Overview
Rockford Fosgate’s Element Ready™ product line, with Marine Grade IPX6 certification, takes into account the effects and elements of the environment and takes measures to ensure lasting rock solid sound performance.
These elements include Dust Resistance, the use of UV Inhibitor Materials like Centrex which is exclusive to Rockford Fosgate when it comes to marine audio manufacturing, Thermal Shock Tests, Stainless Hardware, Water Tests, Corrosion Protection (Speakers and Electronics) and Vibration. Only after rigorous testing can a Rockford Fosgate product pass the Element Ready grading standard.
SPEAKERS
We use high grade UV resistant materials for our speaker housings and
grilles and make sure that they meet or exceed ASTM testing standards.
We also subject them to salt spray (fog) testing to make sure that exposure
to the environment will not cause issues with corrosion, both from a
hardware or electrical connection standpoint.
SOURCE UNIT
Rockford’s PMX series of source units and remotes are fully tested against
UV radiation degradation as well as tested to IPX water and dust intrusion
standards. We also fully test the units for ever-changing environmental
conditions such as temperature extremes, as well as vibration testing
to make sure they can take a bump and keep performing like a Rockford
product should.
