Upgrade your outdoor audio system with the DS18 NXL-N2, an ultra-compact 2-channel amplifier from their rugged HYDRO Nano series. Engineered to deliver massive full-range power without eating up valuable cargo space, this highly efficient Class-D amplifier pumps out 150 watts RMS per channel at 2 ohms, 100 watts RMS per channel at 4 ohms, or a bridged 300 watts RMS at 4 ohms. Whether you are driving a pair of wake tower speakers on your boat, upgrading the fairing coaxial speakers on your motorcycle, or outfitting your side-by-side with high-output audio, the NXL-N2 provides the crystal-clear, continuous power you need in any extreme outdoor environment.
Designed to withstand the absolute harshest conditions, the NXL-N2 boasts an impressive IP67 waterproof rating, ensuring complete protection against moisture, mud, salt, and dust. Internally, it features a highly stable 4-layer PCB layout built with reliable Surface Mount Component (SMC) technology, ensuring flawless performance even under extreme vibration. The extruded aluminum chassis—styled in DS18’s signature black and red finish—acts as a highly efficient heat sink to keep the amplifier running cool. With its incredibly small footprint of just under 8 inches long, this "Nano" amplifier can be easily tucked away in the tightest spaces, all while backed by comprehensive multi-way protection circuitry to safeguard your electrical system.
Key Features & Specifications
