JL Audio XD1000/5v2 - 5-Channel Class D System Amplifier

JL Audio XD1000/5v2 - 5-Channel Class D System Amplifier

The XD1000/5v2 delivers up to 1000 W of clean power and is ideal for an audiophile-grade, subwoofer + four satellite system. With this potent amplifier, you can drive two pairs of quality component speaker systems with plenty of clean power (75 W x 4 @ 4 Ω), while also delivering a stout 600 W of power to a subwoofer system. The breakthrough that makes this much power possible in such a small chassis is our NexD™ switching amplifier design.

The XD1000/5v2 includes a 12 dB / octave high-pass filter for one main channel pair, a 12 dB octave high-pass or bandpass filter for the other main channel pair, plus a variable slope low-pass filter for its subwoofer channel. All three filters offer continuously variable cutoff frequency selection from 50-500 Hz. This amplifier's filters can also be configured as a true 3-way crossover, with a low-pass filter for the subwoofer channel, a bandpass filter on Ch. 3 & 4, and a high-pass filter on Ch. 1 & 2. An 'x10' multiplier switch on the Ch. 1 & 2 high-pass filter allows its cutoff frequency to be adjusted from 50-500 Hz or 500-5000 Hz. 

The XD1000/5v2 also features the v2 Spec feature set, which consists of automatic turn-on capability (via signal sensing or DC-offset sensing), and a dual-range differential-balanced input section able to handle a wide range of input voltage levels. With the addition of an HD-RLC remote level control (sold separately), the amplifier's level can be directly controlled from the driver's seat.

This amplifier features a black powder-coat finish and a gasketed, brushed aluminum cover for the controls.

Maintenance Tips

• Check Connections Regularly: Ensure all wiring and connections are secure and free from corrosion. Loose or damaged connections can affect performance and lead to malfunction.
• Keep Ventilation Clear: Ensure the amplifier has proper airflow around it. Clean air vents regularly to prevent dust or debris buildup, which could cause overheating.
• Inspect for Overheating: Periodically check if the amplifier feels too hot during operation. If it does, improve ventilation or reposition it to prevent overheating and ensure efficient performance.
• Clean the Exterior: Wipe the amplifier's exterior with a soft cloth to remove dust and dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the surface.
• Monitor Audio Performance: Pay attention to any changes in sound quality, such as distortion or loss of volume, which could indicate issues with the amplifier or wiring.
• Secure Mounting: Make sure the amplifier is securely mounted to prevent movement or vibration, which could damage internal components over time.
• Protect from Moisture: Ensure the amplifier is kept away from moisture or water to prevent electrical damage. Store in a dry area when not in use.
• Check for Signal Clipping: Avoid overdriving the amplifier, as signal clipping can damage both the amplifier and connected speakers. Keep volume levels within safe operating limits.
• Inspect Fuse and Circuit Protection: Regularly check the amplifier’s fuse and circuit protection systems to ensure they are functioning correctly to prevent damage from power surges.
• Routine Checks: Perform periodic checks of the amplifier’s internal components (if accessible) for signs of wear, corrosion, or damage, and seek professional repair if needed.
