Product Research
Features
Overview: The RA1-710.5 5-channel amplifier is effectively two full range 2-channel amps (labeled channels 1/2 and 3/4) and a subwoofer amp (labeled channel 5) built into one chassis.
Power Output:
- Full Range Channels:
- 4Ω: 50 watts x 4
- 2Ω: 100 watts x 4
- Subwoofer Channel:
- 4Ω: 150 watts x 1
- 2Ω: 150 watts x 1
- 1Ω: 350 watts x 1 (only the subwoofer channel is 1Ω stable)
Control Panel: The control panel is protected by a cover to prevent unwanted adjustments. The cover screws are removed with the included 2mm Allen wrench. The rotary controls and recessed slide switches require the use of a narrow flat blade screwdriver (not included) to make adjustments. Each section of the amplifier has independent gain and crossover controls.
- Input Mode: 3-position switch; 2-channel (all five output channels fed using just the channel 1/2 inputs), 4-channel (discrete inputs for channels 1/2 and 3/4, subwoofer channel fed by the sum of those four), 5-channel (discrete inputs used for all five output channels)
- Turn-on Mode: 2-position switch; Remote (turns on when triggered by +12 volts DC on remote terminal), DC Sense (turns on/off with the presence of a speaker level input)
- Gain: three rotary controls; variable from 200mV to 9V
- Crossover:
- Full Range Channels:
- X-Over: 2-position switches; high-pass or full-range
- Frequency: rotary controls; variable 50-250 Hz
- Subwoofer Channel:
- Frequency: rotary control; variable 50-250 Hz
- Subsonic Filter: 2-position switch; 25 Hz or off
- Full Range Channels:
- Bass EQ: rotary control; subwoofer channel only; variable 0 to +12 dB
Connections:
- Audio Inputs: three pair of stereo RCA jacks; accept pre-amp level or speaker-level input
Note: If connecting the amp with speaker-level input signals, a speaker wire to RCA adapter will be required (sold separately).
- Speaker Outputs: five pair of set-screw terminals; accept up to 12-gauge speaker wire
- Power/Ground: set-screw terminals; accept up to 4-gauge wire; MB Quart recommends 4-gauge power and ground wire, and using an 80-amp in-line fuse (there is no fuse on the amplifier chassis)
- Remote Turn-on: set-screw terminal; accepts up to 12-gauge wire
- Remote Level Control: RJ-45 socket; connect to the included wired remote level control (adjusts subwoofer channel only)
Wired Remote: A remote level control is included that allows you to adjust the output level of the subwoofer amp from the driver's seat. A 16' remote cable is included.
Remote Dimensions:
- Width: 1⅝" (2½" mounting flange)
- Height: 1"
- Depth: 2¼" (2¾" including knob and cable)

Installed this in my BMW Z4. I had to bypass the factory amp and splice through factory wires but everything works perfectly and the sound quality is 100 times better in my little convertible.
