US Acoustics Mono Class D Series
Everybody likes Mike. 1500 watts RMS at 1 ohm of clean, controlled Class D bass with a full control set and an electrical footprint you can actually live with.
The US Acoustics Mike is a 1-ohm stable Class D monoblock rated at 375 watts RMS into 4 ohms, 750 watts RMS into 2 ohms, and 1500 watts RMS into 1 ohm, all at 14.4 volts. It is the entry point to the US Acoustics mono Class D line, and it is built to be the amplifier most systems actually need: enough power for a single subwoofer or a matched pair, with the control to make that bass clean rather than just loud.
Mike keeps the numbers honest where it counts. Total harmonic distortion stays below 0.1 percent, signal-to-noise sits above 101 dB, and the damping factor is greater than 250 at 100 Hz into 4 ohms. That combination of low distortion and strong cone control is why this amp earns its name: it is easy to like and easy to live with.
The 24 dB per octave low-pass filter sweeps from 10 to 150 Hz, a steep, clean handoff that keeps the subwoofer focused on bass and nothing above it.
The adjustable subsonic filter protects subwoofers in ported enclosures from over-excursion below tuning frequency. Set it just under box tuning and your woofers stay safe when the music drops below where the box stops working for them.
Variable bass boost from 0 to +12 dB at 50 Hz, with the wired remote included so you can ride the bass level from the driver's seat track by track.
Ultra efficient Class D design means Mike draws less current and makes less heat than a Class AB amplifier of similar output, and the onboard 4 x 40A fusing reflects a current demand most vehicles can support without an exotic electrical build. A thermally stable heat sink and extreme bulk capacitor banks hold output steady through hard, repeated bass. At 14.1 inches long it fits far more installs than the big-power monos.
Match it to the right enclosure: Mike pairs naturally with a single subwoofer or a matched pair wired to 1 or 2 ohms. Our Proline X enclosures are CNC-cut in Tullahoma, Tennessee and matched to specific subwoofers, and ported builds benefit directly from Mike's adjustable subsonic filter. Tell us your subwoofer and we will spec the box.
Extra large gauge terminals accept proper power wire, Docking Pads reduce vibration transfer to extend amplifier life, and full protection circuitry covers DC, short circuit, thermal, and overload conditions with diagnostic LEDs. Every Mike sold by Audio Intensity is brand new from US Acoustics with a 2-year warranty through authorized dealers.
Audio Intensity ships the US Acoustics Mike fast from Tullahoma, Tennessee, with real installer support before and after the sale. Tell us your subwoofer and vehicle and we will tell you honestly whether Mike is the right power level and how to wire it for daily reliability.
