Why Choose This Product?
The P500X2 combines two-channel or bridged operation with onboard crossover and EQ controls. That gives you adjustment options at the amplifier, including bass shaping at 45 Hz and treble adjustment at 12 kHz through Punch EQ2.
Its RCA pass-thru outputs can carry a signal onward to another component. The top-mounted control panel keeps its controls on the amplifier, while the optional PLC2 offers an additional way to adjust level from the dash.
Installation & Compatibility Notes
Plan your installation around the amplifier’s 2.38 in H x 7.76 in W x 13.28 in D dimensions and its stated 4 AWG power input and 8–18 AWG speaker-wire range. Match the connected subwoofer load to the amplifier’s listed power ratings, especially when bridging to mono.
The product details describe use with a pair of 8-ohm SVC subwoofers or four 2-ohm DVC subwoofers. Confirm the complete speaker configuration and installation requirements for your system before connecting equipment. The Punch Level Control (PLC2) is optional.
