Class D Topology
----------------
A class-D or sw amplifier is an electronic amplifier where
all power devices (usually MOSFETs) are operated as binary
switches. They are either fully on or fully off. Ideally, zero
time is spent transitioning between those two states. In this
way, power loss is significantly reduced, making a D class
amplifier anywhere from 75% to 95% efficient. To maintain high
efficiency, the filter is made with purely reactive components
(inductors and capacitors), which store the excess energy until
it is needed instead of converting some of it into heat. Some
other advantages include reduction in size and weight, reduced
power waste as heat dissipation and hence smaller (or no) heat
sinks, and reduction in cost due to smaller heat sink and compact
circuitry.

MOSFET Power Supply
-------------------
A Metal–Oxide–Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor is a
transistor used for amplifying or sw electronic signals,
found in systems where information is processed or stored. We use
them in our computers, telephones, game consoles, cars,
electrical appliances, and, in this case, amplifiers. A MOSFET is
basically an electrical switch with two possible states - on or
off - that allows the flow of electrical current. The MOSFET
performs its most important role in our D Class amplifiers by
allowing or preventing the flow of power and creating an
efficient amplifier.
1 Ohm Stable
------------
The PH4000D is a one ohm stable amplifier which is able to
continuously power loads of one ohm X one channel without
encountering difficulties such as overheating. Almost all car
amplifiers are at least four ohm stable and some are two ohm
stable. One Ohm stable amplifiers are typically made to power up
subwoofers that demand the heavier power load requirements to be
able to perform the way they were made to perform.

Low Level Inputs With Pre-Amp Outputs
-------------------------------------
A low level input is measured in volts. It comes in the form of
RCA (low level) outputs on the back of your head unit and goes to
the RCA inputs on your amplifier (Right/Left). With that in mind,
you can take control of more power by connecting more amplifiers
together using the RCA pre-amp outputs (Right/Left) from your
primary amplifier straight to the RCA inputs of a second or
satellite amplifier (Right/Left).
Variable Subsonic Filter

Variable Subsonic Filter
------------------------
Subwoofers start to bottom out trying to reproduce low-frequency
signals that are below their abilities to sound off. Bottoming
out is more a mechanical problem and happens when the subwoofer
driver reaches the limit of its excursion and creates a clacking
or flapping sound instead of the low frequency entering its voice
coils. If your sub is bottoming out, short of changing the driver
into one that has better low-frequency handling, you can try the
PH4000D, which has a subsonic filter to filter out frequencies
below its specified low frequency limits.
Variable Crossover

Variable Crossover
------------------
Subwoofers reproduce sound based low range frequencies. This
process is called the crossover effect and occurs because the
vast majority of audio systems cannot cover the entire spectrum
sufficiently to minimize sound distortion and maintain an
appropriate frequency ratio. In the case of our PH4000D
amplifier, a variable crossover is offered so that you, the
listener, can have the ability to set the frequency at which the
crossover occurs, thereby setting precise sound specifications on
your subwoofer.

Strapping Capable
-----------------
This sounds like exactly what you might be thinking. You are able
to strap your PH4000D amplifier to another PH4000D amplifier and
double the power that is being sent to your subwoofer(s). You now
have the ability to connect more subwoofers to take advantage of
the extra power.
Variable Bass Boost

Variable Bass Boost
-------------------
With the PH4000D amplifier you have Variable Bass Boost, which
gives you control of exactly how much bass you want to pump out
to your subwoofer(s).
