DC Audio 1.2K Competition Series Amplifier – 1,200 Watt Monoblock
Serious Bass Starts Here. Competition Power. DC Audio Performance.
Big bass doesn't always require the biggest amplifier. The DC Audio 1.2K Competition Series Amplifier delivers the power, performance, and tuning flexibility serious car audio enthusiasts demand in a versatile 1,200-watt monoblock design.
Engineered to produce 1,200 watts RMS at 1 ohm and 14.4 volts, the DC Audio 1.2K provides the power needed to drive high-performance subwoofers with authority. For systems operating at higher voltage, this amplifier is capable of producing up to 1,500 watts RMS at 16.0 volts.
Whether you're upgrading a factory audio system, building a powerful daily-driven bass setup, or getting started in SPL competition, the DC Audio 1.2K offers serious performance with room to grow.
And when you're ready for more power, its master/slave linking capability allows you to strap two amplifiers together for up to 3,000 watts RMS at 2 ohms and 16.0 volts.
DC Audio – Get On Our Level.
1,200 Watts RMS of Competition-Grade Power
The DC Audio 1.2K is designed to deliver reliable, high-output performance for demanding subwoofer applications.
Producing 1,200 watts RMS at 1 ohm and 14.4 volts, this competition monoblock amplifier provides substantial power for daily-driven car audio systems and entry-level SPL competition builds.
When operated at 16.0 volts, the DC Audio 1.2K can produce up to 1,500 watts RMS at 1 ohm, giving enthusiasts additional output potential with a properly designed electrical system.
Its 1-ohm-stable design provides flexibility when selecting and wiring subwoofers, making it an excellent option for a wide range of car audio installations.
Link Two Amplifiers for Up to 3,000 Watts RMS
One of the biggest advantages of the DC Audio 1.2K is its ability to grow with your system.
With master/slave amplifier linking, two compatible DC Audio 1.2K amplifiers can operate together in a strapped configuration.
At 16.0 volts, a linked pair is rated to produce up to 3,000 watts RMS at a 2-ohm combined load.
This allows you to start with a single 1.2K amplifier and expand your system later without having to replace your original amplifier.
Whether you're upgrading to larger subwoofers or building a more powerful bass system, the DC Audio 1.2K gives you the flexibility to take the next step.
Engineered for High-Performance Car Audio
1 Ohm Stable Monoblock Design
The DC Audio 1.2K is designed to operate at a minimum impedance of 1 ohm in standalone mode, allowing you to maximize its rated power output with compatible subwoofer configurations.
Variable Low-Pass Crossover
The adjustable low-pass filter allows you to control the upper frequency range sent to your subwoofers, helping create a smooth transition between your bass system and the rest of your speakers.
Adjustable Subsonic Filter
The variable subsonic filter helps reduce unwanted ultra-low-frequency content, allowing you to better match amplifier output to your enclosure design and subwoofer requirements.
Variable Bass Boost
Customize your bass response with adjustable bass boost, giving you additional control over the low-frequency performance of your system.
Wired Bass Remote Control
Adjust your bass level conveniently from the driver's seat with the included wired bass remote control.
RCA Pass-Through Connections
RCA pass-through outputs allow convenient signal routing to additional amplifiers, making it easier to expand your car audio system.
Linkable for Additional Power
The DC Audio 1.2K supports amplifier linking, allowing two compatible units to operate together for increased power output in properly configured systems.
