About the Sound Ordnance™ M-2100
Win the battle for great sound in your ride. Sound Ordnance amplifiers feature tough construction, rugged looks, and a 3-year warranty, so you can enjoy the full power of your music for the long haul. Even better, you can add Sound Ordnance to your arsenal at a surprisingly affordable price.
The Sound Ordnance M-2100 2-channel amplifier deploys 75 watts RMS to each channel, giving your music plenty of firepower. Or you can bridge the M-2100 to mobilize 200 watts RMS to your sub. An adjustable high-pass filter makes sure your full-range speakers operate within their optimum range and give you the best tone possible. If you're driving a sub, the low-pass filter and a selectable bass boost allow you to control your bass barrage at will.
The M-2100 amplifier uses sophisticated power supply and output technologies to ensure clean amplification from the inputs all the way to your speakers. Special circuits protect the amp from overheating and short circuits, and a turn-on delay virtually eliminates that annoying thump when you turn your system on.

Features
Power Ratings: The Sound Ordnance M-2100 is a two-channel Class AB amplifier with an RMS power rating of 75 watts per channel into 4 ohms, and 100 watts per channel into 2 ohms. The amp can also be bridged into a 4-ohm load for a power rating of 200 watts. Power ratings are measured with an input power of 14.4 volts.
Crossovers: The M-2100 is equipped with both high-pass and low-pass crossovers. You can set the low-pass cutoff frequency between 50Hz and 250Hz, and the high-pass cutoff frequency between 80Hz and 2kHz. A 3-way switch lets you select low-pass, high-pass, or full range operation. The crossovers have a 12dB per octave slope.
Super Bass: The amplifier has a bass boost switch, labeled Super Bass, to give small subwoofers more volume in the low frequencies. You can select the amount of boost with the 3-way switch: 0dB, 6dB, or 12dB.
LED Indicators: The M-2100 features two LED indicators: a green LED that illuminates when the amp is powered on, and a red LED that illuminates when the amplifier is in protect mode due to overheating or a short circuit in the speaker wire.
Connections
Removable End Caps: The end caps on the M-2100 are removable with a 3mm Allen wrench (not supplied) to make it easier to attach the power and speaker wires.
Power Connections: The power and ground connections are set screw terminals that will accommodate up to 8-gauge wire. (An 8-gauge amplifier wiring kit is recommended.) The remote turn-on terminal is a set screw terminal that will also accept up to 8-gauge wire. A Phillips-head screwdriver (not supplied) is required to tighten/loosen the terminals.
Speaker Connections: The speaker connections are set screw terminals that will accommodate up to 8-gauge wire. A Phillips-head screwdriver (not supplied) is required to tighten/loosen the terminals.
RCA Inputs and Outputs: The amplifier features a pair of stereo RCA inputs for connecting your head unit. There is also a pair of stereo RCA outputs for feeding the preamp signal to another amplifier, if needed.
Speaker Level Input: In addition to the RCA preamp outputs, the amplifier also has speaker level inputs for connecting a head unit that does not have preamp outputs. The supplied speaker level input harness has 4 bare wires on one end and a 4-pin Molex plug on the other end.
Fuses: The M-2100 features one 30-amp ATC blade fuses.

very satisfied with the Sound Ordance amp. It replaced a six year old MTX thunder that quit working. The Sound Ordance amp performs just as well as the MTX and was less expensive.
