Running all six channels at maximum power simultaneously demands robust electrical infrastructure including high-output alternator, proper wiring gauge, and adequate battery capacity. Weight 2.63kg (5.8 lbs) Frequently Asked Questions Can I run this amplifier with a standard aftermarket head unit?Only if your head unit or DSP provides six independent preamp outputs. Most standard head units offer 2-4 channels of preamp output—you'll need a 6-channel DSP or signal processor to feed all channels. Alternatively, use a marine source unit with 6-channel capability or run the amplifier with fewer active channels. 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. This provides three bridged outputs at 200W each, ideal for marine tower speakers or compact subwoofers. Ensure speakers are rated for 4Ω minimum impedance when bridging. You can also mix configurations: bridge two pairs, leave two channels unbridged. What size alternator do I need to run all six channels at full power?Minimum 90A alternator for sustained full-power operation. At maximum output (600W), the amplifier draws approximately 60-65A from the electrical system. Factor in other electrical loads (navigation, pumps, lights) and ensure your alternator provides adequate reserve capacity. Undersized alternators cause voltage drop and potential thermal protection shutdown. Can I use this in a ski boat with tower speakers and cabin speakers?Yes, perfect application. Bridge channels 1+2 and 3+4 for 200W × 2 to tower speakers, use channels 5&6 unbridged for 75W × 2 to cabin speakers. Alternatively, run all six channels unbridged for complete cabin/cockpit coverage at 75-100W per zone. The variable filtering allows precise tuning for different speaker types and mounting locations. How do I set up independent zone control for different areas?Use channels 1&2 for Zone 1 (cabin), 3&4 for Zone 2 (cockpit/tower), and 5&6 for Zone 3 (rear/helm). The optional HD-RLC remote controls master volume. For true zone-independent control, install separate zone controllers or use a DSP with zone management feeding the amplifier. The three independent filter banks allow different crossover settings per zone.Legendary Products & Support From Authorized Dealers When you choose Frankies BrandBeast, you're choosing quality and performance.

Verify subwoofer impedance and wiring configuration before connection to avoid damage. Weight 2.79kg (6.15 lbs) Frequently Asked Questions Can I run component speakers on all four main channels?Yes. The XDM700/5 is ideal for two pairs of component speakers (front and rear) plus a subwoofer. Use the high-pass filter on channels 1&2 for front components, high-pass or bandpass on channels 3&4 for rear components, and low-pass on the subwoofer channel. The x10 multiplier on channels 1&2 allows tweeter protection up to 5kHz. What's the difference between the high-pass and bandpass filter modes on channels 3&4?High-pass mode passes frequencies above the cutoff point (50Hz-500Hz)—ideal for full-range coaxial speakers. Bandpass mode passes frequencies within a specific range—useful for 3-way systems where channels 3&4 handle midrange duties between tweeters (channels 1&2) and subwoofer (channel 5). Configure based on your speaker type and system design. Can I bridge the main channels for higher power to tower speakers?Yes. Bridge channels 1+2 and/or 3+4 for 200W per bridged pair at 4Ω load. This is perfect for marine tower speakers requiring more power than the 75-100W per channel. Note that bridging disables individual channel filtering—use external crossovers or full-range tower speakers when bridged. What subwoofer impedance should I use for maximum power?Wire your subwoofer to 2Ω for maximum 300W output. Use a single 2Ω subwoofer, or a dual-voice-coil 4Ω subwoofer wired in parallel to achieve 2Ω. The amplifier does NOT support 1.5Ω loads. At 4Ω, the amp delivers 180W—adequate for many applications with lower electrical system demands. How do I set up the remote level control for subwoofer-only adjustment?Connect the optional HD-RLC or MHD-RLC remote and configure the amplifier's remote level mode switch to "Sub Channel" mode. This allows bass adjustment without affecting main speaker volumes—perfect for compensating between moored and underway listening, or adjusting bass levels based on music genre without retuning the entire system.Legendary Products & Support From Authorized Dealers When you choose Frankies BrandBeast, you're choosing quality and performance.
