Why Choose This Product?
The CANDY-X5B brings speaker and subwoofer amplification together in a single chassis. That five-channel layout can simplify a multi-channel system plan, while the subwoofer’s separate crossover and bass controls give you ways to shape its output.
Its compact dimensions provide a clear starting point when planning an installation. The listed power ratings also let you compare the amplifier’s output at different impedances before choosing compatible speakers and a subwoofer.
Installation & Compatibility Notes
Measure the intended mounting area against the amplifier’s listed dimensions, including the 9.96" heatsink length. Check speaker and subwoofer impedance against the channel-specific minimum impedance and power ratings.
The amplifier accepts RCA and Hi/Lo inputs. Its listed voltage input protection range is 9-16V, and the power input terminal size is 4Ga. Confirm your system connections and electrical requirements before installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the CANDY-X5B power both speakers and a subwoofer?
Yes. It has four full-range channels and a dedicated subwoofer channel.
What does the 2000W rating mean?
2000W is the stated peak rating. RMS output is listed separately by impedance, including 80W x 4 + 220W (Sub) at 4 ohm.
What input connections does it accept?
It has RCA and Hi/Lo inputs for connection to an audio system with a matching output.
Can I adjust subwoofer level from the driver’s seat?
Yes. A remote dash-mount level control is listed.
