RF Connect is the Rockford Fosgate smartphone application for iOS and Android that provides native control of the PMX-1 including volume, source, EQ, crossover, and tuner functions from a paired smartphone. It connects via Bluetooth - no additional hardware is required beyond the Bluetooth pairing used for audio streaming. Can the PMX-1 power speakers directly without a separate amplifier? Yes. The PMX-1 has a built-in amplifier rated at 25W x 4 at 4-ohm RMS (CEA-2006), which is sufficient to power marine speakers directly in smaller installations. For higher output applications, the PMX-1's RCA outputs (2V) can be used to connect an external marine amplifier such as the M5-800X4 for significantly more power and headroom. Is the PMX-BTUR steering wheel remote included? No. The PMX-BTUR steering wheel remote is sold separately and is listed as a compatible accessory. The PMX-1 does not include a remote control in the box.Legendary Products & Support From Authorized Dealers When you choose Frankies BrandBeast, you're choosing quality and performance.

Serious Bass. Compact Package. Built to Survive the Elements. The Rockford Fosgate PM500X1bd is a 500 Watt Class-BD mono amplifier engineered for marine, motorsport, and powersports environments where dedicated subwoofer power and genuine weather protection are the brief. Delivering 150W x 1 at 4 ohms, 300W x 1 at 2 ohms, and a full 500W x 1 at 1 ohm, it sits in the sweet spot of the Punch Marine mono range more than enough to drive a serious subwoofer setup without the electrical demands or physical footprint of a kilowatt-class amp. Like its bigger sibling the PM1000X1bd, the PM500X1bd runs Rockford Fosgate's Class-BD circuit topology, achieving 75–80% power efficiency compared to the 20–60% typical of Class A/B designs. That means cleaner bass, less heat generated per watt, and reduced strain on your boat or vehicle's electrical system. Its 1-ohm stability lets you run two 4-ohm DVC subwoofers or four 2-ohm DVC subs without any complex impedance gymnastics, and its frequency response is locked between 20 Hz and 250 Hz every watt is dedicated to the low end where it matters most. Rockford Fosgate's Element Ready™ construction marine-grade two-part epoxy conformal-coated PCB and corrosion-resistant stainless steel hardware keeps it performing reliably through saltwater, humidity, outback dust, and relentless Australian UV. Key Specifications 500W total power output (CTA-2006 compliant) 150W x 1 at 4 ohms | 300W x 1 at 2 ohms | 500W x 1 at 1 ohm Class-BD circuit topology 75–80% efficiency rating 1-ohm stable monoblock; dedicated low-frequency output only Frequency response: 20 Hz – 250 Hz THD+N: Less than 1% Input sensitivity: 150mV – 12V (low- and high-level) Low-pass crossover: 50 Hz – 250 Hz @ 12 dB/octave Butterworth Infrasonic filter: 28 Hz @ 12 dB/octave Butterworth All-Pass: No (low-frequency only) On-board Punch EQ: Bass +0 to +18 dB @ 45 Hz RCA pass-through outputs Optional remote Punch Level Control (PLC2) compatible Marine-grade two-part epoxy conformal coating on PCB Marine-grade stainless steel hardware Element Ready™: Dust, UV, Temperature, Water, Corrosion & Vibration rated Max current draw: 70A at 13.8V sinewave 2-year manufacturer warranty Features & Benefits Class-BD Technology More Bass, Less Current Draw The PM500X1bd's Class-BD circuit delivers 75–80% power efficiency, compared to 20–60% for Class A/B. At 500W, this translates directly into less heat generated inside sealed installations, reduced load on your battery and alternator, and a longer, more reliable lifespan for the amp and your electrical system particularly valuable for boats and UTVs with limited charging headroom. 1-Ohm Stable Flexible Multi-Sub Wiring Run two 4-ohm DVC subwoofers with voice coils wired in parallel (final load: 1 ohm), or four 2-ohm DVC subs in series-parallel (final load: 1 ohm). The PM500X1bd handles either configuration with ease no voltage drop, no thermal runaway, no compromise on output. Dedicated Low-Frequency Response Focused Power With a frequency response of 20 Hz to 250 Hz and no all-pass mode, the PM500X1bd routes every watt directly to the bass band. For subwoofer-only or mid-bass applications this is a significant advantage no wasted amplifier headroom on frequencies your sub can't reproduce. Infrasonic Filter at 28 Hz Built-In Sub Protection The onboard 28 Hz infrasonic filter rolls off subsonic frequencies at 12 dB/octave, protecting subwoofer cones from over-excursion caused by ultra-low frequency content hull resonance, port noise, or corrupted audio files. Essential for vented enclosures and high-excursion subs used in open-air marine environments on Aussie waterways. Marine-Grade Element Ready™ Construction Two-part epoxy conformal-coated circuit boards and corrosion-resistant stainless steel hardware provide full protection against saltwater spray, humidity, UV radiation, and mechanical vibration.

For maximum 500W output at 1 ohm, wire two 4-ohm DVC subwoofers with each voice coil pair connected in parallel for a final 1-ohm load. Alternatively, four 2-ohm DVC subwoofers in series-parallel also achieve a 1-ohm final load. Always verify total impedance before powering on. Can the PM500X1bd power full-range speakers? No. The PM500X1bd has a dedicated low-frequency response of 20 Hz to 250 Hz with no all-pass mode it is designed exclusively for subwoofers and mid-bass drivers. For full-range speakers, pair it with a Rockford Fosgate PM400X4 or PM300X2 using the onboard RCA pass-through outputs. How does the PM500X1bd differ from the PM1000X1bd? Both use Class-BD topology and identical marine-grade construction, but the PM500X1bd delivers 500W at 1 ohm versus 1,000W for the PM1000X1bd. The PM500X1bd draws 70A maximum versus 130A, making it a better fit for systems with tighter electrical budgets particularly boats and UTVs with standard alternators. Choose the PM1000X1bd for maximum output in larger, purpose-built subwoofer enclosures. Does the infrasonic filter need to be enabled manually? The infrasonic filter operates at 28 Hz and is a fixed circuit within the amplifier it provides constant protection against damaging subsonic frequencies without requiring any manual adjustment. It is particularly important for vented subwoofer enclosures that are more susceptible to over-excursion below the port tuning frequency. What warranty applies to the PM500X1bd in Australia? The PM500X1bd carries a 2-year manufacturer warranty.
