Car Stereo 101

A car stereo system, also known as car audio, consists of three parts equally important: the head unit (radio or CD player), amplifier and speakers.

The audio signal is created at the head unit. This signal can come from your smartphone, CD-player or USB drive.

The signal generated by the head unit isn’t strong enough to be transmitted directly to the speakers. We have amplifiers to help.

Recommended Top Rated 1,000-Watt Amps

The amplifier takes the signal from the head unit and boosts it before sending it to the speakers.

The head unit of a car always has an amp, but they are usually small and inexpensive. They can only produce 20W per channel.

The speakers are the third component of a car’s stereo system. They take the amplified signal and convert it into sound.

Why an External Amp is a Good Idea (Advantages and Drawbacks of External Amps).

We’ve already mentioned that amps inside head units are often small and weak. They can only push 5W-20W per channel.

External amps have a higher power output, which is the biggest benefit. External amps can produce much more power than your standard amp. Mono amps with high-end features can generate more than 10kW pure power.

You will see a significant difference in your sound quality even if your speakers are connected to an external amp with a 100W RMS output per channel.

External amplifiers offer a second benefit: better sound quality. External amps produce a cleaner (less distorted) audio signal than built-in amps. As you probably know, a less distorted signal equals better audio quality (clearer, fuller sound).

Recommended Top Rated 1200-Watt Amps

External amps also have the option to adjust the crossover. External amps allow you to choose which frequencies are sent to which speakers.

Even if you don’t make any other changes, an external amp can prove to be a great addition. Even if you don’t want to replace your speakers and head unit, an external amp can provide a more powerful sound. This is a significant improvement over your amp’s 5-20W output per channel.

A new amp is required for any type of car speaker upgrade, such as replacing or buying a subwoofer. It is impossible to connect powerful aftermarket speakers with your factory amp.

The most common reason to buy a 5000-Watt amp is a subwoofer. The majority of 5000W amps available (and those on our list) is mono amps that are specifically designed for subwoofers.

Our Top Picks 5 Best 5000 Watt Amps 

Types of Amp Types

You can distinguish between monoblocks and monoblocks based on how many speaker outputs you have (channels). 2-channel amps (stereo amplifiers) and multichannel amps (4-channel, 5-channel etc. ).

The type of upgrade that you are looking for will determine which option is best. A mono amp is required to add a subwoofer or two subwoofers.

A mono amp can power three subwoofers, but wiring is tricky. Calculate their combined impedances and compare it to the amp’s maximum permissible impedance.

Recommended Top Rated 1500 Watt Amps

If you are replacing two front speakers, a stereo amp is the best option.

A three-channel amp is capable of powering two speakers or a subwoofer.

If you need to replace four speakers (front or rear), a four-channel amp is the best option.

There are many combinations you can make. You can buy more than one mono amp to power your subwoofer. You would rather do this than buying a stronger mono amp.

It’s easy to see that buying two 2500W amps can be cheaper than one 5000W amp in certain cases. Naturally, you will need to purchase two amps that have strapping capabilities (preferably two of the same amps).

One mono amp can be combined with one multichannel amp. You can, for example, use a mono amplifier to power your subwoofer while pairing it with a 4-channel amp to power the rest of the speakers. You will need a mono amplifier with preamp outputs. Also, you will need to adjust the crossovers.

Power Ratings

Once you’ve decided which amp you want, it is important to find the amp that matches your impedance.

So, you have to check your speaker’s/subwoofer’s impedance and RMS power rating and start looking for an amp that can push the required amount of power (preferably more) for the given load.

Recommended Top Rated 2000 Watt Amps

It isn’t as simple as it sounds to find the right power rating. Here are some things to keep in mind.

• The power ratings on the box usually indicate maximum power outputs. If you see a large 5000W am written on a box, it is most likely that this is the amp’s peak power output. It’s not enough just to check the advertised power output. You must also look in the user manual to verify the RMS power ratings.

• Amps can overrate their power outputs. These numbers are arbitrary and do not reflect the amps’ actual capabilities. Most generic brands (BOSS Audio and Audio Planet) use this marketing gimmick to trick you into buying their amps. Most generic brands (BOSS Audio, Audio Planet, etc.) use this marketing trick to get you to buy their amps. You should only buy amps that are made by reputable manufacturers. We calculated the maximum power output of each amp and highlighted their true capabilities.

• You can calculate the RMS and peak power outputs of advertised amps. However, they are not reliable. You can calculate the RMS and peak power outputs of the amp by using the equation below.

• CEA-2006 refers to a standard for car amps. It specifies how RMS power outputs will be measured. The CEA 2006 logo means that an amp is CEA certified RMS outputs. This is a good sign, but it is not required and there are not many manufacturers that make CEA compliant amps. Many generic brands are not CEA-compliant. This is because it is not just about power output. There are other factors that can affect sound quality, such as THD and SNR. etc.). The CEA-2006 logo does not imply that the amp can produce the advertised RMS power output.

CEA2006 logo

• The amp dyno is the best way to determine the RMS and peak power outputs of an amp. You can find many of these tests on YouTube and they can really help you with your decision.Unfortunately, there’s no amp dyno test for each amp on the market and, in some cases, you will have to calculate the max power output, check if the amp is CEA-compliant, and read customers’ reviews.

We’ve given you some background information and now we can move on to our list of the 5 Best 5000-Watt Amps. This list is broken into two parts: best 5000-Watt amplifiers below $300 and best 5kwt amps above $300.

Recommended Top Rated 3000-Watt Amps
Note: You don’t need an amp that can only push 5000Watts but is advertised as being a 5000-Watt amp, so skip the first section.

The amps in this section are generic cheap amps that cannot push 3000W or even 5000W. You will need to spend more than $300 if you want an amp capable of delivering 5000W (5000W RMS) pure power.

Best 5000-Watt Amps Under $300

1. Planet Audio TR5000.1D

Check Last Price

Planet Audio is another of the generic brands we have mentioned. Although their amps are quite cheap and overrated, they offer decent performance for the money. The TR5000.1D is an amp that can produce a maximum power output of 5000W. This amp is not capable of producing that much power.

Impressions

Your TR5000.1D amp, wired remote for bass, mounting screws, user guide, and 1-year warranty are all included in the packaging.

Because of the many plastic parts, the amp looks cheap. It measures 18.2 inches in length, 9.6in in width, and 2.2in high. It’s not very small, and your trunk is likely the best place for installation.

TR5000.1D features RCA inputs and RCA outputs. You can also use the data link port to strap it if you need to increase the power output.

Variable low-pass and subsonic crossfader filters are available on the amp. The subsonic crossover range is between 15Hz and 40Hz, and the low-pass range is from 50Hz up to 250Hz.

You can adjust the bass response to boost it using the included remote or the bass knob on your amp. Maximum bass boost allowed is 18dB You can also adjust phase (0-180deg).

The fuse is 200A, with an inline 200A fuse. Our calculations show that the amp can produce 2304W peak power output. This is quite a distance from the advertised 5000W. You can’t get more than 5000W peak power even if you have two amps.

We also found that the RMS power outputs of TR5000.1D are highly exaggerated. TR5000.1D claims it can deliver 3750W RMS at 1, 18,75W at 2 and 938W @ 4.

We are unable to give the exact RMS values as there are no amp-dyno tests. This amp is capable of pushing up to 1000W RMS according to our experience.

5. Hifonics GA-500.1D

Check Last Price

Hifonics is a brand that many car amp enthusiasts have heard of. Hifonics has been creating amps for over 35 years, and they’re quite skilled at it.

Although they are not the most powerful amps available, they offer excellent performance for their price.

Hifonics does not publish peak or RMS values. This is something you need to be aware of.

Our experience has shown that advertised outputs are peak outputs. Hifonics GA-500.1D is a mono-amp with a Class-D power output of 5000W. It is priced below $400

Impressions

The box contains your Hifonics GA-500.1D amplifier, a bass level remote, a user manual, and a warranty certificate. The wiring kit is not provided in the box. You can use 0-Gauge wire to connect the ground and power terminals.

This amp has the Hifonics iconic design, which includes an aluminum chassis and illuminated logo at the top. It also features large heatsinks on the left and right sides.

The amps of the GA series, unlike the BRX or ZXX series amps, are completely black. They definitely look better than the BRX or ZXX amps. GA-5000.1D measures 22in in length, 10in width, and 3.7in high.

The amplifier features RCA (low level) inputs, as well as slave in and master out RCA ports for strapping. The amplifier doesn’t feature high-level inputs.

There are two types of crossover filters: low-pass (35Hz to 250Hz) and variable subsonic (15HZ to 35Hz). You can also control the bass response with the bass boost knob and the remote. This can increase the bass up to 10dB. You can also adjust the phase (0-180deg).

GA-5000.1D uses an inline fuse external. Use a 275A inline fuse. This fuse will allow the amp to pump 3168W maximum (see equation below).

A Short Buyer’s Guide: Things to Consider when Buying an Amp

The number of channels and the amplification type

Choose an amp that suits your needs. The best solution is to buy an amp that has the same number of channels as the speakers you wish to connect.

A mono amp is required to add a subwoofer or speaker to an existing car stereo system. A stereo amp is required to replace the front speakers. A 5-channel amp is required to replace four speakers and add an additional subwoofer.

You can use one amp with multiple channels, or two amps in some cases.

You can, for example, use a 4-channel amplifier (in bridged mode), to power just two speakers. You can pair two amps if you need to replace four speakers or add a subwoofer. One mono amp has preamp output ports and one 4-channel amp.

You can strap two mono amps (if they’re strappable) to get a greater output if one isn’t powerful enough for your subwoofer. There are many options.

The two most popular amp types when it comes to amplification are Class AB and Class D. Most mono amps, however, are Class AB.

This is because there’s an obvious reason. Class-D amps outperform Class-AB amps. They are more efficient, have lower operating temperatures and have better reproduction of the midrange and treble.

The Class-D amps have a very good bass reproduction, which combined with low operating temperatures, high-efficiency makes them the best choice to power subwoofers.

Class-AB amplifiers have better midrange and high treble reproduction, which is why they are used to power midrange tweeters and woofers.

Hybrid amps, which combine Class-AB with Class-D amplification, can be found in 5-channel models. These amps typically have four Class-AB channels for speakers and one Class-D channel to the subwoofer.

Power outputs and impedances

Although we have already discussed the topic in great detail in the introduction it is worth repeating the most important points.

First, don’t take power ratings published or advertised as a rule of thumb. Manufacturers don’t have the obligation to disclose power outputs. They are often exaggerated, especially for generic brands.

More reputable brands (Skar Audio, DS18, Rockford Fosgate, Memphis, etc.) These brands publish more precise power ratings, so you can trust them.

The equation below can be used to calculate the estimated value of maximum power output.

This equation will tell you what you can expect from an amp. If the amp’s advertised output is lower than the calculated output you can rest assured that it won’t provide enough power.

This equation cannot be used to calculate the RMS output.

An amp dyno test is the best way to determine the RMS output. YouTube has many tests for different amps. You should look into these before you make a purchase.

The CEA-2006 standard for car amplifiers is another useful feature. You can be sure that the RMS ratings have been CEA-certified.

Common Features

While power ratings, impedances and channels are important to consider, they aren’t the only ones. You should also pay attention to inputs (high- and low-level), RCA strapping outputs and RCA preamp, and crossover filters (low, high-pass and subsonic), as well as bass boost.

Two types of inputs exist: high-level (speaker level) and low-level(RCA). The voltage is referred to by the terms high and low. The majority of amps available on the market only have RCA inputs.

You will need an adapter that has the appropriate number of channels if you want to connect these amps to your factory radio. Factory radios typically have high-level outputs.

Crossover filters can be used to select which frequencies will be handled by a speaker/subwoofer.

Mono amps can be used to power subwoofers. They have subsonic and low-pass filters.

Multichannel amplifiers often have high-pass and low-pass filters. These filters can both be fixed or variable, but they are almost always all variable.

Mono amps that have a bass boost feature are best if you like a deep bass sound. Mono amps can be equipped with a remote control for bass.

Size

The size of the item becomes crucial when there is limited space. This is exactly what happens with amps and cars.

The majority of amps capable of generating 5000W (either peak or RMS) are large, so your trunk is the best place for installation.

You should be ready for the possibility of installing a subwoofer or a matching amplifier, which will drastically reduce the space available.

Installation – wiring kit

It’s strongly recommended that you hire a professional to install your car’s audio system and electrical system.

You can still do the installation yourself if you don’t mind spending a bit more money on a wiring kit. Although kits with CCA (Copper Clad Aluminum) wire may be cheaper, they won’t be as effective as those with OFC (Oxygen Free Copper) wire.

OFC wire is a better conductor than CCA wire and doesn’t heat as fast. CCA wire has a higher chance of malfunction/damage.

Price

You will need to spend more than $300 if you want an amp that can power 5000W. Amps advertised as 5000W and less than $200 won’t be able to push 3000W.

Taramp’s MD5000.1 is the cheapest amp capable of pushing 5000W RMS. The amps that can produce 5000W RMS output are more expensive. It can easily cost upwards of $1000. Our top pick, DS18 HOOL–SPL5K1, costs around $950.

Frequently Asked Question

You might still have questions after reading the buyer’s guide and reviews. This FAQ section should help you clarify most of your queries. You won’t have to search the internet for answers to simple questions.

Do all amplifiers fit into car audio systems?

The input power requirements of the amplifier determine the feature. It can run on a car’s battery if the power requirement falls within 9 to 12 V. This is because the car’s circuit can only provide 12 volts of power.

These power requirements are met by class D amplifiers. Class D amplifiers can also be used in a car’s audio system because they are small and compact. You can find other types of amplifiers that may meet the requirements, but it is important to pay attention to its specifications regarding safety fuses and other features.

You may need to attach fuses to car amplifiers yourself to ensure that the wiring system is protected.

What are the amplifying classes?

There are many different types of amplifiers available that match specific specifications. The most popular and widely produced amplifiers are class A, B and AB.

Because class D amplifiers can be small and compact, they are also efficient. It can be used anywhere and produces a significant amount of power (minimum of 5000 watts).

Class A amplifiers have the highest sound quality. These amplifiers are large and heavy and are therefore rarely made. The reason for this low production is that class A amplifiers can be very inefficient and power-hungry.

Heat is the greatest enemy of amplifiers. The operating temperatures will be lower if the class alphabet is lower than the class A amplifier. Class D amplifiers are therefore cooler than class A amplifiers.

How do you pair speakers with an amplifier?

You need to be careful when pairing your speakers with an amplifier. You could cause irreversible damage to the speakers if you do something wrong.

You must first determine the impedance rating of your speakers and match it to your amplifier. The impedance refers to the electrical resistance of various components in your device. It is indicated by Ohm.

Your speaker impedance rating should usually be higher than the amp’s. You can attach, for example, a 4-ohm amplifier and a 12-ohm speaker.

You should also be aware of the wattage rating of your amplifier and speaker. The amplifier’s output power is indicated by the wattage rating. On amplifiers, there are two types: continuous power or RMS.

You should ensure that the speaker outputs a greater wattage than what the amplifier’s RMS is. This will ensure that the speakers sound and are safe.

Finally, make sure to check the speakers’ sensitivity ratings. If you are looking to purchase a low-power amplifier, then it is important that your speakers be highly sensitive. Your speakers won’t sound loud enough if they don’t have the right features. You will also need to be close enough to your speakers to hear them clearly, which can lead to a waste of money.

Can amplifiers improve bass performance?

Amplifiers can improve the bass performance and quality of your speakers. This is particularly noticeable for audio systems in cars. Although amplifiers are built into every audio system, speakers and speaker, they aren’t very powerful.

You will notice distortion in the bass at higher volumes. Amplifiers remove the audio signal from the speakers, resulting in a richer and more powerful bass output.

Can amplifiers improve sound quality?

Amplifiers do not improve the sound quality of speakers, but they can make them sound better. Speakers are usually equipped with inbuilt amplifiers. However, they can be of poor quality. The amplifiers distort the audio signal and make the speakers sound dull.

External amplifiers, on the other hand, have high-quality filters that feed a richer sound to the speakers. This improves their sound quality.

Do amplifiers need to be connected to a turntable?

An external amplifier is required if you plan to use vinyl records as turntables. Because the vinyl record can’t produce enough signals for speakers to recognize, an external amplifier is required.

An amplifier is needed to amplify the signals and make them easily recognizable by speakers.

Heating is not sufficient for the amplifier?

Yes, heat can be a killer for amplifiers. Heat can damage amplifiers in many different ways. There are many reasons that heat can be produced in amplifiers.

A faulty speaker is one of the major reasons amplifiers heat up. A speaker that has been shortcircuited can cause the amplifier to heat up because it is trying to power it.

The second most common reason for this is an improper amplifier-speaker pairing. The rule of thumb is to have the amp’s impedance lower than the speaker. An amplifier with a high impedance can cause heat to the speaker. It will shut down to save its life.

Your amplifier may become too hot if you push it to its limits. If the gain or bass boost settings aren’t set correctly, the amplifier can become hot. This could cause the amplifier’s peak output power to be reached more often and heat up.

The cause of heating can also be determined by the class of the speaker. Class A amplifiers are made with primitive circuits, which produce the best sound but are inefficient in energy conversion. This fact makes it heat up quite a bit.

How do amps cool down?

Heat sinks and fans are used to cool amplifiers. The heat sinks are long tubes that run along the sides of an amp. These tubes passively cool the amp by letting the outside air absorb heat.

Others amplifiers cool down actively by using fans to draw air in and blow it over the components.
