A Goldhorn DSPA is a DSP processor and an amplifier in one chassis. Instead of running a standalone processor into separate amps, the DSPA does the crossovers, time alignment and parametric EQ and drives the speakers from the same unit, which is the simplest path to a fully tuned active system. It is the all-in-one answer for a build that wants Goldhorn processing without a separate amplifier rack.
The line scales by channel count and power. The entry DSPA 206 and 406 are Class AB six-channel units for a straightforward front-stage-plus-sub build. The Pro and Plus tiers move to Class D and higher channel counts for active three-way systems, up to the 24-channel DSPA 1216 Plus. The Ultra-tier DSPA units live in the Goldhorn Ultra collection.
Every new DSPA we stock, by DSP channel count, amplifier configuration and class. DSP channels are the processing outputs; the amplifier figure is the onboard power.
| Model | DSP Channels | Amplifier | Class | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DSPA 206 | 6 Ch | 4 × 50W | AB | $349.99 |
| DSPA 406 | 6 Ch | 4 × 65W | AB | $399.99 |
| DSPA 816 Pro | 16 Ch | 8 × 80W | D | $999.99 |
| DSPA 1012 Plus | 20 Ch | 8 × 80W + 2 × 150W | D | $1,299.99 |
| DSPA 1216 Plus | 24 Ch | 8 × 80W + 4 × 150W | D | $1,599.99 |
The 206 and 406 are the accessible Class AB entry, six channels for a passive front stage plus a sub. The 816 Pro steps to 16-channel processing and Class D power for an active build. The 1012 Plus and 1216 Plus add hybrid power, dedicated higher-wattage channels for the subwoofer alongside the eight full-range channels, for a complete active system on one chassis. Every model publishes its full processing and connection detail on its product page.
The DSPA is the one-box path: less wiring, one power supply, one tune. A separate DSP feeding dedicated amplifiers gives more power and lets each stage be upgraded on its own, at the cost of space and complexity. For most active builds the DSPA is the cleaner install. See the pure-processing units and DSD players in the full Goldhorn collection.
A DSPA runs the whole signal chain, so match it to the drivers it feeds. The front stage lives in component sets, the bass in car subwoofers, and gain and tuning are what protect all of it. As the Original US Importer of Goldhorn, we configure the channel count and the crossover set for your build before you buy.
A DSP is a standalone processor: it does the crossovers, time alignment and EQ and outputs a signal to separate amplifiers. A DSPA combines that processing with an onboard amplifier in one chassis, so it drives the speakers directly. The DSPA is the all-in-one path for a build that wants Goldhorn processing without a separate amplifier rack; the standalone DSP is the choice when you want to keep or upgrade your amplifiers separately.
Channel count follows your speaker topology. A passive front stage plus a subwoofer needs about 6 channels, which the DSPA 206 and 406 cover. An active two-way front stage plus rear and sub wants 8 to 10. An active three-way front stage plus sub needs the higher processing counts of the 816 Pro, 1012 Plus and 1216 Plus. Count the drivers you want to control independently, then match the channel count.
Both, depending on the tier. The DSPA 206 and 406 use Class AB amplification. The DSPA 816 Pro, 1012 Plus and 1216 Plus use Class D, which is more efficient and runs cooler for the higher channel counts and power. The 1012 Plus and 1216 Plus add higher-wattage channels for the subwoofer alongside the full-range channels.
Yes, in most cases. Most Goldhorn DSPA units accept high-level, speaker-level input from a factory head unit in addition to RCA line input and optical digital input, so they integrate with a factory system without a separate line converter. For OEM integration specific to your vehicle, send us the make, model and year.
Yes. Audio Intensity is the Original US Importer of Goldhorn. Every DSPA carries the full manufacturer warranty handled directly through us, and we provide the configuration and tuning support to go with it.
