The TD5X delivers more power than anyone will ever need – 3,000 Wmax! It has four channels for front and rear imaging (over 100 Wrms per channel) and a fifth subwoofer channel with output of over 400 Wrms to deliver the best bass you can dream of. The TD5X is easy to install thanks to a low-profile heatsink fits into small areas while an auto-sensing option eliminates the need to run a remote turn-on wire from the head unit to the amplifier. Simply plug in the RCAs and the TD5X automatically turns on when it senses music and, then, shuts itself off when there’s no music for 20 minutes.
