Alpine KTA-450 4-Channel Power Pack Amplifier with PowerStack Capability
The next generation of Power Pack is here! The compact KTA-450 Power Pack Amplifier utilizes Alpine’s exclusive DPP technology for a big power boost in a small space.
Features
Compact size, measuring just 7” W x 3.5” H x 1.25” D Class D amplifier circuit Dynamic Peak Power (DPP) technology doubles the power during dynamic musical passages PowerStacking bracket included for mounting to the iLX-W650 7” Mech-less AV Receiver (sold separately) The KTA-450 used with the iLX-W650 is a 2019 CES Innovation Awards Winner
TECH SPECS
DPP Power Rating: 100W DPP x 4 (2/4 Ohm, 14.4V, ≤1% THD+N) CTA-2006 Power Rating: 45W RMS x 4 (2/4 Ohm, 14.4V, ≤1% THD+N) >82dB S/N (ref. 1W into 4 Ohm)
Award-winning Powerstack Compatibility The KTA-450 can mount behind select Alpine 2-DIN mech-less head units, like the iLX-W650, using the included bracket. The KTA-450’s recessed harness receptacle allows the wiring to fold between it and the head unit so both products fit in a standard 2-DIN space. This PowerStack design is a 2019 CES Innovation Awards winner and makes the duo one of the most powerful 2-DIN radios available.
Exclusive Amplifier Technology, Dynamic Peak Power (DPP) The KTA-450 features Alpine’s exclusive Dynamic Peak Power (DPP). DPP intelligently adjusts the gain to adapt to musical needs. DPP prevents the KTA-450 from clipping by supplying up to double the power for sudden, dynamic sounds. DPP ensures music sounds the way it should at high volumes and boosts the KTA-450 to 400 watts DPP, doubling its power without increasing its size.
Compact Size For Hidden Installation Applications The KTA-450 measures just 7” W x 3.5” H x 1.25” D. For vehicles that do not have the space for a traditional amplifier, the KTA-450’s small size allows it to be tucked away in hidden areas such as in the glove box or behind the radio. It could even be used in a motorcycle’s saddlebag or on a boat.
Simple Installation For Use With Any Radio Thanks to the efficient power needs of the DPP technology, the KTA-450 does not require a new power supply wire at the battery, so installation is fast using the supplied radio power wires. In addition, the KTA-450 uses a 22-pin power harness with a recessed design on one side, so the cables can be tucked-in for a cleaner, less-bulky installation.
JL Audio JD400/4 400 Watt 4-Channel Full-Range Class D Amplifier
Utilizing our exclusive NexD™ high-speed switching technologies, the JD400/4 amplifier is engineered to deliver loads of clean power, with excellent efficiency and low distortion. This little guy churns out 100 watts of audio from each of its four channels into 2 ohms (14.4V, 1% THD) and is fully bridgeable, so it can be used as a 3-channel amplifier, or as a 2-channel amplifier producing a whopping 200W x 2 into 4 ohms.
The JD400/4’s controls can be found on the input panel of the amplifier, with all speaker and power connections located along the opposite end of the extruded aluminum chassis. Signal processing features include high or low-pass 12 dB / octave filters (defeatable) for each channel pair, with continuously variable frequency selection from 50-500 Hz, and dual-range, differential-balanced inputs capable of accepting line-level or speaker-level signals. Automatic turn-on capability (via signal sensing or DC-offset sensing) is standard equipment.
Onboard LED-clipping indicators are also included surrounding each input sensitivity control. This convenient feature lets you set your amplifier’s input sensitivity, quickly and accurately, without special equipment. You will also find a set of buffered, pass-through preamp outputs on-board, so you can pass signals to another amplifier.
