Wavtech link1000.5plus 5 Channel Amplifier

The Wavtech link1000.5plus is a 1000-watt 5-channel amplifier. Its four main channels produce 75 watts RMS each at 4 ohms and 125 watts RMS each at 2 ohms, with any pair bridgeable to 250 watts RMS at 4 ohms. The dedicated subwoofer channel produces 300 watts RMS at 4 ohms and 500 watts RMS at 2 ohms.

The subwoofer channel on the link1000.5plus produces 300 watts RMS at 4 ohms and 500 watts RMS at 2 ohms. Unlike most 5-channel amplifiers, which treat the subwoofer channel as an afterthought, the link1000.5plus gives it enough power to drive a typical single 10-inch or 12-inch subwoofer without needing a separate monoblock amplifier.

Yes. The link1000.5plus is designed as a complete-system amplifier, with four main channels for front and rear speakers plus a dedicated subwoofer channel, all in one chassis measuring 11.9 by 5.5 by 1.65 inches. The four main channels run a front and rear stage while the subwoofer channel handles bass, so a full system fits under a seat without stacking multiple amplifiers.

The link1000.5plus provides per-channel crossover flexibility. Channels 1 and 2 have a variable high-pass crossover at 12dB per octave with a 1x/10x multiplier. Channels 3 and 4 have a variable high-pass, band-pass, or low-pass crossover at 12dB per octave. Channel 5 carries the bassFREQ processor with a variable 24dB per octave low-pass crossover, a variable 24dB per octave subsonic filter, and an adjustable parametric EQ.

Built-in summing recombines the separate signals a factory system sends to different speakers into a usable signal, directly inside the amplifier. The link1000.5plus accepts up to six channels of input and sums them internally, which is useful because many modern factory systems split frequencies across speakers instead of sending a full-range output. This eliminates the need for a separate external summing processor.

Yes. The link1000.5plus is built for factory integration with 40V hi-level input capability and Adaptive OEM Load Technology, so it accepts high-level signal directly from demanding factory amplifiers. Its differential balanced inputs reject system noise and its built-in summing handles factory systems that distribute frequencies across multiple channels, making it well suited to premium OEM audio systems.

Yes, with the optional linkRC remote level control. The linkRC connects to the link1000.5plus and adjusts the subwoofer channel output from the front of the vehicle, so bass level can be matched to different music or listening situations on the fly. The linkRC is sold separately.

The link1000.5plus uses 4-gauge power and ground terminals, so run 4-gauge power and ground cable to the amplifier. Install an appropriately rated fuse near the battery positive terminal to protect the power cable, and ground the amplifier to clean, bare chassis metal. Give it room to breathe when mounting under a seat, since Active Thermal Management works best with airflow around the chassis.
