Image Dynamics SQ1200.1D 1200W Mono Block Subwoofer Amplifier
The Image Dynamics SQ1200.1D is a high-performance Class D mono block amplifier, purpose-built to power subwoofers with exceptional efficiency and precision. Delivering up to 1200 Watts RMS at 1 ohm, this amplifier ensures deep, impactful bass for demanding car audio setups. Its compact design, advanced tuning options, and robust construction make it the perfect solution for audio enthusiasts seeking reliable and powerful low-frequency performance.
Key Features
The SQ1200.1D provides robust power outputs of 400W at 4 ohms, 800W at 2 ohms, and 1200W at 1 ohm, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of subwoofers. It features adjustable subsonic and low-pass filters, allowing for precise tuning to achieve clean, distortion-free bass. The 5-way protection circuitry safeguards against thermal issues, over-voltage, under-voltage, and short circuits, ensuring safe and consistent operation. Its high damping factor delivers tight, controlled bass, enhancing the clarity and precision of low-frequency output. Additionally, balanced RCA inputs minimize noise, providing clean signal transmission for superior sound quality.
Performance and Versatility
The SQ1200.1D is designed exclusively for subwoofer amplification and delivers powerful, distortion-free bass. Its Class D efficiency ensures minimal energy loss, converting most power into clean output without generating excessive heat. The subsonic filter eliminates inaudible low frequencies that can strain subwoofers. In contrast, the low-pass filter ensures only bass frequencies are sent to the drivers, resulting in precise and controlled performance. Whether used in a single subwoofer setup or a multi-driver configuration, the amplifier delivers consistent, impactful bass tailored to your audio system's needs.
Compact and Reliable Design
The SQ1200.1D measures 2 inches in height, 12.5 inches in length, and 7 inches in width. Its compact form allows easy installation in tight spaces such as under seats or small trunk areas. Its sturdy chassis construction is built to withstand the rigors of automotive environments, including vibrations and temperature changes. The amplifier’s lightweight design simplifies installation, while the 5-way protection system ensures long-lasting durability and performance. This makes the SQ1200.1D an excellent choice for car audio enthusiasts who prioritize reliability and convenience.
Advanced Features and Customization
The amplifier has adjustable subsonic and low-pass filters, allowing users to tailor the bass response to match their preferences and subwoofer capabilities. Its remote level control provides convenient output adjustments from the driver’s seat, enabling on-the-fly tuning for different listening environments. The high damping factor ensures tight, well-controlled bass, eliminating muddiness and enhancing the clarity of low frequencies. With its advanced protection circuitry, compact design, and precision tuning capabilities, the SQ1200.1D delivers professional-grade performance for subwoofer-focused systems.

| General Specifications | |
Frequency Response Frequency Response in a car amplifier refers to the range of audio frequencies it can amplify, typically measured in Hz. For example, a response of 20Hz to 20kHz indicates the amp can handle deep bass to high treble, covering the full audible spectrum.
|
|
S/N Ratio S/N Ratio (Signal-to-Noise Ratio): A measure of an amplifier's ability to amplify audio signals relative to background noise. A higher S/N ratio indicates clearer sound, as more of the output is dedicated to the signal rather than noise.
|
|
THD+N @ Rated Power THD+N (Total Harmonic Distortion plus Noise): A measurement of the total distortion and noise introduced by an amplifier. Lower values indicate cleaner audio reproduction, as less distortion and noise affect the output signal.
|
|
Input Voltage Range Input Voltage Range: The range of voltage levels an amplifier can accept from the audio source. It determines compatibility with various head units or signal processors, ensuring optimal signal strength without distortion or clipping.
|
|
Low Pass Filter Low Pass Filter: A feature that allows only frequencies below a specified cutoff point to pass through to the subwoofer, blocking higher frequencies to ensure cleaner bass output.
|
|
Crossover Slope Crossover Slope: The rate at which frequencies are attenuated beyond the crossover point, measured in dB per octave. Steeper slopes (e.g., 24 dB/octave) provide more precise separation between frequency ranges, improving sound clarity.
|
|
Sub Sonic Filter Subsonic Filter: A filter that blocks extremely low frequencies below a set threshold, protecting subwoofers from distortion or damage caused by inaudible, power-draining bass signals.
|
|
Variable Subsonic Freq Variable Subsonic Frequency: A feature that allows adjustment of the subsonic filter's cutoff point, enabling fine-tuning to block unwanted low frequencies and optimize subwoofer performance based on system setup.
|
|
Variable Bass EQ Variable Bass EQ: A feature that allows adjustment of the bass boost level, enhancing specific low frequencies to improve bass output and tailor the sound to personal preferences or system needs.
|
|
Bass Frequency Bass Frequency: The specific frequency range, typically between 20 Hz and 250 Hz, that the bass boost or EQ controls, allowing for adjustment of low-end tones to enhance the depth and impact of the bass.
|
|
Fuse Rating Fuse Rating: The maximum current an amplifier can handle before its fuse blows, protecting the unit from damage. It indicates the amp’s power capacity and helps ensure safe operation within the electrical system.
