DS18 CANDY-X5B Full Range 5-Channel Class D Car Amplifier 2000 Watts

DS18 CANDY-X5B is a compact full-range 5-channel Class D car amplifier delivering up to 2000W peak, built for tight installs that still demand a full multi-channel system. Its compact design lets you mount it virtually anywhere in your vehicle without sacrificing performance, while delivering 4 full-range channels plus a dedicated sub output in a single chassis.

• Amplifier Class: Digital (Class D) design, enabling a compact form factor while delivering multi-channel power.
• Amplifier Type: Stereo Full Range + Subwoofer, providing separate pathways for front/rear speakers and a dedicated sub channel.
• Number of Channels: 5, allowing a complete front, rear, and sub system from one amplifier.
• Minimum Impedance: 2 ohm / 1 ohm (Sub) for the sub channel, offering flexibility with lower-impedance subs.
• Total Watts (Peak): 2000W, indicating the maximum burst capability of the unit.
• RMS Power @ 4 Ohm: 80W x 4 + 220W (Sub), mapping solid mid/high power to four channels and a robust sub channel at 4Ω.
• RMS Power @ 2 Ohm: 125W x 4 + 360W (Sub), providing increased output headroom for the main channels and sub at 2Ω.
• RMS Power @ 1 Ohm: 500W (Sub), showing sub headroom at very low impedance.
• RMS Power @ 4 Ohm Bridge: 250W x 2, enabling bridged operation for higher power to a larger sub or mono setup.
• Frequency Response: 20Hz-20kHz, covering the full audible range with consistency.
• Signal-to-Noise Ratio: >80 dB, contributing to a clean signal with low inherent noise.
• X-Over: HPF/FLAT (Fixed LPF Sub); X-Over Range 40-250Hz (50-150Hz Sub), allowing tonal shaping for mains and sub channels.
• Bass Boost: 0dB–12dB (Sub); Bass Boost Frequency Fixed at 40Hz, enabling controlled low-end lift for the sub.
• Inputs: RCA and Hi/Lo inputs, simplifying integration with aftermarket or factory audio systems.
• Remote Level Control: Yes (Remote Dash Mount), convenient sub level adjustment from the driver seat.
• Cooling: No cooling fan, relying on efficient Class D design in a compact chassis.
• Thermal Protection: Yes (>180°F), safeguarding the amp from heat buildup during demanding playback.
• Over-Load Protection: Yes, protecting output stages from sudden stress or clipping.
• DC Output Protection: No
• Short Circuit Output Protection: Yes, guarding against external faults damaging the amp.
• Voltage Input Protection: Yes (9-16V), tolerant of vehicle electrical variations.
• Input Impedance: 10K ohm, influencing compatibility with source devices.
• Finish: Black Matte
• Power Input Terminal Size: 4Ga, designed for a robust power connection.
• Fuse Size: 40A x 2, providing primary protection for power wiring.
• Remote Level Control (duplicate entry): Yes / Remote Dash Mount
• Dimensions: 11" L x 5" W x 1.87" H (280mm × 127mm × 47.5mm); Heatsink Length 9.96" (253mm)
• Weight: 5.5 (gross single unit)

In a typical 5-channel install, the CANDY-X5B supplies four full-range channels for speakers and a dedicated sub channel, with wiring flexibility across 2–4 ohms and bridged operation for higher sub output. The built-in crossover options, bass boost, and remote sub control give you precise tonal shaping without needing extensive external components, while RCA/Hi-Lo inputs simplify integration with factory systems. Protective features—thermal, over-load, short-circuit, and voltage protection—help ensure long-term reliability in daily driving and enthusiast setups.
