The PWM-based power design includes specified components such as a toroidal transformer, low ESR capacitors, and ferrite core inductors. The anodized aluminum chassis is designed for thermal dissipation.
Installation & Compatibility Notes
Check the amplifier’s 14" W x 6.7" D x 2.1" H dimensions against your planned mounting location. Its profile is described as suitable for under-seat or trunk installations.
Match the connected speakers and subwoofer to the amplifier’s stated impedance ratings and power outputs. Check your source’s signal type and level against the preamp, line-level, or speaker-level input options. The amplifier supports Start-Stop systems and EV compliance up to 17V.
X-Over is off by default. The ACR-1 Remote Level Control is optional.
