Monoblock Amplifier with VM-1 Voltmeter and Digital LED Lights
A spectacular amp
Building a car stereo system to show off and brag about? Make sure to power the subwoofer with one of these spectacular-looking car amplifiers from DS18 and Steve Meade Designs. The SMD-8500.1D monoblock amplifier dazzles with a transparent top that lets you see the internal electronics, an animated dynamic voltage meter so you can monitor system performance at a glance, a programmable multi-colored and multi-patterned LED array light show for some bling and fun, and up to 8500 watts of power for your high-performance subwoofer system to play with.
Tech specs
The SMD-8500.1D puts out 3300 watts RMS at 4 ohms, 5700 watts RMS at 2 ohms, and 8500 watts RMS at 1 ohm. Bass-blasters and pros can link two SMD-8500.1Ds together to achieve a 17,000-watt output. Employing premium Korean-made electronic components and high-grade pure oxygen-free copper internal wiring, the amp uses Class D amplifier technology for a maximum-efficiency power output.
Tuning controls
Adjustable crossover filters let you tune the amp for a wide range of subwoofers. A bass-boost, phase switch, and the included wired remote all help you control the bass. Speaking of remotes: the included wireless remote control for the RGB LED accent lighting lets you change the colors, patterns, and sequences they display.
Introducing the SMD-8500.1D— engineered by DS18 in collaboration with Steve Meade Designs. Built for superior audio performance, it features premium Korean components and Sky High Car Audio’s OFC Internal Wiring. With DS18’s reputation as the LOUDEST in pro audio and Steve Meade’s industry-standard installation peripherals, this amp is built for extreme power and convenience.
“When we first started working on the SMD amplifiers with DS18, I made it clear that these amplifiers needed to stand out from the rest," says Steve Meade.
With the SMD-8500.1D, we achieved that and more. What sets the SMD-8500.1D apart is its unique clear half-top design ensuring efficient heat dissipation through a reverse-mounted board and dual cooling fans. It also features an exclusive built-in SMD VM-1 digital/analog-style LED voltmeter that monitors power draw in real-time. Customizable RGB lighting adds another layer of personalization, allowing you to match your vehicle’s interior or create dynamic light displays.
Manufactured using premium components from Korea, this amplifier guarantees the reliability and powerful bass amplification that DS18 is known for. The SMD-8500.1D is not only visually striking but also engineered for top-tier performance. It delivers an impressive 8500W RMS at 1-ohm, driving even the most demanding subwoofer setups with ease.
Crafted with precision using only the best components, DS18’s SMD-8500.1D is a monoblock amplifier capable of powering high-output subwoofers with deep, controlled bass. Its advanced protection suite includes thermal overload, DC output, short circuit, and voltage input protection, ensuring safe operation in any setup.
Push the limits of what’s possible with the SMD-8500.1D’s groundbreaking design and raw power!
