DD Audio
SS5
ddaudio.com

The new SS5 amplifier is the perfect one-amp solution to a clean and powerful high performance car audio system. Capable of driving a real DD system small enough for a hidden installation, the new SS5 builds on the discrete full range class D technology that debuted in the SS two- and four-channel amps. This five-channel amp delivers 125 W x 4 (at four ohms), 200 W x 4 (at two ohms) + 850 at one ohm and can deliver over 2,000 watts of dynamic power on demand. High-end sound quality, low battery drain and mind-blowing power in an impossibly small SS chassis that fi ts in the palm of a rather large hand.
