DESCRIPTION

The Clarion APX200.2 and APX400.2 two-channel amplifiers provide 2x70 watts and 2x110 watts of power into a 4 ohm load and 2x110 watts and 2x190 watts of power into a 2 ohm load. These full featured models are an excellent choice for a variety of car audio sound system configurations.

The APX200.2 and APX400.2 use an unregulated MOSFET power supply for superior control of output wattage. A toroid-coil transformer yields maximum power transfer with minimum heat loss. Careful attention to circuit design keeps AM RFI at low levels, so you won’t hear unwanted noise when the level is cranked up. Protection circuits safeguard the amplifier when overheating and speaker shorts or improper load conditions occur.

All connections and controls of the APX200.2 and APX400.2 are on the end panels and are easy to understand. We use gold-plated RCA and barrier connectors to ensure the best electrical connection for your system. Included is an external automotive type fuse that is easy to replace.
