AudioControl ACM-1.300

ACM Series compact mono subwoofer amplifier — 300 watts RMS x 1 at 2 ohms

Play your bass loud and clear

It's always a problem finding a good spot for a sub amp in smaller vehicles. AudioControl comes to the rescue with their compact ACM-1.300 mono amp, which delivers up to 300 watts RMS to your subwoofer. This tiny, hand-size amplifier will fit almost anywhere in almost any kind of vehicle, improving the bass and the power of your music. Even better, it features high-level inputs with signal-sensing turn-on, so it'll work with almost any stereo system, even one using a factory radio.

Practical features

To simplify setup, a "Maximized" LED indicates when you've set the amplifier's gain for optimum performance. AudioControl's tunable AccuBASS circuitry restores and enhances the low-frequency punch in your system, which factory radios often attenuate to protect the stock speakers. An optional wired remote will let you control the bass level from the front seat of your car.

Advanced materials and engineering

Polk Audio rethinks their legendary Mobile Monitor Series subs. Their MM1 Series subwoofers offer superior performance from lighter materials, so you'll get the impact you want without the extra weight of a conventional sub. They use advanced engineering and optimized components to reproduce your sound with uncompromising accuracy, and Polk built these marine-certified subs to take some serious abuse.

Efficient power handling

The MM 1042 DVC 10" subwoofer handles up to 400 watts RMS, with a titanium-coated polymer cone that'll stand the test of time. This sub's dual 4-ohm voice coils allow you to wire your system to draw max power from your mono amp or to safely hook up multiple subs. The fiberglass-reinforced ABS basket resists flexing during heavy excursion, so your sub hits hard without distorting. The sub's inner workings are designed to handle the stress of heavy bass, so go ahead and turn it up.

Marine-certified

This sub has earned Advanced Ultra-Marine certification and an IP56 rating, which means it'll deliver powerful bass in some challenging conditions. The composite cone, waterproof surrounds, stainless steel mounting hardware, and ABS basket all resist corrosion, and the sub even features weep holes for proper drainage
