Bridge adjacent channel pairs (1+2, 3+4, 5+6, 7+8) for 180W RMS per bridged pair at 4Ω load. This allows four bridged outputs at 180W each, ideal for marine tower speakers or subwoofers requiring more power than single-channel 100W output. What wire gauge do I need for a 24V installation?Minimum 4 AWG copper power and ground wire with 40A fuse (AFS, AGU, or MaxiFuse™) within 45cm of battery positive terminal. Use marine-grade tinned copper wire for saltwater applications. Unlike 12V systems drawing higher current, 24V systems typically require less current for equivalent power, but maintain proper gauge for voltage drop prevention. Will this work in my coach bus or heavy truck with 24V electrical system?Yes, if your vehicle has a true 24V DC system (dual 12V batteries in series) operating at 25-28.8V. Common in commercial buses, heavy transport, and some recreational vehicles with diesel engines. Verify voltage with multimeter before installation—24V nominal systems typically read 25-28V depending on charge state. How do I set up multi-zone audio with independent volume control?Use channels 1&2 for Zone 1 (cabin), 3&4 for Zone 2 (cockpit), 5&6 for Zone 3 (flybridge), and 7&8 for Zone 4 (tower speakers). The optional HD-RLC remote controls master volume. For zone-independent control, install separate volume controls in each zone, or use a marine audio processor with zone management feeding the amplifier inputs.Legendary Products & Support From Authorized Dealers When you choose Frankies BrandBeast, you're choosing quality and performance.

It will NOT operate on standard 12V automotive/marine systems. Verify your vessel or vehicle operates at 24V before ordering. Use in vessels with positive ground and/or voltages other than 24V will result in damage to the product and void the warranty. For 12V applications, consider the standard XDM 6-channel 12V variant. Frequently Asked Questions Is this amplifier compatible with my 12V boat electrical system?No. This model requires a 24V DC negative-ground system (22-29V input range). It's designed for commercial vessels, charter boats, and heavy vehicles with dual 12V batteries wired in series. Attempting to use it on a 12V system will result in insufficient power and potential damage. For 12V applications, you need the standard XDM 6-channel 12V model. Can I bridge channels for higher power to tower speakers or subwoofers?Yes. Bridge adjacent channel pairs (1+2, 3+4, 5+6) for 200W RMS per bridged pair at 4Ω load (28.8V input). This allows three bridged outputs at 200W each, ideal for marine tower speakers or subwoofers requiring more power than single-channel 100W output. You can also mix configurations: bridge channels 1+2 and 3+4 for 200W front speakers, leave channels 5&6 unbridged for 75W rear fill. What is the staggered-power configuration mentioned in the description?Bridge four channels (1+2 and 3+4) for 200W × 2 @ 4Ω to front speakers, while leaving channels 5&6 unbridged for 75W × 2 @ 4Ω to rear speakers. This provides maximum power where needed (front soundstage) while conserving electrical capacity for rear fill. Alternatively, bridge channels 1+2 and 3+4 for two subwoofers at 200W each, plus channels 5&6 for satellite speakers at 75W × 2. How does the automatic turn-on work without a remote wire?The amplifier features dual-mode detection: signal sensing (detects audio signal on RCA inputs) or DC-offset sensing (detects DC voltage from source unit). This enables integration with factory systems that don't provide remote turn-on output. Select the appropriate mode based on your source unit—signal sensing for aftermarket units, DC-offset for many factory systems. Eliminates complex wiring modifications in commercial fleet installations. What does "marine-grade construction" mean if it's not waterproof?Marine-grade construction includes conformal-coated circuit boards to resist salt spray, moisture, and corrosion in marine environments. The gasketed removable top cover protects controls from moisture ingress. However, the amplifier is not waterproof/submersible—mount away from direct water streams, bilge flooding, or areas subject to washdown. Suitable for protected equipment bays, under helm panels, or in cabin locations with normal marine moisture exposure.Legendary Products & Support From Authorized Dealers When you choose Frankies BrandBeast, you're choosing quality and performance.
