JL Audio MX Marine & Powersports Amplifier - 4 Channel Full Range 500W Amplifier (MX500/4)
4-Channel Class D Full-Range Amplifier 500W
No matter how you like to take to the water, MX amplifiers are ready to power your soundtrack with great JL Audio sound.
Engineered for versatility, MX amplifiers employ our ultra-efficient NexD switching technologies to generate loads of high-fidelity sound, without straining small charging systems.
Housed in compact, cast-aluminium chassis, MX amps are water-resistant (IPX7 rated) and can go where conventional 12V amplifiers wouldn’t dare. Crossover filters and signal processing features are standard, allowing for easy set-up and system flexibility.
Engineered specifically for powersports applications, the 4-channel MX500/4 amplifier employs our high-speed NexD switching design to deliver plenty of clean power, without straining charging systems. Its tiny, cast aluminium chassis is highly resistant to corrosion, with an IPX7 water-resistance rating, making it perfect for motorcycles, ATV’s or other utility vehicles.
Generating a solid 70W x 4 into 4 ohms (14.4V, 1% THD), the MX500/4 is fully bridgeable, so it can be used as a 3-channel amplifier, or as a 2-channel amplifier producing a potent 250W x 2 into 4 ohms.
Other features include independent front and rear crossovers with selectable full-range, high-pass or low-pass filter controls and a dual-range input section that accepts a wide range of input voltage levels, from line-level all the way to high-power speaker level signals.
This amplifier features a rugged powder-coated finish, a gasketed cover for the controls and stainless steel hardware for durability.
