Audio360 AD3000.1 Monoblock Car Amplifier

The AUDIO360 AD3000.1 is a compact monoblock car amplifier designed to add dedicated low-frequency power to a subwoofer system. Its single-channel Class D configuration is intended for bass amplification rather than full-range speaker duty. It is a practical option for installers building a compact trunk, side-panel, or under-seat subwoofer upgrade.

This amplifier is rated for 200 watts RMS at 4 ohms, 350 watts RMS at 2 ohms, and 500 watts RMS at 1 ohm. Those ratings allow it to work with subwoofer wiring configurations that present a 1-, 2-, or 4-ohm final load. Matching the final impedance and RMS capability of the connected subwoofer is important for a properly balanced system.

The AD3000.1 is listed with a 3000-watt maximum-power rating and an 89 dB signal-to-noise ratio. Its published continuous-output ratings provide the more useful reference point when selecting compatible subwoofers. The mono design keeps the amplifier focused on supplying power to one bass channel.

Class D operation helps keep the amplifier footprint compact at approximately 8.66 x 8.98 x 2.13 inches. This format can simplify placement where a larger traditional amplifier may be difficult to mount. The amplifier is specified as stable down to a 1-ohm load.

Built-in thermal, overload, and short-circuit protection are listed for added operating protection. These features are intended to help safeguard the amplifier during abnormal operating conditions. The AD3000.1 can serve as the bass-power stage in a system paired with a compatible source unit, wiring installation, and properly matched subwoofer enclosure.

Key Features

• Mono Subwoofer Channel: Dedicated single-channel design for low-frequency system amplification.
• Class D Topology: Compact amplifier architecture suited to space-conscious installations.
• 1-Ohm Stability: Supports compatible subwoofer loads down to 1 ohm.
• 500W RMS at 1 Ohm: Delivers its highest listed RMS rating at 1 ohm.
• 89 dB Signal-to-Noise Ratio: Published noise specification for the amplifier's audio output.
• Protection Circuits: Thermal, overload, and short-circuit safeguards are listed.

Design & Installation

The AD3000.1 uses a compact Class D monoblock layout measuring approximately 8.66 x 8.98 x 2.13 inches. Published product information confirms the amplifier format, dimensions, and protection functions, but does not identify the chassis or heatsink materials. Its small form factor is suited to installations where amplifier space is limited.

Install the amplifier securely in a location with suitable ventilation and plan the system around the final subwoofer impedance. Use a subwoofer configuration that presents no lower than the specified 1-ohm minimum load, and match the subwoofer system to the applicable 4-, 2-, or 1-ohm RMS rating. Power wiring, grounding, signal connection, fusing, and any installation hardware should be selected according to the vehicle and the installer’s requirements.
