About the Phoenix Gold ZQ15001
From our tech experts at CEN
The Phoenix Gold ZQ15001 is a monoblock Class D subwoofer amplifier from the ZQ Series, delivering up to 1500W RMS at 1 ohm (1000W at 2 ohm, 650W at 4 ohm). It measures 280 x 200 x 56mm and uses 24K gold-plated terminals with Nichicon and Wima capacitors for a clean power supply. Low EMI emissions prevent interference with your vehicle's electronics.
Who it suits
This amp suits enthusiasts building a high-end car audio system around a subwoofer, with enough headroom to grow the install over time. The adjustable low-pass filter (40–250Hz), subsonic filter and up to +18dB bass boost allow precise tuning. Those needing less output may prefer the Phoenix Gold ZR10001, rated at 1000W RMS.
Our tech experts advise
The ZQ15001 runs on 11–15V, making it compatible with a standard 12V car electrical system. Check your subwoofer's rated impedance before setting the output — running at 1 ohm demands stable wiring and a healthy battery. Installation is priced per vehicle; speak to our Nottingham installation team for a tailored quote.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
Q: How much power does the Phoenix Gold ZQ15001 produce?
A: The ZQ15001 delivers 650W RMS at 4 ohms, 1000W RMS at 2 ohms and 1500W RMS at 1 ohm from a single channel.
Q: What filters does the ZQ15001 have?
A: It has a 40Hz to 250Hz low pass filter, a 5Hz to 50Hz subsonic filter, bass boost of 0 to +18dB at 45Hz and 0-180° phase control.
Q: How big is the ZQ15001?
A: It measures 280 x 200 x 56mm (L x W x H).
