4-Channel Class D Full-Range Amplifier

The JL Audio RD400/4 is a sleek, modern 4-channel amplifier from the RD series, designed for "do-it-yourself" audiophiles who want high performance with an easy setup. Using NexD high-speed switching technology, it delivers 400 Watts of total RMS power in a compact, efficient design. The RD400/4 is known for its "all-on-one-side" connection layout and top-mounted controls, making it very installer-friendly.

It features integrated LED clipping indicators for every channel pair. These lights allow you to set the gain (input sensitivity) to the exact point of maximum clean power without needing an oscilloscope. It also includes a durable black powder-coated finish and a top-mounted LED light strip that indicates the amplifier's overall status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)


Check your battery voltage and remote turn-on lead. The RD400/4 requires at least 10V to power up. If the voltage is lower, the amp will stay off. Also, verify that the 40A main fuse near the battery hasn't blown.
Play a 1kHz test tone at 3/4 volume. Turn the "Input Sens." up until the LED turns red, then back it off slightly until it turns off. This ensures maximum clean power without risking speaker damage or distortion.
This indicates a continuous "Over Current" condition, often caused by a short circuit in the speaker wiring or a speaker impedance that is too low. Check for loose wire strands touching the vehicle chassis or other terminals.
Yes. Set the "Turn-On Mode" switch to "DC" or "Signal." This allows the amp to sense the audio signal from your factory wires and turn on automatically, eliminating the need for a separate 12V remote lead.
Yes. Connect the positive (+) of the sub to the Left+ terminal and the negative (-) to the Right- terminal of each channel pair. Ensure each subwoofer has a minimum impedance of 4 ohms to prevent the amp from entering protection mode.
If the LED is solid Red, it is in thermal protection. Ensure there is at least 1 inch of clearance above the amp for airflow. Avoid mounting it upside down or in small, unventilated spaces where heat can build up.
This usually signals a recurring over-current fault. Inspect your speaker wires for any "pinched" areas where the insulation might be worn, or use a multimeter to ensure your speakers aren't dropping below 2 ohms per channel.
For the RD400/4, 4 AWG 100% pure copper wire is highly recommended to prevent voltage drops. While 8 AWG may work for very short runs (under 10ft), 4 AWG ensures the amp gets the current it needs to perform at its full 400W rating.

Great Deal on a great product

I could not be happier with this amp. True quality from top to bottom. The sound is fantastic. I used this as a full range four channel amp to drive four kicker speakers. It gets its signal from the factory Nissan HU which is a very low quality HU in my opinion. I decided to try to keep the factory HU due to the factory steering wheel controls, bluetooth and stock look for theft deterrent appearance. I found the front channels on the HU clipped out way early compared to the rear when setting up the amp. So i switched the amp to 2 channel input / four channel output the set it up with the clip lights ....and perfection! What a great feature. I am very happy.

Excellent price Great power

This amp was a great price and I love the convenience in size. I replaced my factory amp and the Boston acoustic speakers now sound like high-end audio. Very easy to install and with the new clipping feature I have no issues. Will be buying another soon.

Open box saved me $70

JL lives up to their reputation again. Replaced my kicker 4 channel with this amp. A smaller footprint operates at a cooler temperature, and all of the wirings is on one side for cleaner wire installation.

Sounds good for the money

Using this in conjunction with an RD1500 in a regular cab Silverado. Not yet installed but it is running on my test bench on a set of Kicker's bookshelf demo speakers. Good, clean sound and plenty of power while running in 2 channel mode.

Shipping and customer service experience was not what I expected; both were slower than promised. Product is great.
