About the Vibe BD5000.1DSPL-V3
From our tech experts at CEN
A monoblock subwoofer amplifier from Vibe’s Black Death range, Class D, with DSP on board.
Who it suits
Anyone adding a subwoofer that needs real power behind it. Black Death is Vibe’s competition line, built for output rather than subtlety.
Our tech experts advise
The processing is worth only what the tuning puts into it, and that means measurements in the car rather than a preset. It needs a fused feed from the battery on the correct cable gauge. Installation is priced per vehicle, so get in touch with your make, model and year and we will confirm what it needs. See car audio installation.

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 BD5000.1DSPL-V3 produce?
A: It delivers 5500W RMS at 1 ohm, 2900W RMS at 2 ohms and 1580W RMS at 4 ohms, with a maximum power of 11,800W.
Q: Can two BD5000.1DSPL-V3 amplifiers be strapped together?
A: Yes. It has amplifier strapping capability, which allows 2 identical amplifiers to be connected to deliver the full power through a single channel.
Q: How big is the BD5000.1DSPL-V3?
A: It measures 59mm high, 650mm wide and 250mm deep.
