Rockford Fosgate is launching a new line of TMA Adaptive amplifiers at the 2026 SEMA Show. The company is also showing a new Rockford Fosgate app, an upgraded RF Link 2.0 network, and its first speakers built for RVs.
The TMA series includes four models. The TMA-600X4 is rated at 600 watts, the TMA-750X6 at 750 watts, the TMA-1000X1 at 1,000 watts, and the TMA-1200X5 at 1,200 watts. Rockford Fosgate said the line has the highest power to size ratio it has ever offered.
The amps are full range Class AD designs with a built in DSP, Bluetooth and RF Link 2.0 support. The six channel and mono amps share the same footprint. The four channel is slightly smaller, and the five channel is slightly larger.
“We’re building a connected Rockford Fosgate ecosystem that redefines how customers experience audio,” said Zach Luke, president of Rockford Fosgate.
Built to Keep Water Out
The amps are hermetically sealed and use the company’s IPX7 rated Element Ready construction. Derek Schmiedl, of Rockford Fosgate, said the amps will keep playing about a meter underwater. Dielectric grease comes inside the seal. Rockford Fosgate said the amps are made for car audio, marine, powersports and custom installs.
RF Link 2.0 Network
RF Link 2.0 runs on CAN FD, so the amps and other devices talk to each other over one fast network. It can connect up to 16 devices, including up to four TMA amps. RF Link cables carry data, power, ground and turn on signals between devices for setup and control. Each amp still needs its own signal, power and ground wires. The cables come in lengths from 1 foot to 50 feet.
The first amp in the chain turns on through DC offset or signal sense. It then passes the turn on signal to every other amp on the network.
When an installer opens the app, it connects to the first amp and lists every device on the network. It then checks whether the network is healthy. If one amp shows 7.2 volts while the others show 12.6 volts, the app flags that amp by serial number.
“The system identifies issues before they become problems for predictable performance,” Schmiedl said. “This takes the guesswork out of diagnostics, giving users a clear picture of system health.”
Rockford Fosgate App
The Rockford Fosgate app is available for iOS and Android. It connects to the RF Link 2.0 network through one Bluetooth Low Energy connection. Users do not need an account for setup or tuning.
The app walks users through C.L.E.A.N. 2.0 calibration step by step. Rockford Fosgate’s original C.L.E.A.N. setup used analog controls. The new version is digital. The user plays a test track and turns up the radio volume. The amp finds the radio’s clipping point and will not go past it.
For vehicle specific systems, users can pick a Load + Go tune instead. Schmiedl showed a four seat Can-Am Maverick R. The user selects the vehicle, hits “load preset” and the tune is done. Installers can still build off the tune.
For custom tuning, users set channels first, then crossovers. The app offers low pass, band pass and high pass filters with Butterworth and Linkwitz-Riley alignments. Slopes range from 6 dB to 48 dB per octave. Crossover points can be set to any frequency. Time alignment can be entered in inches or centimeters, and the app shows the delay in milliseconds.
Each channel gets a 32 band parametric EQ. Users can link or unlink channels, such as front left and front right. The app also controls gain, Punch EQ+, saved presets, a four digit PIN lock and firmware updates.
Stored Faults
The amps store faults with a date and time. Schmiedl said this helps dealers with warranty claims and troubleshooting. If a customer says the system keeps shutting off, the shop can see the amp dropped to 6.5 volts, or jumped to 21 volts. That points to the charging system or battery. The app can also report a short on a single channel.
“The amp is telling you what is going on and what’s wrong with the system,” Schmiedl said.
Power Ratings
The amps use DSP to control thermal rollback and the company’s patented Constant Power 2.0. Schmiedl said Rockford Fosgate rates the amps at 4 ohms under CTA-2016 standards. The amps put out at least their rated power at 4 ohms. “Rockford Fosgate continues its legacy of exceeding published specifications,” he said.
Stop Start Ready
The TMA amps work with stop/start systems. Schmiedl said voltage can drop to 8 volts when a starter engages. The amps hold up to 8 volts for about six seconds and play up to 18 volts. He said that suits vehicles with higher voltage systems, such as Teslas that run around 16 volts. Tesla owners should add a higher capacity 12V battery because of the amps’ current draw.
DRLC-10 Remote
The new DRLC-10 Digital Remote Level Controller has a 40 step rotary knob, RGB lighting that users can change and several mounting options. Users assign each knob in the app as a Sub Level control, Punch EQ control or Master Volume. A system can have several knobs doing different jobs.
For example, a boat can have two knobs, each in a different place. Once the installer identifies each knob in the app, the selected knob flashes blue, so the installer knows which one to assign the selected configuration.
Adventure Series RV Speakers
The Adventure Series marks Rockford Fosgate’s first line of speakers made for RVs. The 6.5 inch speakers come in black or white and fit both 5.25 inch and 6.5 inch openings. Mounting depth is 1.25 inches.
Each speaker pairs a 6.5 inch woofer with a 1 inch tweeter built into the grille and a hidden crossover. The speakers are rated at 50 watts RMS. They use a UV stable frame and grille, a Santoprene surround, and Element Ready construction.
