Rockford Fosgate R-Tune technology icon

R-Tune™ Technology

Equalization is specific to the motorcycle environment, designed from the ground up to be stronger and louder, to overcome road rumble and wind noise. Left and right speakers are designed to project sound directly at the rider for an enhanced audio experience.

Rockford Fosgate M-DEQ technology icon

M-DEQ™ Technology

(Motorcycle Dynamic EQ) Our smart amplifier adaptively changes the EQ points in real time, meaning the tune changes to ensure incredible sound quality no matter the motorcycle speed or riding conditions.

Rockford Fosgate BME technology icon

BME Technology

(Bass Management Enhancement) Designed to produce more bass, no matter the volume. The active amplifier DSP continually adapts to speed and road noise and maximizes the speakers’ bass output to create powerful bass at any volume or speed.

IDHS™ (Inductive Damping Heat Sink)

The speaker fins push heat away from the voice coils to reduce speaker temperature and distortion to produce the clearest-possible audio.

Bridge Mounted Design

The offset Midrange and Tweeter speaker design eliminates acoustic reflection and maximizes audio output. The specific left and right Midrange and Tweeters are also aligned for optimal riding position, making sure the audio is always directed in the proper location, giving the best on-road audio experience.

Full Range Class-D Technology

More power and less electrical fatigue. These high-efficiency amplifiers produce class leading power and don’t over-draw on the motorcycle electrical system.

ICC+

The Integrated Concealed Crossover boasts a hyper-efficient design and produces the clarity and output usually only found in traditional component speaker set-ups, plus the design allows for a quicker install.

Vibration-Tested

Tested and then re-tested to ensure supreme durability. These speakers have endured extreme conditions and then vibration validation all to make sure they stand the test of time.
