Class D technology enables it to run cool while putting out 100 watts RMS into each of 4 channels, according to Alpine. Key Features Your Customers Will Like: Dual mode: Use in 4-channel mode, or get twice the power per channel in 2-channel mode Space-saver: The PDX-4.100M fits in tight spaces at a little over 10x8x2 inches Stackable: The amplifier is the same size as its PDX-1.600 mono counterpart, and the amps can be stacked to save room
Editors’ Take: “Alpine has always made good-looking components, and this is no exception. This is easily an amp that begs for a cus- tom install, where it’s shown rather than hidden away.”
MB QUART NAUTIC NAU660 MARINE AMPLIFIER Featuring a very businesslike appearance, the NAU660 is part of the 3-amp Nautic series line. Unlike other marine equipment, it carries a two-tone brushed aluminum exterior as opposed to white, but its components are still UV and salt water resistant, says the company. Key Features Your Customers Will Like: They Recognize It: The NAU660 more closely resembles a car amplifier than other brands’ marine products 6 speakers; No Waiting: Company specs rate the NAU660 at 6 channels x 60 watts at 4 ohms Flexible: Wide variety of controls allow the amp to be tailored to any boat’s audio system configuration
Editors’ Take: “The NAU660 can handle 3 or 6 channels, making it ideal for small or large sub-equipped systems. Built-in diagnos-
tics let the installer and user know exactly what is going on with the outputs.” MARINE SPEAKERS
DUAL DMS652 MARINE SPEAKER Power ratings are important for speakers, but elemental ratings are just as important for marine speakers like the DMS652. Dual says the entire line (4 models) uses magnetically shielded woofers, 1-piece formed ABS baskets and stainless steel hardware to stand up to nature. Key Features Your Customers Will Like: Drop-In Design: The entire DMS and DMP lines fit standard 6.5-inch and 6x9-inch holes, providing an instant audio upgrade Coaxial: Separate drivers provide clearer sound, especially with high noise levels Power-ready: The DMS652 is rated to take on up to 65 watts RMS and 175 watts peak, according to Dual
Editors’ Take: “These would be your go-to economy drivers in most cases. The ‘nautical flag’ design matches the rest of their marine line. The budget boater would be more than happy with this.”
