Cerwin-Vega XED6001D Mono Class-D Car Amplifier

The Cerwin-Vega XED6001D is a compact mono Class-D car amplifier designed to add dedicated power for a subwoofer system. It delivers 320 watts RMS at 4 ohms or 600 watts RMS at 2 ohms, giving installers a practical option for bass-focused upgrades. Its single-channel configuration keeps the setup focused on low-frequency reproduction rather than full-range speaker amplification.

This amplifier is a fit for drivers who want to power one subwoofer or a compatible multi-subwoofer arrangement with a final 2- or 4-ohm load. The variable low-pass crossover helps limit the amplifier's output to bass frequencies, while the adjustable subsonic filter can be used to tailor low-end playback. A wired bass level control is included for convenient adjustment from the driver's seat.

Class-D topology helps the XED6001D produce substantial output from a compact chassis while supporting efficient operation. Its full PWM power supply is specified for a 10.0 to 16.0 VDC electrical system, making it intended for conventional 12-volt vehicle installations. The amplifier includes power and protect status indication to help monitor operation.

Connection flexibility is provided through low-level RCA input capability and high-level input capability. This allows it to work with many aftermarket receivers as well as systems where a speaker-level signal is available. Adjustable input gain supports matching the amplifier to the signal voltage supplied by the source unit or integration interface.

The XED6001D measures only 7.1 by 4.7 by 1.8 inches, which can simplify placement in compact installations. It is intended as a dedicated bass amplifier within a larger car audio system, paired with a properly matched subwoofer enclosure, power wiring, ground connection, fuse protection, and signal source. Its 2-ohm minimum output impedance should be considered when selecting and wiring subwoofers.

Key Features

• Mono Class-D Topology: Provides dedicated, efficient amplification for a bass channel.
• 600W RMS at 2 Ohms: Supplies substantial continuous power to compatible subwoofer loads.
• Variable Low-Pass Crossover: Lets you set the upper bass cutoff from 35Hz to 250Hz.
• Variable Subsonic Filter: Allows adjustment from 10Hz to 50Hz for system tuning.
• High- and Low-Level Inputs: Supports integration with a range of source signal types.
• Included Bass Control: Enables convenient remote adjustment of bass level.

Design & Installation

The XED6001D uses a compact aluminum chassis and a Class-D output stage. It has a specified 2-ohm minimum output impedance, a pair of internal 30A ATC fuses, and LED power/protect status indication. Its compact 7.1-inch length can help when mounting space is limited.

Install the amplifier in a secure, ventilated location and use suitable power, ground, speaker, and signal wiring for the vehicle and connected equipment. Match the final subwoofer load to the amplifier's supported 2- or 4-ohm operation, then set gain, low-pass crossover, subsonic filter, and bass boost carefully for the installed subwoofer and enclosure. A compatible head unit or signal source, subwoofer, enclosure, wiring hardware, and appropriate vehicle-side fuse protection are required separately unless supplied by the installer.
