Polk Audio

My system has plenty of power. Who needs an amp?

You might think you don't need an amp because you have a 400-watt system in your car, or because your new stereo puts out 50 watts a channel. But those are peak wattage ratings, which may boil down to 15 or 20 watts per channel, using the more realistic RMS rating. An amp sends your speakers the power they need to deliver your music with clarity and impact, whether you're using factory speakers or high-performance components. And low-frequency reproduction requires lots of power, so an amp is an absolute must if you're adding a sub to your system.

Our take on the Polk Audio PA D5000.5

by Buck Pomerantz

Small amp amp that'll power your whole system

Polk's PA D5000.5 5-channel amplifier may be small, but it can power your complete system, sending 70 watts RMS to each of your front and rear speakers and up to 500 watts RMS to a sub. Or, you can switch this little beast to 3-channel mode to drive a couple high-level components with 200 watts RMS each and still have that 500 watts RMS left over for the bass. Best of all, this powerhouse will fit in almost any location in your vehicle because of its convenient size and shape.

Handsome with a clear voice

Polk's Class D amp technology helps this amp reproduce music very cleanly, with no added coloration or distortion. Adjustable high- and low-pass filters help you to tune your system, keeping bass away from full-range speakers and high notes away from subs.You'll find that the subsonic filter's a big help for tuning your sub in a ported enclosure. Polk includes a wired remote, so you can control the subwoofer level from your front seat. This amp's tough, good-looking stainless steel case won't tarnish, even in very humid conditions.

  • 5-channel car amplifier
  • 70 watts RMS x 4 + 200 watts RMS x 1 at 4 ohms

    Great amp

    Written By Milky, Atlanta, GA on Tuesday, November 20, 2012
     
    This amp is fantastic, power is true as advertised and the sub section is stable to 1 ohm. It's really tiny and fits perfectly under the seat of my 2013 Mazda CX-5. I have it running off an audiocontrol LC6i and powering my OEM speakers for now and a single 12" sub at 4 ohms. Everything on the amp seems solid, and it's marine certified so you can use it in a jeep or a boat as well. It is capable of running all 5 channels off a single pair of RCA's if needed which makes installation very flexible. The included bass boost knob is great and there is a green light on it that is on when the amp is on. Overall I'm very happy with my purchase and would definitely buy this amp again.
    Pros:
    Small Size, Marine Certified, Flexible Setup, Remote Gain Included, Low Price
    Cons:
    I mounted it under my seat so it's hard to make adjustments. Fits perfect though.
