About the RetroSound Technophonic
Centralized power
Centralized power
RetroSound's modest-looking Technophonic 5-channel amplifier can power your entire system, sending 65 watts RMS to each of your front and rear speakers while delivering up to 330 watts RMS to your subwoofer. Highly efficient Class D technology keeps this powerful amp running as cool as it looks, and allows for a compact chassis less than 2 inches high that'll fit in a lot of out-of-the-way locations.
For the loud crowd
The Technophonic can also be set up for 3-channel operation to power a couple of high-performance speakers with 190 watts RMS each, while sending 330 watts to a sub. High- and low-pass filters, with steep 24 dB per octave slopes, let you fine-tune the signal to precisely match your particular speakers and subs.
Extra bass controls
The Technophonic's subwoofer channel features a bass boost, so you can really pile it on if you want. A wired remote lets you adjust the level of bass for each song from your front seat.

- Channels 1/2 and 3/4:
- 4Ω: 65 watts RMS x 4-channels
- 2Ω: 95 watts RMS x 4-channels
- Bridged: 190 watts RMS x 2-channel into 4Ω
- Channel 5:
- 4Ω: 225 watts RMS x 1-channel
- 2Ω: 330 watts RMS x 1-channel

- Channel 5: low pass; rotary dial; continuously variable 50-250 Hz
Input Mode: The three position input mode switch allows choosing 2-channel (only the channel 1/2 RCA inputs are active), 4-channel (only channel 1/2 and 3/4 RCA inputs are active), or 5-channel (all 6 RCA inputs are active).

It's a good amp. The first one I've purchased. It pushes my kicker comp c 10" 2ohm well and 4 95watt speakers at 4ohms nicely
