Hidden Power with Cerwin-Vega's Stealth Amplfiers

Cerwin-Vega's STEALTH500.1 monoblock amplifier is rated at 200W x 1 channel @ 4 ohms, 325W x 1 channel @ 4 ohms, and 500W x 1 channel at 1 ohm. These power ratings make this amplifier the perfect solution for when looking to amplify a new set of subwoofes (such as the HED or VMAX series subwoofes). Most importantly the Stealth series amplifier features a compact chassis that minimizes the foot print of the amplifier making it easier to mount just about anywhere inside a vehicle. So even if space is limited you can still get that Cerwin-Vega power with an amplifier half the size. The amplifier features a Thermal Management System that monitors internal thermal temperature by reducing power output when the amplifier begins to overheat. This gives the amplifier the ability to have a better flow of uninterrupted power allowing you to play your music for longer periods of time. The amplifier also features low-pass and sub-sonic filters that allow a finer tuning of all frequencies that will let you adjust your sound reproduction to better meet your needs. Stealth amplifiers utilize a full range class D chip set that improves the efficient and reliability of the amplifier and reduces the amount of noise or other sonic issues. So if you are looking for an amplifier that can fit under your seat but can still provide enough power to sufficiently run your devices, then look no further than Cerwin-Vega's STEALH500.1 car amplifier.

Perfect!

The following review is for a previous version (SX500.1).

At first I was skeptical because of its size and because it was only a 500W amp, but wow, it's definitely the best amp I've ever owned. It's powering two 12" Sony X-Plod subs perfectly. The price isn't bad, either. I'd definitely recommend it!
