Description

Product Overview

The DS18 FRP-2.5K/RD is a compact, full-range Class D monoblock amplifier for high-output, single-channel systems. It delivers 2,500W RMS at 1Ω and combines a small footprint with built-in cooling and protection features.

This red version measures 8.85" L × 5.5" W × 2.36" H, making its dimensions useful to check when planning a tight installation.

Key Features & Benefits

  • High output: Its listed power ratings scale across 4Ω, 2Ω, and 1Ω loads.
  • Full-range response: The 10Hz–20kHz frequency response covers sub-bass through high frequencies.
  • Onboard controls: A 0–12dB bass boost at 50Hz lets you add low-frequency emphasis.
  • Active cooling: Two smart-cooling fans support operation during demanding listening sessions.
  • Protection and indicators: Multiple protection functions and Power, Protect, and Clipping LEDs help you monitor amplifier status.
  • Compact construction: A four-layer PCB, protective coating, and vibration protection suit space-conscious automotive installations.
