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.
