About the Soundstream Reserve DPA1.2000D
A sub amp with the features you want
A sub amp with the features you want
Soundstream designed their Reserve Series DPA1.2000D mono amplifier to supply your subwoofer with plenty of power, and give you the ability to fine-tune the amplified sound to match your sub with digital precision. The DPA1.2000D can send your sub up to 400 watts RMS of bass power.
Digital signal processing
Digital Pre-Amp Tuning features include variable low-pass, and subsonic filters, along with a variable bass boost and phase control. All settings are made by button and confirmed on the digital display. The low-pass filter has an unusually steep slope (48 dB/octave) to accommodate the widest variety of subs you might use in your system. A wired remote lets you control the bass level from your front seat.
Soundstream Reserve
Soundstream knows that Crutchfield offers free lifetime tech support for the gear we sell — and that's one of the reasons why we can offer you their Reserve line of compact and powerful car amplifiers.

Features
Mono Amp: The SoundStream DPA1.2000D is a single channel subwoofer amp. The low pass crossover is always engaged, so the amp does not offer full-range output.
Specifications:
- Power Output:
- 4Ω: 250 watts RMS x 1
- 2Ω: 400 watts RMS x
- Signal to Noise Ratio: 70 dB
- THD: 0.5% (at 4Ω)
Protection Circuitry: The amplifier features built-in circuitry to protect against overload, short circuit, and overheating (160° Fahrenheit or higher).
Display: Along with the top mounted controls, there is a digital display. Normally either the input voltage or amp temperature is displayed. When adjusting any of the top mounted controls, the current setting is displayed.
Wired Remote: A wired remote level control is included. The remote has integrated flanges and screws are included to mount the unit under the dash. It includes an 18' cable to connect to the amplifier.
Remote Dimensions:
- Width: 1.56" wide (2.21" including the mounting flanges)
- Height: 1"
- Depth: 1.57" (2.2" including the knob and cable)
Controls: Other than the input gain, all the controls are on the top of the amp.
- Gain: rotary control to match the amplifier to the output of the source unit; variable from 500mV to 8V
- Level: output level; separate from the input gain control; range 1-20
- Low Pass: low pass crossover point; range 20 Hz to 1 kHz with approximately ⅙ octave spacing
- SubSonic: high pass crossover point; range 10-50 Hz in 1 Hz steps
- Bass Boost: bass boost level centered at 45Hz; range 0-14 dB
- Phase: phase of the output; 0°-180° in 5° steps
Connections:
- Input: port for use with the included RCA input harnesses; when using speaker level inputs the RCA plugs can be cut off following the instructions in the manual
- Power/Ground: set screw terminals; will accept up to 8-gauge wire (8-gauge recommended)
- Remote Turn-on: set screw terminal; will accept up to 8-gauge wire (typically a much smaller wire is used)
- Speaker Output: the included output harness has wiring for two subwoofers; the outputs are internally wired in parallel, making it easy to connect two subwoofers
- Speaker Output: The speaker output set-screw terminals will accept up to 8-gauge wire. There are two pair of outputs
- Remote: 3.5mm mini-jack for use with the included wired remote level control
- Fuses: three 20-amp ATM (blade) fuses are installed on the end of the amplifier; 60-amp fuse (minimum) also required on the power wire within 18" of the battery
- Thru-in: proprietary line input jack; requires the included cable, which connects to the DPA4.1600D 4-channel amp; the rear channel input from the DPA4.1600D is passed to this DPA1.2000D (the rear channel input gain also adjusts the signal forwarded to this amp)
