Transform the audio experience in your marine vessel, UTV, or motorcycle with the DS18 NXL-N4, a robust 4-channel amplifier from their rugged HYDRO Nano series. Engineered to deliver massive, full-range power to multiple speakers without taking 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 massive 300 watts RMS x 2 channels bridged at 4 ohms. Whether you are driving a complete set of high-performance wake tower speakers, a powerful array of motorcycle fairing and saddlebag coaxials, or outfitting your side-by-side with a complete custom sound system, the NXL-N4 provides the dynamic, crystal-clear power you need in extreme outdoor environments.
Designed to withstand the absolute harshest conditions on land or water, the NXL-N4 boasts a strict 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 off-road vibration or pounding boat wakes. 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 even during extended high-volume listening sessions. With an incredibly small footprint of just under 10 inches long, this "Nano" amplifier can be stealthily tucked away in the tightest spaces, all while backed by comprehensive multi-way protection circuitry.
Key Features & Specifications
