ELITE.2, 2 channel amplifier delivers massive power and quality in either a two speaker build or bridged for single or multiple subwoofer installation. Featuring 8 Sanken dual package output devices (more commonly found in the high end home audio amplifiers) that are more than 12 times faster and cover two and a half times more surface area to transfer heat, than standard amplifier output devices, resulting in the highest possible sound quality, dynamic performance and reliability available in a car audio amplifier. The result is musical perfection with enhanced tonal accuracy and true timbre.

Premium Build Quality for Ultra Performance
- Burr Brown op-amps provide ultra low distortion and maximum resolution in the pre-amp circuitry and combined with Monolithic audiophile-grade signal capacitors provide frequency response past 50kHz
- High current nickel plated buss bars connections ensure proper energy transfer
- Legendary Phoenix Gold massive dual unregulated power supplies are built for dynamic headroom and to drive low 1ohm impedance loads
- Ultra low ESR and high energy secondary capacitors deliver maximum dynamic performance
- Nickle plated panel mounted RCA connections ensure signal purity and provide a high quality connection
- Clip light indicators ensure the amplifier reaches maximum undistorted output
- Sanken Dual Package Output Devices (more commonly found in the high end home audio amplifiers) are more than 12 times faster and cover two and a half times more surface area to transfer heat, than standard amplifier output devices, resulting in the highest possible sound quality, dynamic performance and reliability available in a car audio amplifier
- Power supply transformers are hand wound, featuring a third windings (as opposed to the standard two) to ensure higher efficiency and lower operating temperatures
- High temperature and heavy duty “Tombstone” balancing resistors buffer the Sanken output devices
Chassis Features
- The fan cooling system is ultra quiet and its speed is temperature controlled. Air is forced across the internal heatsink and exhausts out the sides. The end user has the option to manually control the fan mode via the end panel switch
- Extruded Aluminum Heatsink with Evenflow Technology
- Exhaust vents are built into the endcaps. Airflow from the cooling system is pushed across the internal heatsink fins and exhausts out the side vents
- The power supply is loaded with 16 IRF-3205 high current and high speed MOSFETs. They are clamped to the heatsink using precision aluminum extrusions for dual heatsinking and lower power supply operating temperatures
Total Control of Your Music Output
Variable filters on each channel allow you to fine tune your musical output to the precision you demand. All crossovers feature aluminum shaft precision potentiometers with 41 detents for exact crossover frequency selection.
- Instruments and vocals are passed through with clarity to your front and rear channels with a Front/Rear High Pass Crossover Range of 20Hz to 4kHz
- With a Rear Low Pass Crossover Range of 40Hz to 4kHz, you get quality lower bass notes and Rear Band Pass Crossover Range of 20Hz to 4kHz for midrange or midbass in active applications
