DescriptionSpecificationsManualsrelated itemswarranty
One of the most technologically advanced subwoofer amplifiers on the market! This new subwoofer amplifier is based on state-of-the-art Class G circuit topology that combines the proven high power, high fidelity characteristics of a Class AB amplifier with a patented tracking down converter power supply to achieve an operating efficiency up to 86%. You get the efficiency of a Class D amplifier without compromising audio quality and reliability. The class AB output stage provides the clean and low-distortion sound that audiophiles demand, without any instability problems of other high-efficiency amplifier designs. This American designed and engineered amplifier uses patented circuitry that continuously tracks the input signal to modulate or control the voltage available to the output stage. This "tracking" capability delivers the exact amount of power based on demand instead of constantly keeping it in reserve, so the output stage only draws the amount of power that is required at any given time. This means less energy is wasted as heat, and more power is available for the subwoofer driver. Dimensions: 11-15/16" W x 11-15/16" H x 5-1/4" D. Cutout dimensions: 10" W x 10" H.
  • High power class AB output stage
  • Patented tracking downconverter power supply
  • Full parametric bass EQ
  • Phase reversal switch
  • Advanced soft clip circuitry
  • Toroidal power supply transformer
  • Auto On/Off
  • Power output: 273 watts RMS @ 8 ohms, 540 watts RMS @ 4 ohms
  • S/N ratio: 98 dB (A weighted)
  • Crossover: 30 - 200 Hz, 24 dB/octave
  • Dimensions: 11-15/16" W x 11-15/16" H x 5-1/4" D
Note: Modifying subsonic filters on amplifiers purchased on or after 4/1/09 will void their warranty.

Impressed....

Adam from Missoula, Montana  

No hum issues at all, running this amp in an LLT tuned to 15.3hz havent yet changed the capacitors to play down to tuning but power out put on my FI Q18 is remarkable with out any indication of clipping, and the amp never gets hot, just finding room for a 21hz enclosure can be tricky.

Disappointed DIY from Columbus, Ohio  

I have four subwoofers in my house. This is the only one that hums. I've run the unit on a dedicated circuit in my basement. Used two different receivers to drive this thing. I cannot give a rating out of the middle since I simply do not use this extremely heavy paperweight that has cost me over $500 for my project. This was my first DIY and for a long time thought I must have done something wrong. Since reading of others with a hum issue, I have come to the conclusion that I would not purchase this amp again. I don't know how anyone can use this amp with the level of annoying hum both heard and felt by the bodies senses.
