DESCRIPTION

•The Clarion DPX1000.2 two-channel amplifier provides 250 watts x2 into a 4 ohm load, 450 watts x2 of power into a 2 ohm load. and 500 watts x2 into a 1 ohm load. This full featured model is an excellent choice for a variety of car audio sound system configurations.

•The DPX1000.2 is Clarion’s first amplifier using Digital Technology

The DPX1000.2 uses 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 DPX1000.2 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 a wired remote sub level control (BC2) for adjusting the amplifier gain from the front of the vehicle.

•Multimode operation is a unique feature that allows the DPX1000.2 to maximize power output at different loads. In the regular mode (loads of 4 ohm or 2 ohm stereo), the power output is 250 watts x2 into 4 ohms and 450 watts x 2 into 2 ohms. With a 1 ohm load, the power output will increase to 500 watts x 2. This feature will accommodate various system configurations

Note: Activation of the 1 ohm mode will occur when the output load is 1 ohm. The amplifier will shut down for 15 seconds and then turn back on in the 1 ohm mode. To reset this feature, the power connections must be disconnected for 30 seconds and then reconnected.
