At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere.
That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team — they open the box,
verify contents, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs.
We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices.

Features
Class A 100% Discrete Driver
Circuit Topology: The preamp stages use Class A topology for low distortion
and a high damping factor; the result is tight, controlled bass.
Patented PWM MOSFET Switching Power
Supply: This type of power supply is used for maximum power output and
protection.
Pure N-Channel Design: The pure
N-channel design is more linear than typical N-Channel designs, so the speaker
you connect to the amplifier will be better controlled. The signal travels
through fewer parts so the signal-to-noise ratio is enhanced, the power rating
is better, and the amp runs louder, longer.
Smart-Engage: When using the
speaker-level input, the amp automatically turns on when it senses signal from
the head unit, eliminating the need for a remote turn-on connection. In many
cases, this feature will allow you to install the amplifier without the need to
remove your radio.
Input Select Switch: The input
select switch, located on the left side of the amplifier, is used to match the
amplifier's input to the source unit's output so all four channels are driven.
If the source unit has only 2 preamp outputs (Left and Right), they should be
connected to the amplifier's front channel inputs and the input select switch
should be set to "2 CH". The amp's built-in "Y" adapter
feeds the input signal to all four output channels. The source unit's fader does
not function when the amplifier is wired this way. If the source unit has 4
preamp outputs (LF, RF, LR, RR), they should be connected to the amplifier's 4
inputs, and the switch placed in the "4 CH" position. The source
unit's fader control will function properly when wired in this fashion.
Internal Crossovers: The
amplifier has two built-in crossovers: one for the front channels and one for
the rear channels. They are each 18dB/octave, 85Hz crossovers. The front
crossover can be set for high-pass or turned off for full-range output. The rear
crossover can be set for high-pass or low-pass operation, or it may be turned
off for full-range output.
Preamp Outputs: There is one
set of isolated, full-range preamp outputs for adding another amp. The output
signal is a summed output of the front and rear channels.
Intelligent Surface Mount
Technology: Features substantially shorter internal and external lead
lengths, reducing stray capacitance and inductance, which results in cleaner and
more accurate musical reproduction with less noise interference.
Real-time Computerized Protection
Circuit: The protection circuit makes sure the amp is operating within safe
parameters for maximum power and protection.
Acoustically Seamless
Turn-on/Turn-off: A circuit that prevents turn-on/turn-off "thump"
is included to eliminate turn-on/off noise.
Iso-Feet: Four rubber Iso-Feet
are attached to the amplifier. The rubber feet let you mount the amp securely,
while preventing the mounting screws from coming into contact with the amp's
chassis; this helps prevent ground loops.
Terminals: The terminals are
nickel-plated, heavy-duty screw terminal connectors.
Performance Certificate: MTX
tests each amplifier, and the technician records the "actual" power
output on the Certified Performance Certificate included with each amp. The amp
must meet or exceed the rated specification in order to leave the factory.
