Libertyville, Ill. – NEW Ground Pounder (GP) amplifiers deliver deep impact in power and undistorted levels of clarity for all audio playback. Powered by QTD Technology and featuring built-in electronic crossovers, this series of amplifiers will become the flagship leader in power provided by Crunch. GP-3500.1D GROUND POUNDER AMPLIFIER Brian Sherman, Vice President of Product & Marketing for Maxxsonics USA said, “This line of amplifiers that we created here will provide undistorted clarity and powerful feedback like never before. We pushed the ceiling in creating the Ground Pounder amplifier series and we’ve set a new expectation for Crunch in what could be possible with creating big power, coupled with no distortion.”

These amplifiers feature technology that include SPEED-FET MOSFET components that maximize power efficiency, while improving sound quality and minimizing distortion, a fully adjustable electronic equalizer, and High Level Inputs that easily tie into OEM audio systems that do not offer RCA output to maximize aftermarket amplifier power.

FEATURES INCLUDE:

  • LOW NOISE PREAMPLIFIER CIRCUIT: Maximum low voltage signal from the source unit comes into the amplifier through a low voltage circuit, which delivers minimal distortion through the amplification process.
  • RCA INPUTS: Highest sound quality connection with quality RCA materials to help prevent interference and minimize distortion in the signal path.
  • HEAT SINK QTD: Technology Aluminum: Quick Thermal Dispersion Technology assures additional mass in the aluminum heat sink keeps the amplifier running cool with nearly undetectable distortions during normal music listening.
  • LED SYSTEM PROTECTION CIRCUITRY DIAGNOSTICS: Monitor overload and speaker short protection with lighted indicators on the amplifier end panel.
  • POWER SUPPLY: High energy Pulse Width Modulated power supply delivers power with minimal impact on the electrical system.
