Violator Audio VA5500.1 5,500 Watt Monoblock Amplifier

Violator Audio VA5500.1 is a 1‑channel monoblock amplifier delivering 2050W RMS at 1 Ω, built for extreme subwoofer applications. Designed in the USA, it pairs a rugged aluminum heat sink with hardware‑level power delivery and flexible bass shaping for demanding car‑audio builds.

• RMS Power @ 4 Ω: 740W — steady, clean power into typical 4‑ohm subs, providing strong bass grip without excessive heat under normal conditions.
• RMS Power @ 2 Ω: 1300W — higher current capability for lower impedance subs, resulting in more dynamic headroom and deeper bass at higher listening levels.
• RMS Power @ 1 Ω: 2050W — maximum sustained output into very low impedance loads, demanding a robust electrical system and cooling for sustained performance.
• THD: 0.88% — low distortion at rated power, helping bass stay tight and clear even during concert‑like transients.
• S/N Ratio: 99dB — a higher signal‑to‑noise ratio reduces hiss and noise in the sub region for cleaner bass presentment.
• Frequency Response: 13 Hz – 232 Hz — extends into sub‑bass while staying focused on bass region, useful for tight, controlled low end.
• LPF Range: 58 Hz – 232 Hz — adjustable low‑pass to constrain the amp’s upper bass frequencies for precise voicing of the sub(s).
• Subsonic Filter Range: 13 Hz – 57 Hz — removes ultra‑low content that can waste power and strain drivers, preserving woofer control.
• Bass Boost: 60 Hz; 0 dB / 6 dB / 12 dB — selectable boost at 60 Hz to add punch without overloading the rest of the system.
• Input Sensitivity Range: 6 VAC – 0.2 VAC — defines the input signal level required to reach full output, guiding source and processor choices.
• Input Voltage Range: 9VDC – 16VDC — compatible with typical vehicle electrical systems and their fluctuations.
• Protection & Build: Thermal Protection, Dead Short Protection, Low Voltage Protection; Custom Machined Aluminum Heat Sink; Nickel Plated Connects — protects the amp and ensures reliable heat dissipation and conductivity in harsh automotive environments.
• Filters & Customization: Variable Adjustable High Pass Filtration, Variable Adjustable Low Pass Filtration, Comprehensive Band-Pass Customization, Panel‑Locking RCA Inputs, Bass Knob on Monoblock Models — offers flexible Voicing to match subwoofers and vehicle acoustics.

Benefits: In a dedicated subwoofer install, the VA5500.1 provides high‑current, low‑distortion power with precise filtering, enabling tight, impactful bass without overloading the cabin or subs. The combination of adjustable HPF/LPF and subsonic filters lets you tailor the bass to each vehicle and sub choice, while the protective circuitry and rugged heat sink support reliable, long‑term performance under demanding listening sessions. Secure panel‑locking inputs and nickel‑plated connections ensure solid, repeatable connections for serious installations.
