Car Amplifiers

A car amplifier acts as the centerpiece of any state-of-the-art sound system. To power your car's aftermarket stereo, you'll need an amplifier. Simply said, an amplifier in a car takes a weak signal from its source (the stereo) and boosts it to an audible level. 

Amplifying your speakers will allow them to reach their maximum potential, as signals from source devices are normally quite low voltage, which is good for most speakers (but not subwoofers). A source unit can power your speakers, but a subwoofer needs an amplifier. Your system's sound quality and volume will both benefit from an increase in its power.

Shop and find the best car amplifiers, audio amplifiers that include Monoblock car amps, 4-channel amplifiers, 2-channel power amps, and even 5-channel and 6-channel models. Additionally, you can find Class AB amps and shop for Class D amps for specific types of amp circuitry. If you are in need of a car amp to play music and audio directly from your phone to an amp, then check out our Bluetooth car amplifiers. They work great for old school renovators or ATV/UTV owners who want to pair directly to their system without a stereo or altering the look of the dash.

A car amplifier acts as the centerpiece to any state of the art sound system. Any audio system that features subwoofers must have at least one amp to provide enough power for the speaker to operate as it was designed. A head unit, even one with an internal amp, is simply not enough to power the subwoofers. Not all speakers require amplifiers, but they sound better when they are hooked up to one. Speakers are powered by multi-channel amplifiers, primarily 4-channel amps or 2-channel amps. Like with subwoofers, the RMS power of your amp should match, or slightly exceed that of your subs or speakers to get the best performance. This power delta is commonly referred to as "headroom" and essentially allows your speaker or sub to receive adequate power and not suffer from distorted or stressed power situations. To power more than one speaker, like a set of tweeters, midrange and subwoofers, you'll want to consider more amplifier channels, such as 3-channel amps and 5+ channel amps.

We also offer amplifier installation & accessories, wiring kits, car batteries, high output alternators, and other sound processing equipment you may need to complete your system.

Different Amplifier Class

Amplifiers are engineered to convert these electrical signals by a few different methods called “classes.” The most common amplifier classes are AB and D. 

Class AB amplifiers take up a significant amount of space and are used in Hi-Fi systems, while Class D amplifiers are known to be more efficient, can fit in tight spaces, and are the standard amplifiers used in today’s vehicles. 

Amplifier Configurations

When looking for an amplifier, it’s important to know what you intend to use it for. 

If you’re simply adding a subwoofer to your system you will only need a monoblock or a 2-channel amp. With a complete system (4 speakers and a subwoofer) your best bet is can range from a 3-channel, 4-channel, 5-channel or multi-channel amplifier. 

It is critical to the success of your sound system that you match up all of your equipment (speakers, subwoofer, source unit) with the right amplifier to make sure everything is powered properly to give you the best sound possible.

In the world of car audio, a high-quality car amplifier is an essential component for achieving exceptional sound performance. Whether you're a music aficionado or simply enjoy immersive audio during your daily commute, a car amplifier is your ticket to unparalleled sound quality. So, what exactly is a car amplifier, and why is it so crucial? A car amplifier is an electronic device designed to increase the power of audio signals sent to the speakers, ensuring that they receive sufficient power to produce clear, detailed, and distortion-free sound. It acts as a powerhouse for your car's audio system, enabling your speakers and subwoofers to perform at their best potential. Enhanced Sound Quality: One of the most significant advantages of having a car amplifier is the dramatic improvement in sound quality. The added power from the amplifier allows your speakers and subwoofers to reproduce audio with greater accuracy and clarity, resulting in a more immersive listening experience. Better Bass Response: If you crave deep, powerful bass, a car amplifier is a must-have. Amplifiers can deliver the extra power required to drive subwoofers effectively, resulting in punchier and more impactful bass performance. Reduced Distortion: When your car's audio system is underpowered, speakers may struggle to handle high volume levels, leading to distortion. With a car amplifier, the power is distributed efficiently, minimizing distortion even at high volumes. Flexibility in Speaker Selection: By using a car amplifier, you can choose from a wider range of speakers and subwoofers, as you're not limited to those that can be powered directly by the head unit. This opens up more possibilities for customizing your audio setup.

At Sonic Electronix, we take pride in offering an extensive selection of top-quality car amplifiers from leading brands. Our team of audio experts is dedicated to helping you find the perfect amplifier that matches your specific requirements.
