Rockford Corp. has announced the retirement of industry veteran Howard Miller. Miller and his wife, Sharon, founded Crimestopper in 1980, and Miller joined Rockford as a consultant after Rockford acquired Crimestopper in 2014. Miller will remain with Rockford until June 30.

“Howard has built hundreds of business relationships and developed deep friendships throughout his long tenure in the industry,” said Rockford Corporation President and CEO Bill Jackson. “He is known as a field intensive guy and a person who has a work ethic that is second to none. He is one of those iconic people in the industry that basically everyone knows and everyone likes because of his personality and professionalism.”

For 35 years in the North American market, Crimestopper, Inc. has been an industry leader in 12 Volt aftermarket electronics and has become a one-stop-shop for total vehicle security and safety needs. Over the past decade, the company has been recognized for offering the widest selection of vehicle security and remote start systems in the marketplace. It has also expanded its product line to include GPS tracking systems and a wide variety of vehicle safety products such as cameras, monitors, wireless video systems, collision avoidance and parking sensor systems, DVR systems, and tire pressure monitoring systems.

“It’s been quite a ride,” said Miller. “Sharon and I started Crimestopper with humble beginnings with quite literally nothing, and built it up to one of the most respected brands in the industry over the past four decades. There are too many people to recognize for helping us along the way, but we do thank each and every one of them. And now, seeing what Rockford is putting into the business allows me to retire knowing Crimestopper is in good hands.”

Jackson concluded, “We are sad to see Howard leave the organization. He has been a great partner and has built a fabulous reputation in the industry. I am sure Howard is looking forward to improving his golf handicap and relaxing. We wish nothing but the best for the Millers and look forward to carrying on their legacy by continuing to build the Crimestopper brand.”

Rockford Fosgate is now shipping its new lineup of DEADSKIN sound dampening products. 

"The DEADSKIN line was announced with great success at our recent Annual Product Showcase to rave reviews,” said Jake Braaten, Rockford’s V.P. of Product Development & Engineering. “In the world of audio, noise is one of the biggest enemies we face. The Rockford product team designed the DEADSKIN line in partnership with the experts at Hushmat to reduce the everyday noise and vibration encountered in vehicles.”

DEADSKIN products include trunk, door, speaker and bulk kits as well as a license plate kit with laser-etched stainless steel license plate frame. With a material thickness just under 1/8-inch (1.5mm), DEADSKIN is designed to be applied to most surfaces with little or no preparation. It is also highly flexible and cold formable to irregular surfaces so no heat guns are required to install the products and comes with a black foil backing.

“Ambient noise detracts from our ability to enjoy our music and often requires us to turn up the volume just to hear it,” Braaten continued. “This in turn leads to listening fatigue and stress which is not how we want to spend our time in our vehicles. Whether from basic road noise or vibration created from heavy bass beats, DEADSKIN products reduce the resonating abilities of your vehicle panels allowing you to truly appreciate your music library the way it should be heard.”

DEADSKIN products are OEM specified and approved, and are manufactured in the USA. With a variety of kits available, Rockford has the sound damping material needed to do the job. Price range for the DEADSKIN line is $25.99 - $278.99. Contact Rockford Fosgate for individual kit pricing.

“Hushmat is a pioneer in the category of sound damping materials, and so they are the perfect company to help us develop our new offering of DEADSKIN products,” added Bill Jackson, Rockford president & CEO. “Rockford Fosgate is always about offering the best quality products to our customers, and this new line of DEADSKIN delivers on that promise. With a complete line that fits each application, we think our customers will be excited to pair new DEADSKIN products with their speaker and subwoofer purchases.”

Rockford Fosgate, Official Audio Sponsor of Sturgis® Motorcycle Rally™ 2017, Announces August Availability of Motorcycle Bag Lid Audio Kits Designed for Harley Davidson® Models 2014-Present

TEMPE, Ariz. – July 11, 2017 – Rockford Fosgate has announced for the fourth consecutive year that it will be the official motorcycle audio sponsor of the famed Sturgis® Motorcycle Rally™ 2017. Rockford Fosgate is proud to bring high performance motorcycle audio systems, including a new line of bag lid audio kits, to the crowds of enthusiasts on Lazelle Street in downtown Sturgis, S.D. during the 77th annual event from August 4-12.

“As in prior years, Rockford Fosgate will showcase bike builds, interactive displays, and lots of great music at our booth,” said Bill Jackson, Rockford CEO and president. “This year, Rockford will also use our Sturgis experience as a launch pad for a new line of bag lid audio solutions designed for Harley Davidson® 2014 and newer bikes that will be available to consumers beginning in August.”

As motorcyclists from across the nation converge on Sturgis, the team at Rockford Fosgate is revved up and ready to demonstrate sound systems purpose-built for the motorcycle environment. Bikers will be able to hear front audio systems and the all new bag lid speaker solutions installed in a variety of Harley Davidson® motorcycles. 

According to Rockford, the all new bag lid speaker kits (TMS69BL14: $499.99) designed for Harley-Davidson® motorcycles are easy to install and are designed to mount into the existing factory lids. They deliver a cranked up output that is crystal clear no matter how loud the ride. The kits feature a lightweight speaker frame, are waterproof, and include an easy-to-follow cutting template with a mounting system that makes the installation into factory bag lids seamless.

In addition to the kits, Rockford will also offer Element Ready 6 x 9-inch replacement speakers (TMS69: $299.99) that are lightweight, waterproof, and powerful enough to perform in the motorcycle environment.

“With the addition of the bag lid speaker kits, motorcyclists can now enjoy a complete sound solution from Rockford Fosgate,” Jackson continued. “You can pair the bag lid kit with a Rockford Fosgate front audio kit in 2014 or newer Harley Davidson® motorcycles. This makes a complete sound system because the front audio kit includes a 400 watt, 4-channel amplifier. Two channels power the front audio kit and two channels deliver power to the bag lids. You just need to run the speaker wire harness from the amp to the bags and turn up your music!”

According to Jackson, anyone who loves riding on the open road knows how harsh the elements can be, whether it be road noise, dirt, dust, moisture, and even temperature. “To that end, we have further developed element-ready amplifiers, speakers, and installation accessories that are specifically designed to fit on a motorcycle, but powerful and durable enough to deliver our acclaimed sonic signature while withstanding the torture of such a tight and demanding environment.”

Later this year Rockford will begin shipping bag lid audio kits designed for Harley Davidson® motorcycles model years 1998 – 2013 (TMS69BL9813: $499.99).

Since 1938, the Sturgis® Motorcycle Rally™ has grown to become one of the largest motorcycle rallies in the world.

Rockford Fosgate will also sponsor the “15th Annual Mayor’s Ride,” held during the rally.

DSR1 Joins the 3Sixty Family of Digital Signal Processors; Includes iDataLink Maestro Technology for Integration of Factory Equipped Controls

TEMPE, Ariz. – Sept. 19, 2017 – Rockford Fosgate (www.rockfordfosgate.com) has announced that the new DSR1 Digital Signal Processor is now available. With an MSRP of $249.99, the DSR1 was co-developed with ADS using their iDatalink Maestro interface technology, combining a full-featured 3Sixty digital signal processor with a flashable iDatalink Maestro integration module.

“The DSR1 allows for a seamless upgrade to aftermarket amplifiers, speakers, and subwoofers in most vehicles,” explained Jake Braaten, Rockford’s V.P. of Product Development & Engineering. “It can accept a quick flash download to add vehicle specific firmware to the unit enabling integration without the loss of factory equipped controls and features in vehicles that require it.”

The DSR1 utilizes the power processor found in Rockford’s patented 3Sixty.3 for features such as adjustable crossovers with selectable slope and crossover type, time alignment, and 239 bands of equalization, as well as flexible connections including 4-channel balanced differential RCA inputs, 4-channel high level inputs with signal sense turn on, 8-channels of 4-volt capable RCA outputs, remote Turn On/Off Function with adjustable Turn On delay, and auxiliary RCA and SPDIF coaxial inputs. For added installation flexibility, the DSR1s advanced tuning capabilities are accessed through an easy-to-use app for wireless tuning from Apple and Android devices.

“The DSR1 is the first real solution for replacing the factory amplifier and speakers in Ford and Chrysler vehicles,” Braaten continued. “The DSR1 uses the full-range, flat audio signal from the factory head unit. After the built-in Maestro interface is flashed with the vehicle-specific firmware, the factory head unit CAN messages are used to control the internal signal routing of the DSR1. Prior to the DSR1, installers had no choice but to add amplifiers after the factory amplifier which required complex signal summing as well as de-equalization and time alignment.”

Vehicles covered with integration at launch include 2011 to current Ford and Lincoln vehicles with 8-inch My Ford Touch radio and Sony amplifier and 2012 to current Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram vehicles with 8-inch radio and factory amplifier.

“When used in late model Ford and Chrysler vehicles, the DSR1 can be installed with one of three plug-and-play harnesses available at launch,” Braaten continued. “After installation, the factory tone controls and sound field settings are remapped to control like adjustments within the DSR1. For example, the use of the factory bass control is used as the sub-volume adjustment of the DSR1 eliminating the need to install extra controllers or knobs. With a retail price of only $249.99, there is no reason that every audio system shouldn’t have the benefit of a DSR1.”

Additional DSR1 specifications and features include:

• Frequency response: 20 - 20k +/- 0.5 dB
• 239 Bands of equalization for aftermarket tuning
• Adjustable crossovers with selectable slope and crossover type
• Crossover Frequency: 20 - 20k Hz
• Time Alignment of up to 10msec of delay on each channel
• Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity for convenient setup
• Interactive Tuning Interface Controlled via Android/ iOS App
• Optional PLC2 Level Controller with assignable functions
• Dimensions (L x W x H): 5.12 in. x 4.04 in. x 1,26 in.
• CE Compliant

Designed to Withstand the Outdoor Elements, the Highly Efficient Yet Compact Chassis Make the TM1000X5ad Amp Perfect for Hybrid, Electric, Small Cars, Trucks, Watercraft, Motorcycles, and Side-by-Side UTVs

TEMPE, Ariz. – Sept. 12, 2016 – Rockford Fosgate (www.rockfordfosgate.com) has announced that the new Element-Ready Power Series TM1000X5ad 5-Channel amplifier is now available with an MSRP of $1,049.99. Designed to withstand the outdoor elements, whether on sand, surf, or the open road, this marine-grade, high-efficient amplifier combined with a compact chassis makes it perfect for hybrid, electric, small cars, trucks, watercraft, motorcycles, and side-by-side UTVs.

“The Element-Ready TM1000X5ad is built on our proprietary Class ad platform designed to deliver unprecedented sound quality with superior power efficiency in a small chassis,” explained Jake Braaten, Rockford’s V.P. of Product Development & Engineering. “The TM1000X5ad is protected against dust, UV, and corrosion with marine grade two-part epoxy coating on circuit boards, and features stainless hardware. Combined with our Constant Power technology, this amplifier can easily exceed its rated power by up to 25 percent additional output per channel.”

The amplifier’s top mounted controls include Rockford’s C.L.E.A.N. level setting system, integrated high/ low pass crossovers, input channel configuration switches, and a Punch EQ boost circuit. Upgraded input RCA connectors allow for high or low level input signals to be used through the differential input circuit which eliminates incoming noise and can provide a remote out signal when using high level inputs. Dual fan cooling, real time thermal monitoring, and dual extruded heat sinks maintain heat dissipation even at high outputs, thus keeping the amp cool. The TM1000X5ad is also compatible with Rockford’s PLC2 level remote control, thus allowing remote output level control of the sub channel.

Additional features and specifications include:

• Rated Power:   100 Watts x 4 @ 4-Ohm + 400 x 1 @ 4-Ohm

100 Watts x 4 @ 2-Ohm + 600 x 1 @ 2-Ohm

Two-Day Event (July 6-7) Was Attended by Rep Firms Covering All 50 States; Focused on Complete Immersion in New Remote Start and Telematics Products, as well as Upcoming

New Product Launches and Dealer Programs and Initiatives for Latter Half of 2016

TEMPE, Ariz. – July 20, 2016 – Rockford Fosgate (www.rockfordfosgate.com) recently held its 2016 National Rep Meeting in Montreal, Canada. The two-day event (July 6-7) was attended by all rep firms from all 50 states.

“Day one of the meeting included a complete immersion in our newest product offering of remote start and telematics,” explained Theresa Anthony, Rockford Corp. vice president – sales and marketing. “Our sales reps participated in a full day of training at Automotive Data Solutions Inc. (ADS) on the new iDataStart® HC3 remote start system. Everyone had the chance to get their hands on the product, ask detailed questions about how the Flex configuration works, discuss the advantages of our buy-in program for dealers, and get an in-depth look at Autolink, Rockford Fosgate’s new telematics solution.”

Zach Luke, Rockford’s national sales manager, kicked off day two with discussions of improved service to Rockford Fosgate dealers, programs, growth for the second half of 2016, and a full download on Rockford’s new motorcycle audio kits that are shipping in late July.

“We’re in a great position moving into the second half of 2016,” Luke said. “Our product offering in categories complementary to mobile audio, such as side-by-side and motorcycle stereo integration, has opened up entirely new platforms for our retailers. But with these new products comes an evolution in our business…that’s why we pulled our entire sales force together. They need to be focused, knowledgeable, and have the right tools to provide the best service to our customers.”

Recently, Rockford Fosgate and ADS announced the launch of the all-new iDataStartÒ HC3 remote start system with FLEXÒ RF technology. HC3 is exclusively available through Rockford’s U.S.-based network of representatives.

With iDataStart HC3, mobile electronics retailers are offered the versatility of stocking a single remote start system, equipped with two 2-way LED remote controls, configurable in one of three configurations at the time of sale: FLEX 1W (1-way, half-mile), FLEX 2W (2-way, half-mile) or premium FLEX 2WX (2-way, 1-mile) delivering up to a genuine 1-mile of FCC-approved operating range.

At a later date, consumers can elect to enhance their experience with a FLEX configuration upgrade and this without any hardware transformations. Retailers can also choose to offer a free 30-day 2WX trial for customers who would rather try FLEX 2WX before accepting an upgrade purchase.

The iDataStart HC3’s “All-In-One” hardware features ADS’s industry-leading on-board vehicle integration technology with support for more than 10,000 vehicles. HC3 is also compatible with a complete selection of T-harnesses (sold separately) and offers integration with the most popular smartphone telematics solutions.

Rockford Fosgate is offering the iDataStart HC3 with an aggressive buy-in program. The dealer inventory carrying cost is reduced to as low as 35 percent with the balance (up to 65 percent) only billable at the time of the installation.

Rockford Fosgate will be shipping the iDataStart HC3 to dealers in early September.

Perfect for Tight Installs and Available mid October, the PBR400X4D is the Most Efficient and Offers the Most Power Per Channel in the PBR Series

TEMPE, Ariz. – Oct. 05, 2017 – Rockford Fosgate (www.rockfordfosgate.com) has announced the launch of the new compact Punch Series full range Class D amplifier. Perfect for small cars and trucks where space is at a premium, the highly efficient 400 Watt PBR400X4D is scheduled to ship mid October with an MSRP of $249.99.

“The PBR400X4D delivers more power per channel in the same PBR chassis…and we’ve made it even easier to set up,” explained Jake Braaten, Rockford’s V.P. of Product Development & Engineering. “Building on the innovative design of the PBR Series, the Rockford team continues to push the realm of what is possible in a compact amplifier category. Uncompromised performance, purposeful design, and more power set the stage for the creation of the PBR400X4D amp…the most efficient amp in the PBR Series.”

The 2-Ohm stereo/4-Ohm bridgeable PBR400X4D utilizes Rockford’s CLEAN technology. The clip indicators allow you to easily match the amplifier to the source unit and set output gain, which provides immense power with zero distortion. Endless options are available with a pair of dual selectable high pass crossovers. You can easily configure the output channels to work with a variety of full range speaker sizes, ensuring you get the response and output that you are looking for from your system.

“With inputs accepting both speaker line and RCA signals, adding amplified power to factory or aftermarket systems is now seamless with the PBR400X4D,” Braaten continued. “Integration is made even easier with auto sensing turn on and no remote lead wire required. And our time saving quick connect wire harness system eliminates screw terminal connections, therefore making it faster and easier to install.”

TEMPE, Ariz. – August 1, 2016 – Rockford Fosgate has announced the launch of new Power Series audio kits specific to Harley-Davidson motorcycles, model years 1998-current. The audio kits include speakers, amplifiers, and installation accessories. The full line is shipping now with retail prices ranging up to $999.99 MSRP for a complete vehicle specific audio kit.

“Rarely is anyone completely satisfied with motorcycle stock audio equipment, especially when riding on the open road,” said Jake Braaten, Rockford’s V.P. of Product Development & Engineering. “A reason many don’t upgrade their systems is because they don’t want to have to modify their bike in order to add new components. Our new motorcycle speakers have been designed as a direct fit premium quality audio solution with ease of installation in mind. These components deliver the audio experience that people expect from Rockford Fosgate, but require no modification when installed in factory locations. Great sound with relatively no effort!”

The new Power Series audio kit options include a wire harness which works for 1998 and up Harleys that includes mounting brackets and wire connections. All kits also come with new bike-specific grill assemblies.

Available Power Series Audio Kit options include:

Power Series Kit for Road Glide® & Street Glide® (Model Years 2014+):

• RFKHD amplifier installation kit; includes mounting plate, heatsink, and wiring kit for installing compact Punch and Power series amplifiers
• TMS65 75-Watt 6.5-Inch speakers (1 pr.)
• TM400X4ad 400-Watt Class-ad 4-Channel Amplifier

The TMS65 speakers fit all locations of the bike and include three sets of grilles for installation in Road Glide, Street Glide, and Tour-Pak speaker locations in 2014+ models.

Power Series Kit for Road Glide (1998-’13):

• RFKHD amplifier installation kit; includes mounting plate, heatsink, and wiring kit for installing compact Punch and Power series amplifiers
• TMS6RG 75-Watt 6.5-Inch speakers (1 pr.)
• TM400X4ad 400-Watt Class-ad 4-Channel Amplifier

Power Series Kit for Street Glide (1998-’13):

• RFKHD amplifier installation kit; includes mounting plate, heatsink, and wiring kit for installing compact Punch and Power series amplifiers
• TMS6SG 75-Watt 6.5-Inch speakers (1 pr.)

Power Series Tour-Pak Option for Road Glide and Street Glide (1998-’13):

• TMS5 65-Watt 5.25-Inch speakers (1 pr.)

“The RFKHD amplifier installation kit’s cables have been upgraded to provide the necessary current and voltage required for the amplifier and the heat sink provides extended thermal time under demanding situations, which are common for tight installation areas such as on a motorcycle,” added Braaten. “Also included are mounting brackets for Street Glide and Road Glide model bikes as well as speaker adapter plugs that allow the kit to work with 1998-2013 model Harley-Davidson motorcycles. All wiring is pre-terminated and is designed for simple plug and play installation.”

Braaten added that the TMS5 full range coaxial speaker is designed for direct fitment applications in 1998-2013 Harley-Davidson motorcycles in the Tour-Pak locations. “This speaker directly replaces the existing factory speakers using the factory mounting hardware and speaker connectors,” explained Braaten. “It features a compact Neodymium motor structure, as well as an ultra-efficient 25mm dome tweeter with integrated phase plug for crisp clear highs even at highway cruising speeds. It is made water/weather resistant, and requires no modification of the factory location and comes with new grille assemblies.”

The “No Power Wire Required” PM100X1K is a High Dynamic Power Amplifier Utilizing BTL-Powered Freeload Technology and a Conformal Coated PC Board Designed for Mobile, Motorsport, and Marine Applications

TEMPE, Ariz. – August 11, 2016 – Rockford Fosgate (www.rockfordfosgate.com), has announced that the new “No Power Wire Required” PM100X1K Punch Element-Ready 100-Watt full range mono amplifier is now available. Designed for mobile, motorsport and marine applications, the PM100X1K has an MSRP of $399.99 per pair (left/right).

“The Element-Ready PM100X1K is a high dynamic power amplifier that utilizes our patent pending BTL-powered ‘Freeload’ technology and a conformal coated pc board for multiple applications in a small, stealth-like package for installation basically anywhere…whether you’re on the road, on the beach, or on the water,” explained Jake Braaten, Rockford’s V.P. of Product Development & Engineering. “The single-channel PM100X1K amplifier provides a very unique amplifier solution…it utilizes the speaker output of the radio to not only provide the audio signal it needs, but also the power that runs the unit. This is done through a combination of the DC offset voltage commonly present and the audio AC signal itself. It also presents a safe load to the radio amp circuit to eliminate excessive wear and tear on the radio, making it ideal for both OEM and aftermarket radio integration.”

The patent pending technology in the PM100X1K initially uses the DC offset voltage for its turn on power as well as primary amplification power. As volume is increased and the output power demand rises, the amplifier begins sharing the power load between the DC and AC signals. Once high volume is reached, the majority of the amplifier’s power is provided from the AC signal only and is supplemented by its internal storage bank.

“This design allows it to actually charge its capacitive bank on the downside of the AC signal wave which is essentially unused power anyway,” Braaten continued. “It also presents no more load to the radio than a standard 2/4 ohm speaker would thus keeping the radio amplifier circuit safe from low impedance conditions. This design allows the amplifier to be connected to a radio with a rated 20-watt output and produce up to 100 watts dynamically. The unit also features a 2/4 ohm input switch to match the amplifier to the output impedance rating of the radio circuit. For speaker protection, we incorporate and selectable high pass crossover with setting at 60, 80, and 100Hz.”

For added versatility, an add on B+ wire is included and can be tied to other lower current circuits in its proximity for use in rare cases where there is not enough DC voltage present to power the amp at turn on. It is also Element Ready with an IPX6 rating for those installs where moisture may be present. Braaten explained, “These design features make the amplifier ideal for OEM or aftermarket upgrades because the amplifiers can be hidden in the dash or doors of the vehicle, in the fairing of a bike, or, frankly, anywhere a speaker exists.”

Additional specifications and features include:

• Frequency Response: 60Hz to 20kHz +/- 1.0dB
• Crossover: Selectable 60Hz, 80Hz, 100Hz Selectable @ 12dB/octave Butterworth
• Dynamic Power: 61 Watts x 1 @ 4-Ohm
• Dimensions: 1.3 x 3 x 3.9 (in); 3.3 x 7.62 x 9.91 (cm)
