DESCRIPTION
• The Clarion DPX1001.2 two-channel amplifier provides 150 watts x2 into a 4
ohm load, 300 watts x2 of power into a 2 ohm load. and 500 watts x2 into a 1
ohm load. This full featured model is an excellent choice for a variety of car
audio sound system configurations.
• The DPX1001.2 uses an unregulated MOSFET power supply for superior
control of output wattage. A toroid-coil transformer yields maximum power
transfer with minimal heat loss. Extensive attention to circuitry design keeps
AM RFI at low levels, so you won’t hear unwanted noise when the level is
cranked up. Protection circuits safeguard the amplifier when overheating,
speaker shorts, or improper load conditions occur.
• All connections and controls of the DPX1001.2 are on the end panels and
are easy to understand. Gold-plated RCA and barrier connectors are used to
ensure the best electrical connection for your system. Included is a wired
remote sub level control (BC2) for adjusting the amplifier gain from the front of
the vehicle.
• Multimode operation is a unique feature that allows the DPX1001.2 to maxi-
mize power output at different loads. In the regular mode (loads of 4 ohm or 2
ohm stereo), the power output is 150 watts x2 into 4 ohms and 300 watts x 2
into 2 ohms. With a 1 ohm load, the power output will increase to
500 watts x 2. This feature will accommodate various system configurations.
NOTE: Activation of the 1 ohm mode will occur when the output load is 1 ohm.
The amplifier will shut down for 15 seconds and then turn back on in the 1
ohm mode. To reset this feature, the power connections must be disconnected
for 30 seconds and then reconnected.
