Product Research

Features

Overview: The DS18 G4000.5D is a 5-channel amplifier that's part of DS18's GEN-X series car amplifiers. It features four full-range channels that are bridgeable, and one mono subwoofer channel. The compact amplifer features a heavy-duty aluminum heat-sink chassis that helps keep the Class D amplifier circuitry cool and stable during high-output use.

RMS Power Output:

  • 130W x 4 + 300W x 1 @ 4-ohms
  • 220W x 4 + 600W @ 2-ohms
  • 420W x 2 @ 4-ohms bridged (4 main channels)
  • 900W x 1 @ 1-ohm (subwoofer channel)

Gain: Three rotary gain controls (Ch.1/2, 3/4, & 5) let you run low-level signals ranging from 250 mV up to 6 V.

Input Mode: A 3-way dial lets you select the input channels that will feed all 5 speaker outputs:

  • 2 CH: Uses signals on Channels 1/2 only for all ouput channels.
  • 4 CH: Uses signals on Channels 1/2 & 3/4 for all output channels.
  • 5 CH: Lets you feed all 5 channels from all of the RCA inputs.

Two HPF Crossovers (Channels 1/2 and 3/4): A rotary High-Pass crossover dial lets you select the high-pass cutoff frequency from 10-250 Hz.

Subwoofer (Channel 5) Controls:

  • LPF Crossover: A rotary dial lets you select the low-pass cutoff frequency from 50-250 Hz.
  • Subsonic Filter: A rotary dial lets you remove subsonic frequencies from 10-50 Hz.
  • Bass Boost: A rotary dial lets you apply 0-12 dB of boost centered at 45 Hz.

Power/Protect LED: A single LED will illuminate Green when the amp is powered on and will change to Red if the amplifier goes into protect mode. The Protect circuit can guard against Over-Heating, Over/Under Voltage, Short-Circuit, and DC Output.

Clip LED: A Clip LED will light to let you know the input signal (Gain) has reached the distortion point and will need to be lowered.

Remote Level Control: An included remote level control lets you adjust the subwoofer level from the driver's seat; level range is variable from 6 V to 0.25 V (250 mV). The remote level control features Clip and Power/Protection LED indicators for added convenience. A 16' remote level control cable, terminated in RJ-45 connectors, is included.

  • Remote Level Control Dimensions:
    • Width: 2.51"
    • Height: 1.04"
    • Depth: 3.0" (including knob and cable)

Power Terminals: The power, ground, and remote inputs use set-screw terminals; power and ground terminals will accommodate up to 4-gauge wire (recommended), while the remote turn-on terminal can accept wire up to 12-gauge (18-gauge is usually sufficient). The set screws are tightened/loosened using a Philips-head screwdriver (not included).

Fuses: The DS18 G4000.5D does not include any fuses and will require a 160-amp fuse (sold separately) placed in-line on the power wire within 18" of the positive battery terminal.

Speaker Outputs: Five speaker outputs are provided on set-screw terminals accommodating wire up to 12-gauge.

RCA Inputs: Six RCA jack inputs are provided on a 5" removeable harness.

Note: The DS18 G4000.5D does not include high-level (speaker-level) inputs. If connecting the amplifier to a factory radio, speaker wire-to-RCA adapters will be required and are sold separately (see Accessories).

Mounting: The DS18 G4000.5D amplifier features four mounting tabs built into the chassis ends that can be secured using the supplied mounting hardware.
