Why Choose This Product?
The GFX-8K1 gives you three power ratings at 14.4V across 4-, 2-, and 1-ohm loads, helping you compare its output with your subwoofer system’s impedance. Its adjustable low-pass and high-pass filters, plus bass boost, provide options for shaping the signal to your system rather than relying on a fixed crossover setting.
Installation & Compatibility Notes
Match the amplifier to a speaker load within its 1–4 Ohm range. The signal input is low-level only, so plan for an RCA-level signal from a head unit or processor; high-level input is not present. Check that your installation can accommodate the 15.35" x 9.29" x 2.83" chassis and the specified 1/0 GA power input and 8 GA speaker output. The listed operating voltage is 9–15V, and the fuse rating is 800A.
