Taking the Polk Audio PA Series Into the Digital Era

The PA D1000.1 is Polk Audio's new high-efficient digital monoblock amplifier. This amplifier is able to power handle at 4 ohms, 2 ohms, and even 1 ohm. With this many different ohm ratings this monoblock amplifier is sure to fit any application or installation that you are seeking. Anything from mid-level subwoofers at the 4 ohm rating to high-end heavy bass hitting subwoofers at the 1 ohm rating.

How does Polk Audio improve on their already popular and very well known PA series amplifiers? With technology advances Polk Audio has taken their PA series into the digital amplification. This means a smaller foot print, a super-efficient design which allows for lower power consumption and does away with a larger power supply. This allows the new digital PA series amplifiers to run far more efficiently with lower distortion and cutting or clipping. The new PA Digital series amplifiers are available in a monoblock, 2-channel, 4-channel, and 5-channel configuration making them accessible for any application. With a height of under 2 inches for all four configurations these amplifiers also offer a mounting convenience making them practically perfect for any vehicle. All four configurations feature a 4-way protection circuitry and stainless steel hardware that will not corrode, giving the amplifier longevity and a sleek and stylish look. Polk Audio is a known and trusted company and with these new PA Digital series amplifiers not only are you getting the high Polk Audio quality, you are now getting the quality in a very high and efficient digital range.

Highly recommended! Very small footprint. Running incredibly cool given I have it enclosed in a spare tire well with another D series amp and its running at 1 Ohm. After 2 hours of hard hitting 2 12" Polk SR DVC's its still barely warm! Amazing really. Hits HARD and CLEAN. Used some Five Finger Death Punch to see just how well it and the SR's can keep up and not sound muddy and I was very very pleased. Look wonderful with the blue LED's atop. Very nice and heavy duty wire connection for up to 1/0 cable. Cant say enough good things about this new addition to the Polk line. Buy it, you will NOT regret it.
Oh and the remote bass knob is icing on the cake, so nice to just be able to tweak down some of those hard hitting mixes you were not expecting.
