About the Rockford Fosgate RFX6000-SX

Jon Paul

A hideaway hub for audio and video

Sometimes, stowaways are a good thing. Rockford Fosgate designed the RFX6000-SX receiver to give you lots of entertainment options in a marine-rated "black box" that hides away out of sight, giving you access to all the functionality and connectivity you'd ever want from a digital media receiver.

A hideaway hub for audio and video

Sometimes, stowaways are a good thing. Rockford Fosgate designed the RFX6000-SX receiver to give you lots of entertainment options in a marine-rated "black box" that hides away out of sight, giving you access to all the functionality and connectivity you'd ever want from a digital media receiver.

You can check out your local AM/FM radio stations, or connect a music player or thumb drive to the AUX and USB inputs. If you want to enjoy the amazing programming (and clear reception) of SiriusXM satellite radio, all you need is a subscription and a tuner. You'll also find composite video inputs and outputs, so you can play stored movies and other videos through your receiver. You'll need Rockford Fosgate's RFXMR5BB wired remote control (sold separately) to switch sources, control your music, and adjust the tone, balance, and fade controls.

Small footprint, big sound

With front, rear, and sub speaker outputs, you can actually build a pretty nifty system around the RFX6000-SX. Add an RFXBT module (also sold separately) to bring the convenience of wireless Bluetooth connectivity to your boat.

The hideaway design keeps the RFX6000-SX out of the elements, of course, but life on a boat is still a damp, humid place. To ensure all-season reliability, Rockford equips this water-resistant receiver with a conformal coated circuit board, so it will keep you rockin' for years to come.

Bluetooth note: Use of this receiver's Bluetooth features will depend upon your phone's Bluetooth capabilities. Learn more in our article explaining Bluetooth profiles.

iPod/smartphone note: If you're going to use your iPod or smartphone with this receiver, be sure to check "Details" for compatibility information.

    Audio Section

    MOSFET Amplifier: The RFX6000-SX is equipped with a MOSFET amplifier. Compared to conventional power supplies, the MOSFET amplification circuit is smaller and more efficient, and it delivers increased power with less distortion and absolutely zero on/off switching noise. More power means louder and cleaner music at higher volumes because you're not pushing the limits of the amplification circuit.

    • Full Bandwidth Power: 22 watts RMS x 4 channels (at 4 ohms, 20-20kHz, 1% THD)
    • Maximum Output Power: 50 watts x 4 channels

    3V/6Ch Preouts: The RFX6000-SX is equipped with three pair of 3-volt preamp outputs (Front/Rear/Sub). The front and rear speaker preamp outputs are balance and fade adjustable. The subwoofer preamp output is non-fading. The subwoofer output is full-range, so you will need a sub amp with a low-pass crossover built-in.

    Bass & Treble: The Rockford Fosgate RFX6000-SX provides independent Bass & Treble controls to tailor the unit's sound to your listening preference.

    Dual Zone Outputs: The RFX6000-SX features stereo RCA outputs which can send the same audio or different audio source to a second zone of your boat or vehicle.

    Note: Unfortunately USB devices and SD/SDHC memory card audio cannot be played back at the same time in the main and second zone.

    Q
    I cannot connect Bluetooth. From the Mode screen it gives me, FM/AM, AUX and "No Conn". When on the No Conn screen, no blue tooth signal shows up on any smart devices like we usually can do. Do i need to clear out the memory or previous synced devices?
