About the Vibe POWERBOX650.1M-V5
From our tech experts at CEN
The Vibe Powerbox 650.1M-V5 is a compact Class D mono subwoofer amplifier rated at 650W RMS at 1 ohm, 430W at 2 ohms, and 250W at 4 ohms. It measures 47 × 134 × 230mm and includes subsonic and low-pass filters, bass boost, RCA inputs, and a remote gain control. Four levels of circuit protection are built in.
Who it suits
Suits drivers who want a capable dedicated sub amplifier without taking up too much boot space. For more headroom, consider the Vibe Powerbox 1000.1M; for a more modest build, the Vibe Powerbox 400.1M is worth considering.
Our tech experts advise
Match the amplifier's output to your subwoofer's RMS rating, not its peak figure. At 1 ohm you get the full 650W, so confirm your sub's impedance and wiring configuration before fitting. A Vibe 8 AWG wiring kit is a suitable match for this amplifier. Installation is priced per vehicle — see our car audio installation page for details.

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: Is the Vibe Powerbox 650.1M-V5 1 ohm stable?
A: Yes. It produces 650W RMS at 1 ohm, 430W at 2 ohms and 250W at 4 ohms.
Q: Does the Powerbox 650.1M-V5 come with a gain remote?
A: Yes. It includes a remote gain control so you can adjust the bass level from the front of the vehicle.
