    The high-performance Class-D amplifiers feature special power packs that fulfil every possible desire for fun and detail-rich sound with an amazingly high sound pressure level (SPL). The module, weighing only 1.3 kilograms, delivers deep bass sounds powerfully and precisely to the speakers. Thanks to the Class-D technology, the amplifier is more efficient than an analogue amplifier and, as a result, only a small amount of heat is generated and additional cooling is not required. In turn, this gives compact dimensions of only 19.2 × 11.6 × 5.2 centimetres and allows space-saving installation under the driver's seat or at the rear. The compact and light Class-D amplifier works extremely economically and efficiently.
