Polk Performance Certificate attests to each individual amp’s Power Rating, and serial number.

High-density split-dome convection heat sinks with more surface area than standard fins for extreme heat dissipa- tion and a long, reliable life of high amplification. No need for noisy fans.

High damping factor improves driver control for tighter, punchier bass.

Subsonic Filter (15Hz@24dB/octave) for an extra level of speaker protection.

Remote Subwoofer Level Control available on all models (a stock feature on the mono sub amp).

Variable Bass Boost allows you to choose the amount (0–18dB boost) and frequency (30Hz–160Hz) of the boost to tune your sub/amp system to sound its best in your car.

Variable Low Pass Butterworth Filter (Bass Crossover): choose the frequency of the crossover from 30Hz–200Hz, and the crossover slope (switchable between 12dB/octave and 24dB/octave) for even more control.
