Our take on the Audiobahn A8005DN

If you want Audiobahn performance in a smaller package, check out the Intake Series Class D subwoofer amps. A built-in air intake and a cooling fan ensures that these compact workhorses will stay cool through hours of heavy use.

You get the precise sonic control that you expect from Audiobahn. A variable low-pass filter trims unwanted frequencies to improve your sub's performance, and you can use the variable bass boost to bring the hammer down when you need it.

The A8005DN mono amplifier pumps out 200 watts RMS of Class D power to a single subwoofer, or 400 watts to a 2-ohm load. Preamp- and speaker-level inputs allow you hook this amp into almost any system.

Like to be in control? The optional remote-mount digital voltmeter lets you keep an eye on power levels from the driver's seat, while the optional wired remote bass boost provides variable control over your low-frequency punch.
