Description
The DC Audio 5.0k is a 5000-watt mono block amplifier built for extreme subwoofer applications, delivering 1 ohm stability and the option to be linked for added headroom in paired configurations. It includes a bass knob and clipping indicator for precise, real-time level monitoring in demanding installs.
- 1 Ω stability: Designed to deliver high current into demanding subs, enabling tight bass response at low impedance without common instability issues.
- Linked operation: Can be paired with a second unit for higher total output, scaling power in larger systems and providing flexibility for multi-sub setups.
- Output Power (RMS) across impedances: 900x1 @ 4 Ω @14.4V; 2300x1 @ 2 Ω @14.4V; 5000x1 @ 1 Ω @14.4V; 10000x1 @ 2 Ω @14.4V; Linked 6000x1 @ 1 Ω @16V; 12000x1 @ 2 Ω @16V; Linked 7300x1 @ 1 Ω @18V; 14600x1 @ 2 Ω @18V.
- Variable low pass filter: 24 dB/octave crossover to tailor the upper frequency limit of your subwoofer signal for cleaner deep bass and reduced midrange muddiness.
- Variable subsonic filter: 10 Hz–50 Hz control helps remove pre-below-sub bass content, tightening bass and reducing speaker stress for large enclosures.
- Bass boost @45 Hz: 0–9 dB adjustment lets you fine-tune low-end emphasis to match vehicle acoustics and subwoofers.
- RCA Pass Thru: Pass-through output lets you split the signal to additional amplifiers or processors without extra adapters.
- Remote control: Wired remote included for easy volume and bass management from the driver's seat.
- Clipping indicator: Visual alert when signal is hitting limits, helping prevent speaker damage from overdrive.
- Power and Ground Inputs: Dual 1/0 AWG inputs plus 8 AWG speaker terminals support high-current wiring for minimal voltage drop.
- Full spec highlights: Input sensitivity 6V–0.2V; frequency response 20 Hz–250 Hz; 24 dB/Octave crossover; THD @ 4Ω < 0.1%; SNR 100 dB; damping factor listed as 200<; external fuse rating 250 A × 2; Master/Slave capable; LED Power/Protect indicators; heatsink 25.596" L × 9.38" W × 2.35" H (650 mm × 238 mm × 59.6 mm).
Benefits: This amplifier excels in high-power, single-sub or dual-sub configurations where peak control and headroom are essential. Its 1 Ω stability and linked capability suit large bass installations requiring substantial wattage with clean signal transfer, while the bass management features—low pass, subsonic filter, and adjustable bass boost—allow precise tuning to vehicle acoustics. The included bass knob, clipping indicator, and remote control give real-time, in-cabin adjustments without climbing back to the trunk, and the dual 1/0 AWG inputs plus robust cooling from a sizable heatsink support reliable, long-duration operation in demanding builds.
