Taking the Polk Audio PA Series Into the Digital Era
The PA D2000.2 is Polk Audio's new high-efficient digital 2-channel amplifier. This amplifier is perfect for when looking to amplify a set of high quality car speakers or even entry level subwoofers within the respective ohm power rating. For example running a Polk Audio DB1040DVC in parallel to a final impedance of 2 ohms is entirely possible with this amplifier and since you have two channels you can actually run 2 of those subs, each to its own channel. This 2-channel amplifier gives you a variety options to better suit your own personal needs.
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.

I ordered this amp on a decision that it is cheap and has the 500rms I wanted. Plus I feel Polk Audio brand should be good enough to do the job.
Man...I was wrong. IT DID ONE HELL OF A JOB!
Obviously 500rms means power, but it isn't just SPL that this incredibly small Polk Audio amp provides; it provides superb subbass definition I have since long forgotten! I admit I wasn't expecting such a high sound quality out of this amp, but hearing is believing and this amp delivers! My subwoofer is AVI Sound SLS300, a high end subwoofer that once upon a time was paired with DLS Ultimate amp. This baby Polk did just as good if not better thanks to the higher power rating. It is just incredible.
Build quality is awesome too. It feels well made and solid with a nice weight to it. The piano black finish is gorgeous, and connection is very very good. The size? My goodness it is a blessing. The price? Ummm, if I said it I fear Sonic will jack up the price!
I suggests one thing for all of you guys wanting a high quality amp be it for front speakers or subwoofer; buy this amp!
I cannot say about reliability, but thus far I never blown an amp so maybe it is down to installation. Hell, why not, I just gonna give it 5/5 because this product truly impressed me.
Thank you to Sonic Electronix for the awesome delivery too!

After reading online about the issues faced by high frequency reproduction and class d technology I was skeptical whether these amps would perform well at high volume/high frequency. While my setup may not be quite audiophile grade, the addition of this amp has definitely brought it up a peg.
Seeing the Polk class D would run cooler and take up less space for the power, I bit the bullet and ordered. I am a believer now! This amp sounds great! While my Infinity Kappa 6x8's have always been a little on the bright side, they play much smoother than the other amps I've tried. Also, after playing the system at near full volume for 2hrs, the amp barely gets warm. Awesome!
May or may not be audiophile grade, but for anyone with a half way decent setup (aftermarket amps and speakers) will most likely be satisfied! I wouldn't let the amp class decide for you, get to your local audio shop and test one out today!!
By the way, did I mention the band-pass filter with the x10 multiplier? I think Polk just got a new #1 fan!!
P.S. I have only heard about Polk durability... gave it 5 stars
Settings have no graduated marks ... 4 stars

I bought this with the PAD1000.1 for a new install. Driving a set of SR6500's. I have never had these speakers sound so good. Auditioned with some Duffy, Adele and then to see how they handle a pounding, some Five Finger. Nice, tight midrange and the vocals are breath taking with this new D series amp. Like the other PAD, this amp runs COOL over a long long period. The clarity of this amp is just nothing short of amazing. The SR6500's really shine with this amp. Did I mention how tiny this thing is? You can install it anywhere. Same heavy duty 1/0 accepting power connection and a beautiful finish. State of the art in all aspects. This amp cannot dissappoint.
