    • Continuous Watts x Channel @ Ohms: 400W x 1 @ 4 ohms, 600W x 1 @ 2 ohms, 800W x 1 @ 1.33 ohms
    • Amplifier Class: D (An amplifier's mode of operation, specifically the conditions in which its electrical current flows for the duration of an audio signal, determines its class. Each class has its strengths and weaknesses when it comes to power efficiency, levels of crossover distortion, and overall sound quality.)
    • Number Of Channels: 1
    • Bass Boost: None (Circuitry that boosts the bass response of the amplifier, improving audio reproduction enhancing the sound of low frequencies. Fixed boost means the level of bass response is preset, whereas variable boost allows the user to make adjustments.)
    • Bridgeable: false (Bridging an amplifier increases the power it supplies to the speaker(s).)
    • Low-Pass Crossover: Selectable (Devices with this function allow only audio frequencies below a chosen cut-off frequency to pass through to a speaker or sound system. A device may have a cut-off frequency predetermined by its manufacturer (fixed), multiple cut-off frequency options to choose from (selectable), or have the capability for the frequency to be configured by the user (variable).)
    • High-Pass Crossover: Selectable (Devices with this function allow only audio frequencies above a chosen cut-off frequency to pass through to a speaker or sound system. A device may have a cut-off frequency predetermined by its manufacturer (fixed), multiple cut-off frequency options to choose from (selectable), or have the capability for the frequency to be configured by the user (variable).)
    • Speaker-Level Inputs: true (Also referred to as high-level inputs. Enables the amplifier to receive a sound signal from another device that does not have RCA, or low-level, inputs.)

  • Rated 5 out of 5 stars

    Perfect Match for My Tesla Model 3.

    After a long search for an amplifier that can handle the 16V system in my Tesla Model 3, I finally landed on the AudioControl A800.1, and I couldn’t be happier. This amp has exceeded my expectations, pairing perfectly with my LC1 line output converter and NVX enclosure. From the start, it delivered clean, powerful bass without any signs of overheating, even under heavy use. It’s clear that AudioControl put serious engineering into making this amp not just compatible but optimized for EVs. The efficiency and tuning options make it a perfect match for my setup, and it’s handled everything I’ve thrown at it so far. If you’re running a high-voltage EV system like a Tesla and want a reliable, powerful, and clean amp, this is the one to get. Highly recommend!
