About this product

MX500/1 Monoblock Class D Wide-Range Amplifier, 500 W x 1 @ 2 Ω / 300 W x 1 @ 4 Ω - 14.4V Engineered specifically for powersports applications, the MX500/1 monoblock amplifier employs our high-speed NexD™ switching design to pack a serious audio punch, without straining charging systems. Its tiny, cast aluminum chassis is highly resistant to corrosion, with an IPX6 water-resistance rating, making it perfect for motorcycles, ATV’s or other utility vehicles. With a robust 500W of clean power into a 2-ohm load (14.4V, 1% THD), use one to drive a subwoofer, or grab a pair to deliver stunning output to a subwoofer system. The MX500/1 also features an adjustable low-pass crossover, a bass boost EQ, variable infrasonic filter and output polarity switch. Its dual-range input section accepts a wide range of input voltage levels, from line-level all the way to high-power speaker level signals. With the addition of an M-RBC-1 remote level control (sold separately), subwoofer output can be directly controlled from the driver’s seat. This amplifier features a black powder-coated finish, a gasketed cover for the controls and stainless steel hardware for durability.

Installation tips

• Size power and ground wire to the amp's current draw and fuse it within 18 inches of the battery.
• Keep the ground short (under 18 inches) to bare metal on the chassis.
• Set gains with test tones or an oscilloscope — the gain knob is not a volume knob.
• Mount it where it can breathe; amplifiers need airflow to stay cool.
