The PRV Audio RS500 BASS 1 Ohm is a high-performance Class-D monoblock amplifier specifically engineered to deliver massive, deep bass in an ultra-compact chassis. Unlike full-range amplifiers, the RS Series is custom-tailored for SPL and heavy low-frequency reproduction, focusing solely on the 10Hz to 200Hz range. Rated at a true 500 Watts RMS at a 1-Ohm load, this powerhouse features an overbuilt power supply and a high-capacitance reserve designed to store energy and provide consistent, astonishing bass output. Despite its impressive power capabilities, it boasts a tiny footprint weighing only 2 pounds, making it incredibly easy to hide under seats, behind panels, or in tight custom installations.
Built for durability and ease of use, the RS500 BASS features a heavy-duty cast aluminum heatsink with a built-in smart cooling fan to maintain optimal thermal stability under demanding playlists. Adding this amplifier to your stock system is exceptionally easy thanks to the included High-Level (speaker wire) inputs with signal auto turn-on, eliminating the need to run a remote turn-on wire from the factory radio. Fine-tuning your low-end is simple with variable Subsonic and Low Pass Filters, plus an adjustable Bass Boost (up to +12dB at 35Hz-50Hz). Intelligent 4-way protection circuitry and top-panel Clip LED indicators ensure your subwoofer and amplifier stay safe and perform at their peak.
