1x JL Audio AP600/6 - 6-Channel Compact 600-Watt Marine Amplifier - (AP600/6)
JL Audio AP600/6 – 6-Channel Staggered-Power Class-D Marine Amplifier
The JL Audio AP600/6 is a staggered-power 6-channel Class-D amplifier from the AP marine series, designed to deliver up to 600 watts of clean, efficient power from a compact, IP67-rated chassis. With four full-range channels plus a higher-power fifth/sixth channel pair, it can drive multiple speaker zones and a dedicated subwoofer from one amplifier, making it ideal for boats and powersports builds with several listening areas.
Staggered 6-Channel Power for Multi-Zone Systems
The AP600/6 is the most versatile amplifier in the AP lineup, with four full-range channels for speakers and a higher-powered fifth/sixth channel pair optimized for subwoofers or additional full-range zones. Its Class-D design provides strong output while keeping current draw manageable on marine electrical systems.
At 14.4 V and less than 1% THD, channels 1–4 are rated for 50 watts x 4 into 4 ohms or 75 watts x 4 into 2 ohms. Channels 5–6 provide 100 watts x 2 into 4 ohms, and can be bridged for up to 300 watts x 1 into 4 ohms. Bridging channels 1–4 yields up to 150 watts x 2 at 4 ohms. This staggered layout gives you the flexibility to power several speaker pairs and a subwoofer from one amplifier.
- 6-channel Class-D amplifier with staggered power for multi-zone marine and powersports systems.
- Channels 1–4: 50 W x 4 @ 4 Ω / 75 W x 4 @ 2 Ω; 150 W x 2 @ 4 Ω bridged (14.4 V, <1% THD).
- Channels 5–6: 100 W x 2 @ 4 Ω; 150 W x 2 @ 2 Ω; 300 W x 1 @ 4 Ω bridged (14.4 V, <1% THD).
- Full-range frequency response from 20 Hz–20 kHz (+0, -1 dB) on all channels for wide-band audio coverage.
- Signal-to-noise ratio >70 dB (A-weighted, 20 Hz–20 kHz, referred to 1 W) to maintain low system noise.
LCD On-Amp Control, Easy Tune & Marine Durability
A built-in LCD display gives you direct access to key amplifier settings right on the amp, simplifying setup and adjustment in tight installation spaces. For faster configuration, the AP600/6 supports the Easy Tune feature when used with a Fusion® stereo with built-in DSP and the Fusion® Audio app, allowing profile-based amplifier setup focused on sound quality and speaker protection.
The amplifier chassis carries an IP67 water and dust rating (excluding cables) and is ignition protected, making it suitable for demanding marine environments and appropriate engine compartment installations. Its compact size and efficient thermal design allow it to be tucked away while still reliably powering multiple zones.
- Built-in LCD display for manual control and configuration of amplifier settings.
- Easy Tune feature supported when paired with compatible Fusion® stereos and Fusion® Audio app.
- IP67-rated amplifier chassis (excluding cables) for water and dust resistance in marine use.
- Ignition protected design for compliant installation in suitable engine compartments.
- Physical dimensions (6-channel): 1.86" (H) x 11.81" (W) x 5.90" (D) / 47 x 300 x 150 mm.
