It supplies dedicated amplification for front and rear speakers while using a chassis designed for installations where available space is limited. Its selectable input and turn-on options support a variety of source-unit configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRated for 80 watts RMS per channel at 4 ohms or 150 watts RMS per channel at 2 ohms, the VCU84 is intended for speaker systems that need more output than a head unit can provide. It can also be bridged to operate as two 300-watt RMS channels at 4 ohms. This makes it suitable for a conventional four-speaker setup or a two-channel bridged configuration when system design calls for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe amplifier uses a full-range Class D topology with a full PWM power supply and an enhanced Power IR digital chipset. Its specified 10 Hz to 35 kHz bandwidth, adjustable high-pass and low-pass filters, and 12 dB-per-octave crossover slopes provide useful control when matching speakers to the system. The crossover can be set from 40 to 400 Hz for either high-pass or low-pass operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor integration flexibility, the VCU84 accepts both high-level and low-level input signals and offers a selectable 2-channel or 4-channel input configuration. Its Remote Turn-On Configurator supports conventional REM triggering, DC offset sensing, or VOX signal sensing. These options can simplify installation with many factory radios as well as aftermarket head units.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCerwin Vega builds the VCU84 around a four-layer PCB with SMD construction and a water-resistant conformal coating. A DirectFET power MOSFET output stage, boosted RFI rejection, and protective operating design support dependable use in a vehicle environment. At 8.8 inches long, it can be placed in compact amplifier locations while still providing four amplified channels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFour-Channel Class D Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Powers front and rear speakers from one compact amplifier.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e600-Watt RMS Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e Delivers 150 watts RMS to each channel at 2 ohms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBridgeable Output:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provides 300 watts RMS x 2 at 4 ohms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable Crossovers:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-pass and low-pass filters adjust from 40 to 400 Hz.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlexible Signal Integration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supports high-level and low-level inputs with 2CH\/4CH selection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSelectable Turn-On Modes:\u003c\/strong\u003e REM, DC offset, and VOX activation options aid installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe VCU84 uses a compact matching-heatsink platform with a full-range Class D IR chipset, DirectFET power MOSFET output stage, and SMD circuitry on a four-layer PCB. Its conformal-coated circuit board is specified as water resistant, adding protection against moisture and environmental exposure. Status LEDs indicate normal operation or a protection fault.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMount the amplifier on a solid surface with ventilation around the chassis and keep its controls accessible for setup. Use a negative-ground 12-volt electrical system, at least 8-gauge power and ground wiring, and a properly placed battery-side fuse. The amplifier supports loads down to 2 ohms per channel in stereo operation or 4 ohms per bridged channel pair; do not chassis-ground speaker leads.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cerwin Vega","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45619034095686,"sku":"CER-VCU84","price":541.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0048\/4163\/5910\/files\/61WhY0G27vL.jpg?v=1784370185","url":"https:\/\/audiowatt.store\/products\/cerwin-vega-vcu84-4-channel-class-d-car-amplifier","provider":"Audio Watt Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
