X2 is part of Rockford Fosgate's 3rd generation Prime Series, built for car audio enthusiasts who demand reliable, high-performance amplification at an accessible price. Operating as a full-range Class D 2-channel amplifier, it runs at 4 ohm or 2 ohm stereo and 4 ohm bridged/mono, giving it the flexibility to drive a front speaker pair in stereo or bridge down to a single channel to power a subwoofer. Class D topology maximises efficiency and reduces the electrical load on the vehicle's charging system, while MEHSA 4 (Maximum Efficiency Heat Sink Application) actively reduces MOSFET temperatures, lowers distortion, and prolongs output device lifespan. The top-mounted control panel keeps all adjustments within easy reach, and CTA-2006 compliant power ratings confirm that the 200W output is a real, tested figure. Designed and engineered in Tempe, Arizona, the R2-200X2 is built by fanatics, for fanatics. Features & Benefits C.L.E.A.N. Technology (Patent 8,712,066): Rockford Fosgate's patented Calibrated Level Eliminates Audible Noise circuit uses dedicated input and output clip LEDs (C.L.E.A.N. IN Red, C.L.E.A.N. OUT Blue/Red) to accurately match the source unit's output to the amplifier's input sensitivity, eliminating guesswork and reducing distortion at the source. P.O.W.E.R. Supply: Onboard power supply design that continues to generate output above the rated RMS figure as vehicle voltage increases, so real-world performance scales beyond the spec sheet across the 9-16V operating range. MEHSA 4 (Maximum Efficiency Heat Sink Application): Advanced thermal management system that reduces MOSFET operating temperatures, lowers distortion levels, increases overall durability, and extends the lifespan of output devices under sustained use. NOMAD Protection: A real-time analogue computer that continuously monitors the amplifier's outputs and protects against shorting speaker wires and dangerously low speaker impedances, providing active fault management rather than passive fusing alone. Balanced Differential Inputs: Differential input topology eliminates noise picked up by signal cables between the source unit and amplifier, delivering a cleaner signal into the amplifier stage. Fully Adjustable Butterworth Crossovers: 12 dB/octave High-Pass and Low-Pass crossovers, continuously variable from 50 to 250 Hz, with an All-Pass option for full-range output when no filtering is needed. High Level Input Capable: Accepts both low-level RCA (150mV-4V) and high-level speaker signals (450mV-12V), making integration with factory head units straightforward. Auto-Sense RAP Bypass: Auto-Sense bypass switch supports vehicles with Retained Accessory Power (RAP), allowing the amplifier to power on and off correctly using speaker-level signal detection without requiring a dedicated remote turn-on wire. RCA Pass-Through Outputs: 2-channel RCA pass-through remains active with both RCA and high-level inputs, allowing a downstream amplifier to be added without splitting cables at the head unit. CTA-2006 and CE Compliant: All power ratings verified at 14.4V with 1% or less THD to CTA-2006 industry standards, with no inflated peak figures used anywhere in the specifications.

When bridged to mono at 4 ohms, it can also serve as a dedicated subwoofer channel, making it a compact single-amplifier solution for smaller builds. For systems requiring both speaker and dedicated subwoofer amplification, the R2-200X2 pairs directly with the R2-250X1 monoblock using the onboard RCA pass-through. A 4-gauge amplifier wiring kit is required for power and ground runs, and 8-gauge cable is needed for speaker outputs. Frequently Asked Questions Can the R2-200X2 power both front speakers and a subwoofer at the same time? Not simultaneously through both channels. In stereo mode, the R2-200X2 powers two speakers independently. When bridged to mono, it delivers 200 watts into a single 4-ohm load, suitable for a subwoofer, but the stereo channels are no longer available in that configuration. For a system requiring both speaker and subwoofer amplification, pairing the R2-200X2 with a dedicated monoblock such as the R2-250X1 is the recommended approach. Does the R2-200X2 require a remote turn-on wire? When using RCA inputs, a remote turn-on wire must be connected to the head unit's remote output. When using high-level speaker inputs, the Auto-Sense bypass switch can be enabled to allow the amplifier to detect an incoming signal and power on automatically, making it compatible with factory head units and systems that lack a dedicated remote output, including those with Retained Accessory Power (RAP). What does the NOMAD protection system do? NOMAD is a real-time analogue computer built into the R2-200X2 that continuously monitors the amplifier's speaker outputs. It protects the amplifier from damage caused by shorted speaker wires and dangerously low speaker impedances, providing active, dynamic protection rather than relying solely on a fuse. What gauge power, ground, and speaker wire does the R2-200X2 require? Rockford Fosgate specifies 4 AWG for power and ground runs using the onboard compression terminal block connectors. Speaker output connections require 8 AWG wire. The recommended 30A fuse is not included in the box and must be sourced separately, installed as close to the battery as possible. Can the R2-200X2 be bridged into a 2-ohm load for maximum power? No. When bridging the R2-200X2, the minimum supported impedance is 4 ohms. Running a bridged output into a 2-ohm load is not supported and risks amplifier failure or NOMAD-triggered protection shutdown. In standard stereo mode, the minimum impedance per channel is 2 ohms.

Weight 2.18kg (4.8 lbs) Frequently Asked Questions What's the difference between the XDM500/3 and running separate 2-channel and monoblock amplifiers?The XDM500/3 consolidates two satellite speakers plus subwoofer amplification into a single chassis, reducing installation complexity, wiring runs, equipment bay space requirements, and power distribution connections. The integrated design simplifies tuning with coordinated controls in one location rather than accessing multiple amplifiers mounted in different areas. What is advanced rollback protection and how does it work?Unlike traditional thermal protection that abruptly shuts down the amplifier when overheating, advanced rollback protection intelligently reduces output gradually when approaching thermal limits. This keeps the music playing continuously—albeit at slightly reduced levels—rather than experiencing frustrating shutdowns during extended high-output sessions at anchor, beach parties, or camping scenarios. How does the NexD technology benefit my electrical system?NexD™ high-speed switching achieves over 80% efficiency, meaning less current draw from your battery and alternator compared to conventional amplifiers producing the same power. This reduces strain on your electrical system, minimizes heat generation requiring cooling, and extends battery runtime during engine-off listening—critical for marine applications and remote camping scenarios. Which automatic turn-on mode should I use?Use signal sensing for most aftermarket head units (detects audio on RCA inputs), DC-offset sensing for many factory systems (detects DC voltage from source unit output), or conventional +12V remote for guaranteed compatibility with any source unit providing remote turn-on output. Try signal or DC-offset modes first to eliminate remote wire runs in complex installations. Is this amplifier suitable for saltwater marine environments?Yes. The all-aluminum powder-coated housing resists corrosion, and the sealed security cover protects controls and circuitry from salt spray and moisture. However, mount away from direct water streams, bilge flooding, or areas subject to washdown. Pair with marine-grade wiring and heat-shrink connections for long-term reliability in coastal conditions.Legendary Products & Support From Authorized Dealers When you choose Frankies BrandBeast, you're choosing quality and performance.

Bridge adjacent channel pairs (1+2, 3+4, 5+6, 7+8) for 200W RMS per bridged pair at 4Ω load. This provides four bridged outputs at 200W each, ideal for marine tower speakers or compact subwoofers. Ensure speakers are rated for 4Ω minimum impedance when bridging. What size alternator do I need to run all eight channels at full power?Minimum 100A alternator for sustained full-power operation. At maximum output (800W), the amplifier draws approximately 80A from the electrical system. Factor in other electrical loads (navigation, pumps, lights) and ensure your alternator provides adequate reserve capacity. Undersized alternators cause voltage drop and thermal protection shutdown. Can I use this in a 4WD touring setup with multiple speaker zones?Yes, perfect application. Allocate channels for front cabin, rear cargo area, rooftop speakers, and annexe zones. The 12V operation suits dual-battery systems with proper isolation. Mount in cargo area or under seats with adequate ventilation. Consider auxiliary battery for extended camping scenarios with engine-off listening. How do I set up independent zone control for different areas?Use channels 1&2 for Zone 1 (cabin), 3&4 for Zone 2 (cockpit/tower), 5&6 for Zone 3 (rear/cargo), and 7&8 for Zone 4 (additional zone or bridged subwoofer). The optional HD-RLC remote controls master volume. For true zone-independent control, install separate zone controllers or use a DSP with zone management feeding the amplifier.Legendary Products & Support From Authorized Dealers When you choose Frankies BrandBeast, you're choosing quality and performance.
