Description
Description
The SMD-8500.1D pairs a Class D subwoofer channel with an integrated SMD VM-1 voltmeter. Developed with DS18, its acrylic window, adjustable RGB lighting and twin fans suit an amplifier installation that is designed to be seen.
Power and installation
- RMS output at 14.4 V: 3300W at 4 ohms; 5700W at 2 ohms; 8500W at 1 ohm.
- Minimum load: 1 ohm.
- 0 AWG power terminals; recommended external fuse 740A, not included.
- Width: 232 mm; height: 76 mm. Overall length requires confirmation because the manufacturer publishes conflicting inch and metric figures.
