Rockford Fosgate T1000-4ad Power 1000W 4-Channel Amp
Class-ad Constant Power four-channel car amplifier
$1,099.99
Overview
Drive a full front and rear stage with the Rockford Fosgate T1000-4ad Power Series Class-ad amplifier. Continuous power is 250 watts RMS x 4 at 4 ohms, 2 ohms, or 1 ohm, and 500 watts x 2 when bridged. Constant Power topology holds that rating as impedance drops, with 24 dB/octave crossovers and front/rear Punch EQ. A 150 Amp fuse is required and sold separately.
Product details
1000 watts of Constant Power across four channels
T1000-4ad is built for high-output multi-speaker systems that still need flexible filtering. Rockford rates it 250 W x 4 at 4Ω, 2Ω, and 1Ω, plus 500 W x 2 bridged at 4Ω or 2Ω. Class-ad Constant Power is designed to hold continuous output as the load impedance falls, so dual-coil or multi-driver stages stay fed without collapsing into a lower rating at 2 ohms or 1 ohm.
Steep front and rear filters
Front and rear channels each get high-pass and low-pass crossovers from 50–500 Hz at 24 dB/octave Butterworth. Independent treble and bass tone controls (up to +12 dB at 12 kHz and +18 dB at 45 Hz) track the crossover mode so you can tune each stage. A 2/4-channel input switch and RCA pass-thru simplify signal routing when you add another amplifier for bass.
Electrical and chassis
Plan on 4 AWG power cable and a 150 Amp fuse (not included). Average music current draw is 60 A. An optional remote PEQ overrides the rear-channel built-in Punch EQ when installed. Dimensions are 2.14 x 8.14 x 14.91 inches with convection cooling on the Power Series heat sink.
