With optical digital and Bluetooth inputs, the Powerbox 80.6-8DSP turns any factory head unit into a Bluetooth receiver, letting you stream music wirelessly on the move. The inbuilt mixer sums the input signal and distributes it to any desired channels — ideal for a multi-speaker setup running from a stereo input only.
The smartphone app gives full control over gain, crossover, time alignment, 31-band parametric EQ and more.
Compact footprint: Mini Class D technology keeps the internals small, packing significant power into a unit that can be hidden away for a cleaner install.
Features: Multiple inputs and outputs including optical, plus extensive tuning via the DSP app.
DSP control: The DSP app connects via Bluetooth to control all amplifier functions, including full EQ adjustment.
Versatility: The compact size makes concealed mounting straightforward. Auto sense turn-on removes the need for a remote wire, simplifying integration with OEM sound systems.

About the Vibe POWERBOX80.6-8DSP-V5
From our tech experts at CEN
A 6-channel amplifier from Vibe’s Powerbox range, Class D, with DSP on board, in a compact chassis small enough to hide under a seat.
Who it suits
Drivers whose speakers have outgrown the head unit. Micro amplifiers suit vans, campers and modern cars where there is nowhere to put a full-size chassis. Powerbox is Vibe’s long-running amplifier line, known for compact chassis.
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: Can the Powerbox 80.6-8DSP-V5 stream Bluetooth audio?
A: Yes. With Bluetooth and optical digital inputs, it turns a factory head unit into a Bluetooth receiver so you can stream music wirelessly.
Q: How many channels does the Vibe Powerbox 80.6 DSP have?
A: Six, each delivering 80W RMS at 4 ohms or 100W RMS at 2 ohms.
