Description
Included in this kit
This bundle includes a JL Audio RBC-1:Remote Bass Control, and a JL Audio RD500/1 500W Class D Monoblock Subwoofer Amplifier.
1x JL Audio RBC-1:Remote Bass Control - (RBC-1)
JL Audio RBC-1:Ā Remote Bass Control
Remote Bass Control for Select JL Audio Amplifiers
The RBC-1 remotely controls the Bass Level of the following JL Audio amplifiers:
JX-Series: JX250/1, JX500/1, JX1000/1D
When the RBC-1 is connected to the above amplifiers, it acts as an attenuator on the input gain of the amplifier and is used to adjust the overall level of the amplifier from the front of the vehicle.
The RBC-1 remotely controls the Bass EQ boost feature of the following JL Audio amplifiers:
Slash v2 Series: 250/1v2, 500/1v2, 1000/1v2, 450/4v2
Original Slash Series: 500/1, 1000/1, 450/4, 500/5
G-Series: All Models
A-Series: All Models
e-Series: All Models (including marine versions)
M-Series: M1400, M1700, M2150, M2250, M4300, M4500, M6450, M6600
When the RBC-1 is connected to the above amplifiers, the on-board "Boost" control of the amplifier is defeated and the RBC-1 becomes the active controller.
The RBC-1 kit includes the rotary control with a black ABS knob, mounting hardware and one 18 ft. (5.5 m) cable.
A satin-finish aluminum knob can be purchased separately.
1x JL Audio RD500/1 500W Class D Monoblock Subwoofer Amplifier - (RD500/1)
RD500/1
Monoblock Class D Subwoofer Amplifier, 500 W x 1 @ 2 Ī© / 250 W x 1 @ 4 Ī© - 14.4V
Born to produce a whopping 500 watts into 2 ohms (14.4V, 1% THD), the RD500/1 amplifier was engineered to generate tons of pure subwoofer bliss from a sleek, ultra-compact chassis. The secret behind its power proficiency is our proprietary NexD⢠switching technology, which delivers large amounts of power output with precise efficiency and ultra-low distortion.
For your convenience, the RD500/1ās controls are located on top of the amplifier, beneath a protective cover, with all connections found along one side of its chassis. Signal processing features include a 12 dB / octave low-pass filter, with continuously variable frequency selection from 50-500 Hz, and a variable bass boost EQ. Dual-range, differential-balanced inputs are also on-hand, capable of accepting most input voltage levels. Automatic turn-on capability (via signal sensing or DC-offset sensing) is standard, along with a set of preamp outputs so you can easily pass signals to another amplifier.
The RD500/1 is also equipped with an onboard LED-clipping indicator. This all-new, innovative feature lets you easily set your amplifierās input sensitivity setting, quickly and accurately, with no special equipment needed. The RD500/1 features a durable, black powder-coated finish and a top-mounted, dual-color LED light strip that reports the overall status and condition. With the addition of an RBC-1 remote level control (sold separately), you can control the subwoofer output directly from the driverās seat.
