Amplifiers with a Power Output Rating of 500-Watts x 1-Channel, 3-Ohm Final Impedance

Amplifiers with a Power Output Rating of 500-Watts x 1-Channel, 3-Ohm Final Impedance

RMS power: This rating of any amplifier is the continuous power rating that an amp is designed to output at a maximum continued volume rating. The RMS power specification is one of two numbers to go by when pairing your speakers with an amplifier, not the only 2 but a good starting point. As an example, a speaker driver with a 500-Watt, or 500W for short, RMS rating should be paired with a five-hundred-watt RMS amplifier. We usually recommend an amp to be over powered by 10% RMS so that the power-plant does not have to work at 100% capacity to get 100-percent efficiency from your speakers. This will keep your amplifier from overheating during long periods of continuous operation.

Ohms: Is the resistance rating of an amp and is the second most important when pairing drivers with amplifiers. A power-plant that is 500W @ 3-ohm might put out 1000-Watts @ 1Ω. When purchasing an amplifier, the correct pairing of a speaker’s RMS wattage and Ohm ratings with an amp’s output power rating is absolutely essential.

    JL Audio MHD900/5 : 5ch Marine Amplifier, 100W x 4 + 500W Mono @ 1.5-4Ω

    Pre-Order Today!

    MHD-Series 5-Channel Class-D Marine Grade Amplifier, 100-Watts x 4ch + 500-Watt Mono @ 1.5-4Ω Thanks to its ability to act as a "one-box solution", the MHD900/5 is ideal for installations where space is at a premium and sound quality is the paramount goal. While extremely compact, this amazing amplifier will comfortably drive a complete high-performance marine audio system: that is, four satellite speaker systems and a subwoofer system... with a very serious 900 watts of power! Using JL Audio's Single Cycle Control switching design and R.I.P.S technology, the MHD900/5 delivers 100W x 4ch, plus a very meaty 500W to its subwoofer channel. Thanks to R.I.P.S., high power can be delivered over a wide range of load impedances, while the tight power supply regulation keeps distortion down, maximizing sound quality. This marine amplifier features white and gray powder-coat finishes, a gasketed cover for the controls and stainless steel hardware for durability in the marine environment.
