Audio360 AD1500.2 2-Channel Class AB Car Amplifier

The Audio360 AD1500.2 is a compact 2-channel car audio amplifier designed to add dedicated power to an aftermarket speaker system or a single bridged subwoofer setup. It provides separate left and right channels for stereo operation, with the option to combine both channels for mono use. This flexibility makes it suitable for upgrades that need more output than a head unit's built-in amplification can provide.

For stereo systems, the AD1500.2 is rated at 120 watts RMS per channel at 4 ohms or 180 watts RMS per channel at 2 ohms. In bridged mode, it is rated for 360 watts RMS into a 4-ohm load. Match connected speakers or a subwoofer to these RMS ratings and supported impedance configurations for an appropriate installation.

The amplifier uses a Class AB design and is specified with a 90 dB signal-to-noise ratio. Its adjustable gain control helps match the amplifier to the output level of a compatible source unit. Selectable high-pass, low-pass, and full-range crossover modes allow the amplifier to be configured for speakers or a subwoofer application.

Dual 25-amp fuses are fitted for amplifier protection, for a combined 50-amp fuse rating. The amplifier also includes an adjustable bass-boost control for system tuning. As with any car-audio amplifier, gain and bass boost should be set carefully to help avoid audible distortion and excessive speaker stress.

At 260 x 228 x 51 mm, the AD1500.2 is sized for installations where available mounting space is limited. It uses RCA signal inputs, a remote turn-on connection, and dedicated speaker output terminals. It can serve as a focused power upgrade for a pair of speakers, a component system, or one properly matched bridged subwoofer.

Key Features

• Bridgeable Configuration: Combines both channels for one 4-ohm mono load.
• Class AB Circuitry: Uses a conventional Class AB amplifier design.
• RMS Power Ratings: Delivers up to 180 watts RMS per channel at 2 ohms.
• Selectable Crossovers: Offers HPF, LPF, and full-range operating modes.
• Dual 25A Fuses: Provides a combined onboard fuse rating of 50 amps.

Design & Installation

The AD1500.2 uses a compact freestanding amplifier format measuring 260 x 228 x 51 mm. Published information confirms the compact chassis dimensions and control layout, including crossover selection, gain adjustment, and bass boost. Enclosure material and finish specifications are not published.

Install the amplifier in a dry, secure, well-ventilated location with clearance for wiring and cooling. Use RCA cables from a compatible source unit, connect the remote turn-on lead, and use suitably sized power and ground wiring; installation guidance calls for 8 AWG or larger power and ground cable and an external inline fuse near the battery. For bridged operation, use a single 4-ohm or higher load connected according to the amplifier's bridged terminal markings.
