Here at Sound Depot and Performance, we are always on the lookout for innovative products that will meet the wide variety of needs that our clients have. The powersports audio category is growing as more people want to take their music with them off-road. The JL Audio HX280/4 is a great amplifier for those installations, and can handle that kind environment, giving you a solid amp that can take the abuse and sounds great, too!
Water Resistant
The first thing you want from an amplifier for an off-road vehicle is to make sure it is water-resistant to handle the humidity, splashes from water crossings and unexpected downpours that it will encounter. This amp meets the requirements for IPX6 water resistance, and is in a corrosion-resistant aluminum chassis.
Small Size
The next thing you want is a small package that can fit in the tight spaces on your ATV, motorcycle or other alternative vehicle. This amp comes in at 8-11/16″ x 1-13/16″ x 3-1/8″ so it will fit in places where other amps will not.
Efficiency
The next major requirement of an off-road amplifier is efficiency. The JL Audio NextD Class D design will give you the maximum output, with the least current draw, on the generally small charging systems of most ATV, SxS or motorcycle applications. It will deliver as much as 70 W x 4 into a 2 ohm load with a fraction of the current draw and heat of a traditional amplifier.
Benefits Beyond Powersports Features
Once you get past the powersports features, you are left with a very flexible amplifier for designing a system. You have the ability to use pre-amp or speaker level inputs to get the signal in from a variety of sources. The amp will do 70 W x 4 into 2 ohms, 50 W x 4 into 4 ohms, and will bridge to two channels at 140 W x 2 at 4 ohms. The built-in crossover will allow you full range, high pass or low pass – with a useful range of frequencies.
