Product Research

Features

Overview: The Memphis Audio Power Reference PRX800.1V2 is a compact and powerful mono amplifier. This Class D amp features a compact anodized brushed aluminum chassis with all of the connections on one side for a clean installation. Each Power Reference series amplifier includes a Certificate of Performance with a total RMS power measurement.

Output Power: The PRX800.1V2 can provide the following output power:

  • 300 watts RMS x 1 at 4-ohms
  • 500 watts RMS x 1 at 2-ohms
  • 800 watts RMS x 1 at 1-ohm

Sub-Sonic Filter: The Sub-Sonic Filter provides a cutoff point for lower frequencies that cannot be cleanly reproduced by the subwoofer, and may cause damage to your speakers and waste amplifier power. The Sub-Sonic Filter is variable from 10Hz to 50Hz, with a slope of 24dB per octave.

High-Level/Low-Level Inputs: The Memphis Audio PRX800.1V2 mono amplifier features a pair of RCA inputs that can accept signal levels ranging from 200mV up to 6V. A set of RCA-to-speaker wire adapers are included for running speaker-level input signals. A pair of RCA Outputs lets you jumper the input signal out to an additional amplifier.

Remote Level Control: The PRX800.1V2 includes a wired remote level control that lets you adjust the signal level from the front of your vehicle. The level control is designed to mount underneath a dash or console and includes a 16' connection cable.

  • Remote Level Control Dimensions:
      • Width: 1.97"
      • Height: 0.92"
      • Depth: 2.58" (including cable)

Accent Lighting: The mono amplifier features an acrylic top panel with an LED-backlit MEMPHIS logo that glows blue. Additional undermount LEDs provide blue accent lighting around the amplifier.

Protection Circuitry: The amplifier features built-in circuitry to protect the amplifier against short circuit, overheating, and over/under battery voltage. The amp LEDs will glow red when the amplifier shuts down due to any of the above causes.

Controls: The amplifier features a removeable acrylic top plate where the Gain, Filters, and Bass Boost controls are located. The top panel can be removed using the included 2mm Allen key. Input Level and Remote adjustments are located on the Input side-panel. Amplifier controls include:

  • Gain: rotary control; sets the input sensitivity; labeled Min to Max
  • Sub-Sonic Filter: rotary control; range 10-50 Hz; 24 dB/octave slope
  • Low Pass Crossover: rotary control; range 50-250 Hz;18 dB/octave slope
  • Bass Boost: rotary control; provides up to +12dB of signal boost; centered at 45Hz
  • Input Level: 2-position switch:
    • Lo: line-level source
    • Hi: speaker-level source
  • Auto Turn On: 3-position switch:
    • 12V: using a +12 volt remote turn-on wire
    • DC: DC Offset; speaker level input only
    • Audio: Audio Signal Sense; speaker level or line level input

Connections:

  • Power/Ground/Turn-on: set-screw terminals; power and ground terminals accept bare wire up to 4-gauge (a 4-gauge amplifier wiring kit with an in-line 80-amp fuse on the power wire within 18" of the battery is recommended); REM set screw terminal accepts up to 12-gauge wire (18-gauge remote lead is sufficient)
  • Signal Input: stereo RCA jacks; preamp or speaker level input; 200mV-6V
  • Line Output: stereo RCA jacks for sending the audio signal to a second amplifier
  • Speaker Output: two pair if set screw terminals, internally shorted together, for easily connecting two subwoofers; accept up to 12-gauge wire
