PA D5000.5
Super efficient class D bridgable 5-channel mobile audio amplifier
1 13/16" H x 13 5/16" W x 6 3/4" D
4.60cm H x 33.81cm W x 17.14cm D
Sleek, Compact, Powerful
The PA D5000.5 is capable of bridging two full-range channels into a single full-range channel with higher output power. For instance, the front channels (FL and FR) when wired correctly will increase the output power from 70W per channel to 200W per channel (for a 4 ohm load). The same can be done for the rear channels (RL and RR). The most common configurations are four full-range channels and a subwoofer channel, or two bridged full-range channels and a subwoofer channel.
PA D5000.5 Features:
Super-efficient class D design—Runs much cooler than conventional amps.
High-speed MOSFET switching—Power supply with outputs stable into 2 ohm loads for full range channel speakers and 1 ohm loads for subwoofer channel.
Protection—Thermal, DC offset, reverse DC voltage and short circuit protection.
Sub 1/Sub 2 Inputs—Line level inputs for subwoofer signal from head unit
SUB/INT source switch—In the INT position, the amplifier will filter the bass frequencies from the full range signal and send them to the subwoofer amplifier channel.
SUB sonic filter—Attenuates the frequencies below the settings on the control.
Remote bass level control—Set gain to match output from head unit.
Rear Full, HPF switch—Selects between no filtering or a high pass filter to dial in your speakers’ blending.
Channel mode switch (4CH/ST)—In the ST position, the amplifier sends the same signal to the front and rear channels.
Nickel-plated wire terminals & RCA connectors—Ensure maximum signal transfer.
Stainless steel hardware—Used throughout won’t corrode in humid environments.

New D series amps are smaller in design yet still deliver huge power.
Weaknesses:
none really, but I should mention the wierd design for power/ground/remote inputs. The power, ground and remote wire adapter that comes with the amp has a small hole for the typical 18 gauge remote wire but larger holes (0 gauge) for the power/ground. The stock amp holes for the power and ground are designed for a 4 gauge or smaller cable, however the remote wire hole is for a 10 gauge cable so you are forced to use the adapter that bumps the power/ground wire size up to a 0 gauge wire. Everything hooked up fine just the 4 gauge cable was small for the hole. I think they did this so the adapter would slide right into the holes...not for sure though. If you are mounting the amp at a 90 degree on a board behind the seat, the screws are a pain to get in unless you are using a magnetic screw driver or tape the screw to the screw driver. These do not hurt the overall quality of the amp just a few frustrations I came across when installing it.
Review:
Amp is doing great so far! I have it pushing four Polk DXI6500 component speakers in my crew cab Chevrolet Silverado and one Kicker 2ohm 10" sub rated at 400 watts rms. Amp is no where near maxed out and the system sounds great! There is no road noise in the system and it is paired with a Pioneer AVH-P4300DVD HU.
