JL Audio® RD Car Full-range Amplifier
6 channel full-range amplifier (800 W) (RD800/6)
SLEEK, POWERFUL, PACKED WITH VALUE
The look is amazing, and the performance backs it up. This ultracompact 4-channel RD series amplifier from JL Audio is engineered to generate loads of power with exceptional efficiency and low distortion. The result: premium audio quality with significantly reduced current draw and heat.
- 12-DECIBEL/OCTAVE FILTER WITH VARIABLE HIGH-, LOW- AND BAND-PASS FILTERS
- SELECTABLE INPUT VOLTAGE: LOW (200 mV TO 2-VOLT RMS) TO HIGH (800 mV TO 8-VOLT RMS)
- 3 TURN-ON OPTIONS: +12-VOLT REMOTE WIRE, SIGNAL SENSING OR DC OFFSET
- ONBOARD LED CLIPPING INDICATOR SIMPLIFIES LEVEL SETTING
- SIGNAL ROUTING FLEXIBILITY WITH SELECTABLE INPUT MODE AND TYPE
EFFICIENT CLASS-D DESIGN
Small size, minimal heat and lots of power — Class-D amplifier design offers significant advantages. And our NexD™ switching technology adds even more, using enhanced pulse width modulation techniques to boost the amplifier’s bandwidth while minimising distortion and improving efficiency.
CLEAN, POWERFUL, RELIABLE
The 4-channel amp churns out 400 watts of total power — 100 watts from each channel into a 2-ohm load (14.4 volts, 1% THD). The 6-channel amp outputs 800 watts of total power with an additional pair of channels capable of 200 watts each into a 2-ohm load (14.4 volts, 1% THD). All RD channel pairs are bridgeable for maximum application flexibility.
STUDIO-GRADE SIGNAL PROCESSING
This RD series amplifier’s signal processing features include high- or low-pass 12-decibel/octave filters for each channel pair, with continuously variable frequency selection from 50–500 Hz. The 6-channel model offers triple high-pass filters or full 3-way crossover capability.
LED CLIPPING INDICATORS
LED clipping indicators on the control panel let you quickly set each channel pair’s input sensitivity, without the need for additional test equipment.
EASY CONNECTIVITY
With “input type” switches on the stereo channel sections, RD series amps can eliminate the need for Y-adapters when bridging stereo output channels.

FAQs
Q: How do I choose the right amplifier for my speakers or subwoofer?
A: Match the amplifier's RMS output per channel to the RMS handling of your speakers or subwoofer at the same impedance. The Specification tab lists the power figures. If in doubt, contact CEN with your setup and we will recommend a match.
Q: What wiring do I need to install this amplifier?
A: You will need an amplifier wiring kit sized to the amplifier's power draw, typically including power and earth cable, a fuse, RCA leads and a remote wire. CEN stocks complete wiring kits, and the amplifier's fuse rating is the guide to the cable gauge required.
Q: What class of amplifier is this and does it matter?
A: Class D amplifiers are compact and efficient, ideal for subwoofers and modern installs. Class AB designs are traditionally favoured for outright sound quality on mid and high frequencies. The class is listed in the Specification tab where provided.
Q: Will an amplifier work with my factory head unit?
A: Yes, in most cases. If your head unit has no RCA outputs you will need a line output converter to feed the amplifier a clean signal. CEN stocks line output converters and can advise the right one for your vehicle.
Q: Can CEN install this amplifier?
A: Yes. CEN offers professional amplifier installation from our Nottingham premises, including secure mounting, wiring and setup. Contact us to book.
