High power
2×50 to 100 W RMS amp
2×50, 2×75, 2×80, 2×90, and
2×100 W RMS amplifiers are particularly interesting for
amplifying speakers or a component kit without seeking
an extreme setup.
2×100 to 200 W RMS amp
2×120, 2×150, 2×160, 2×180, and
2×200 W RMS models can power more powerful speakers,
woofers, or certain midrange-low midrange sections.
2×200 to 300 W RMS amp
2×200, 2×225, 2×250, 2×275
or 2×300 W RMS amps meet the needs of setups requiring
more power and headroom.
2×500 W RMS and up amp
For very powerful systems, our selection also includes
2×500, 2×700, and even
2×900 W RMS amplifiers depending on the models and the impedance used.
For a component kit
Compare the kit's allowable RMS power with the power
delivered by the amplifier at its rated impedance.
Proper gain and filter settings remain essential.
For speakers
An external stereo amp can power a pair of coaxials,
woofers, or powerful speakers when the head unit alone
does not provide the desired power.
For midrange drivers
The most powerful models can be used
for high-power midrange and midrange-low midrange drivers,
provided you respect their RMS, impedance
and operating range.
For woofers
A 2-channel amplifier can also power a pair
of woofers to enhance the kick and midrange-low midrange
of a Car Audio setup.
BRIDGED MODE • BRIDGE
Can you bridge a 2-channel amp?
Many 2-channel amplifiers allow you to combine
their two channels to create a more powerful mono output.
This is what is called bridged mode.
However, not all amplifiers accept the same
impedances once bridged. Always respect the minimum
impedance and the manufacturer's instructions.
Example: 2×200 W RMS or 1×400 W RMS?
An amp may be rated with power per channel
in stereo and a different power when bridged.
This does not mean that all 2×200 W models automatically
produce 400 W in bridge: use the manufacturer's
actual specifications.
CLASS D OR CLASS AB?
Two technologies present in Car Audio amplification
Class D amplifier
Class D amplifiers are appreciated for their high
efficiency and often allow you to obtain significant power
in a compact format.
Class AB amplifier
Class AB is also present on Car Audio stereo
amplifiers. The choice should be made based on the product,
its power, its features, and the needs of the setup
rather than on the class alone.
BUYER'S GUIDE
How to choose your 2-channel amp?
Start with the speakers you want to power.
This allows you to select a power and impedance
that are consistent before comparing the different brands.
✓ RMS Power — compare amp and speakers
✓ Impedance — 4 Ω, 2 Ω, or other depending on equipment
✓ Use — component kit, midrange, woofer, or bridge
✓ Class — D or AB depending on the model
✓ Filters — HPF / LPF depending on your needs
✓ Dimensions — check the installation space
POWER SUPPLY • WIRING • FUSE
Match the power supply to the amplifier's power
The higher the power, the better the electrical installation
must be properly sized. Use a power cable
gauge suited to the consumption,
a good ground, and fuse protection properly
positioned near the power source.
FROM SQ TO HIGH POWER
A 2-channel amp for every project
OEM Upgrade
Give more power to your speakers.
Hi-Fi Installation
Power a pair of channels with a dedicated amp.
High Power
Midrange and woofers for powerful Car Audio systems.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
FAQ – 2-Channel Car Amplifiers
What is a 2-channel amplifier used for?
It can power two independent channels, for example
a pair of left and right speakers or a component kit.
Which 2-channel amp for a component kit?
Compare the kit's RMS power and impedance with
the power actually delivered by the amp at that impedance.
Which power to choose: 2×100 or 2×200 W RMS?
It depends on the speakers. A moderate-power kit
does not have the same needs as a pair of high-power
midrange or woofers.
Can you connect a subwoofer to a 2-channel amp?
Some amplifiers can operate in bridged mode
to power a compatible mono load. Check the bridged
power and especially the minimum allowed impedance.
What is the difference between 2 channels and mono?
A 2-channel amp has two channels and is particularly suited
for stereo speakers. The mono amp has one channel
and is mainly used for subwoofers.
What is a bridgeable 2-channel amp?
It is an amplifier whose two channels can,
when provided by the manufacturer, be combined to power
a single load with more power.
Class D or Class AB for speakers?
Both technologies can be suitable. It is preferable
to compare performance, power, features,
dimensions, and model quality rather than class alone.
Can you power two midrange drivers with a 2-channel amp?
Yes, if their power and impedance are compatible
with the amplifier and if the filtering is correctly set.
Do you need a wiring kit to install the amp?
Yes. A standard installation requires, among other things
a power supply, a ground, fuse protection
and a way to route the audio signal to the amplifier.
