With 100W RMS per channel at 2Ω (800W total) or 90W per channel at 4Ω (720W total), this marine-rated Class D platform drives complete audio systems including cabin speakers, tower speakers, and helm zones from a single amplifier. The 24V-specific design operates optimally at 25-28.8V input, making it ideal for diesel-powered vessels, commercial fishing boats, and work trucks running dual 12V battery configurations in series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eBuilt on JL Audio's proven XDM architecture with marine-grade conformal coating, the 8-channel configuration allows flexible system design: run all eight channels independently, bridge pairs for higher power to four zones, or combine configurations for mixed full-range and subwoofer applications. Variable high-pass and low-pass filtering on all channel pairs (50Hz-500Hz, 12dB\/octave slopes) enables precise tuning for different speaker types and mounting locations. At 374mm wide with a 40A fuse rating and 4 AWG wire compatibility, the XDM800 represents the ultimate commercial marine amplification solution for Australian charter operators, commercial fishermen, and fleet managers demanding reliability in harsh coastal conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e8-channel Class D amplifier designed for 24V electrical systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum rated power (28.8V @ 2Ω, \u0026lt;1% THD): 100W RMS × 8 channels (800W total)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower at 4Ω load (28.8V @ 4Ω, \u0026lt;1% THD): 90W RMS × 8 channels (720W total)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBridged power (28.8V @ 4Ω, \u0026lt;1% THD): 180W RMS × 4 channels (720W total bridged)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower at 2Ω load (25V @ 2Ω, \u0026lt;1% THD): 100W RMS × 8 channels (800W total)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower at 4Ω load (25V @ 4Ω, \u0026lt;1% THD): 90W RMS × 8 channels (720W total)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBridged power (25V @ 4Ω, \u0026lt;1% THD): 180W RMS × 4 channels (720W total bridged)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eOperating voltage: 24V DC systems (designed for 25-28.8V input)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eFrequency response: 12Hz-22kHz (+0, -1dB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eSignal-to-noise ratio: \u0026gt;104dB (A-weighted, 20Hz-20kHz, referred to rated power) - applicable to 6-channel 24V model, not specified separately for 8-channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eTHD+N: \u0026lt;1% @ rated power, 2Ω per channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eInput voltage range: Not specified for 24V models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eDamping factor: Not specified for 24V models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eFilter modes (Channels 1 \u0026amp; 2): Not specified for 24V 8-channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eFilter modes (Channels 3 \u0026amp; 4): Not specified for 24V 8-channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eFilter modes (Channels 5 \u0026amp; 6): Not specified for 24V 8-channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eFilter modes (Channels 7 \u0026amp; 8): Not specified for 24V 8-channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eDimensions: 374mm (W) × 180mm (D) × 52mm (H)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eWeight: Not specified for 24V 8-channel variant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eFuse rating: 40A (AFS, AGU or MaxiFuse™ recommended)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eMinimum power\/ground wire: 4 AWG copper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eRemote level control: Optional HD-RLC or MHD-RLC (water-resistant)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eMarine-rated construction suitable for wet\/harsh environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e3-year manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e24V Commercial Marine Design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePurpose-built for 24V electrical systems common in commercial vessels, charter boats, and heavy transport.
