🔧 Class D Topology Excellence
High-Efficiency Switching Design
Advanced Class D architecture operates at significantly higher efficiency than Class AB designs, typically achieving 75-85% efficiency versus 50-60%. This translates to less wasted energy as heat, cooler operating temperatures, reduced electrical system strain, and more power available for your subwoofers—crucial for sustained high-output performance.
Reduced Thermal Management Requirements
Lower heat generation allows for more compact amplifier design without sacrificing power output or reliability. The efficient Class D topology means less demand on cooling systems, extended component lifespan, and the ability to sustain maximum output for longer durations without thermal limiting—essential for competition use and extended listening sessions.
Optimized Current Delivery
Class D switching technology delivers exceptionally clean DC power conversion, maintaining consistent voltage rails under demanding load conditions. This ensures your subwoofers receive stable, undistorted power even during complex bass passages with high dynamic range, preserving transient response and low-frequency detail that defines high-quality bass reproduction.
Low-Impedance Stability
Engineered for stable operation down to 1Ω loads, the MAGMA delivers full rated power into demanding subwoofer configurations. This low-impedance capability enables flexible system design with multiple subwoofers or dual voice coil configurations, maximizing your cone area and output potential without requiring multiple amplifiers.
🎛️ Comprehensive Filter Suite
Variable Low-Pass Filter (40-4000Hz)
Precisely adjustable low-pass crossover allows you to seamlessly integrate your subwoofer system with front stage speakers. The wide 40-4000Hz range accommodates everything from deep subterranean bass to midbass frequencies, ensuring smooth frequency response transitions and preventing overlap that causes muddy, indistinct bass response in your vehicle's unique acoustic environment.
High-Pass Filter Integration (20-4000Hz)
Built-in high-pass filtering protects your subwoofers from subsonic frequencies below their operational range while enabling precise frequency distribution in complex multi-amplifier systems. This versatility allows the MAGMA to drive midbass speakers or smaller subwoofers in multi-amp configurations, expanding installation flexibility and system design options.
Subsonic Filter Protection
Dedicated subsonic filter removes inaudible ultra-low frequencies that waste amplifier power and cause excessive cone excursion without producing audible output. This intelligent protection preserves your subwoofer's mechanical integrity, prevents bottoming that damages voice coils, and ensures maximum available power is dedicated to frequencies you can actually hear and feel.
Variable Bass Boost Enhancement
Adjustable bass boost allows you to add controlled low-frequency emphasis to compensate for vehicle cabin acoustics or personal preference. Unlike simple EQ, this amplifier-level boost provides clean, distortion-free output enhancement that maintains the MAGMA's exceptional sonic quality while delivering the visceral impact enthusiasts crave in bass-focused systems.

🔧 Installation & System Integration
Electrical System Requirements
The MAGMA's 2200W output demands robust electrical infrastructure. Minimum recommendations include: 250A fuse protection at the battery, 1/0 AWG (50mm²) power and ground cables with runs under 20 feet, high-output alternator (200A+) for sustained full-power operation, and upgraded battery capacity or auxiliary battery for competition use. Proper electrical system design ensures the amplifier receives clean, stable voltage for optimal performance.
Thermal Management
Despite Class D efficiency, proper cooling remains essential for longevity and consistent performance. Mount the amplifier in locations with adequate airflow—avoid enclosed spaces without ventilation. The compact 460×170×70mm footprint fits most installation locations, but maintain 2-3 inches clearance around the heatsink for convection cooling. In extreme SPL applications, consider supplemental cooling fans for sustained maximum output during competition runs.
Subwoofer Matching & Configuration
The MAGMA excels with 1Ω final impedance loads for maximum power delivery. Recommended configurations: single 1Ω DVC subwoofer (dual 2Ω voice coils in parallel), two 2Ω SVC subwoofers in parallel, two 4Ω DVC subwoofers (each wired to 2Ω, then paralleled to 1Ω), or four 4Ω SVC subwoofers in parallel. Always verify your final impedance matches amplifier stability ratings for safe, distortion-free operation.
Signal Chain Optimization
Maximize sonic performance through proper gain structure: set source unit volume to 75-80% maximum undistorted output, adjust MAGMA gain control using test tones or dynamic music until output just reaches clean maximum, utilize low-pass filter to blend subwoofer with front stage (typically 60-80Hz for most systems), engage subsonic filter to protect subwoofers (set 5-10Hz below tuning frequency), and adjust bass boost last if needed—proper gain structure eliminates the need for excessive boost.
