Rockford Fosgate Marine PM1000x1BD - Mono-Block digital

PM1000X1bd - Punch Marine 1000 watt class-bd mono amplifier

The PM1000X1bd is a 1000 watt mono amplifier with high dynamic performance using class bd technology and a conformally coated circuit board for motorsport and marine applications.

With its super-efficient Class BD circuit topology, the PM1000X1bd guarantees maximum BOOM for your money! Due to its special low frequency response, this amplifier is only optimized for mid-bass speakers or subwoofers. Don't worry, as the 1-ohm capability will drive a pair of 4-ohm DVC subwoofers or the quad configuration of 2-ohm DVC subwoofers with ease.
