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.

Amplifier Features
Patented PWM MOSFET Switching Power
Supply: This type of power supply is used for maximum power output and
protection.
Adaptive Class D Technology:
While typical Class D amps tend to generate high frequency energy that must be
filtered to prevent harmonic interference in the FM radio frequency range,
Adaptive Class D Technology directs the amp's switching energy away from FM
radio ranges as the amp's load and output increases. This improves the amp's
overall signal-to-noise ratio and eliminates interference generated by more
common Class D amps.
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.
Low Impedance, High Power
Transformers: The low impedance, high power transformers provide more power
and produce less heat.
Smart-Engage: If you're
planning to keep your factory radio and use the amp's speaker level inputs,
Smart-Engage senses the source voltage from the factory radio, meaning you won't
have to run a separate turn-on lead and won't necessarily have to remove the
factory radio during installation.
Real-time Computerized Protection
Circuit: The protection circuit makes sure your 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.
RCA Outputs: In addition to the
set of preamp inputs, there is a set of buffered RCA preamp outputs, providing a
full-range stereo signal. The outputs allow you to daisy-chain one bass
amplifier to another.
Intelligent Surface Mount
Technology: The 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.
Thunder EQ: Thunder EQ is a
selectable Bass Boost (0 dB, +6 dB, +12 dB) centered at 40 Hz.
Crossover: This amplifier is
equipped with a fixed 85 Hz, 18 dB/octave, low-pass crossover that is always
active.
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.

Enclosure Features
Enclosure Impedance: The
enclosure is loaded with two 12" Road Thunder woofers. The woofers are wired to
present the amplifier with a 2-ohm mono load.
Woofer
Cones: The
woofer cones are constructed of polypropylene,
which has a rigid structure for low distortion and accurate sound reproduction.
Foam Surrounds: On each woofer,
a double row of stitching binds the cone to the foam surround fortifying the
structural integrity of the woofer.
Spring
Posts:
The nickel-plated spring posts, located on the rear of the enclosure, will
accept bare wire, pin connectors, banana plugs, and dual banana plugs.
