Our take on the DS18 4-Channel Class D Amplifier

The DS18 ZR800.4D is a four-channel Class D car amplifier rated at 200 watts RMS per channel into 4 ohms and 320 watts per channel into 2 ohms. Bridged, it delivers 600 watts into two 4-ohm loads, so it can drive a front stage and a subwoofer pair from one chassis. Class D operation keeps it smaller and cooler-running than the class AB amps it competes with, and DS18's ZR line is aimed at loud, budget-minded builds. It suits drivers who want strong output per channel without a bulky amp rack.

Pros
  • High RMS output for its size: 200 W x 4 at 4 ohms, 320 W x 4 at 2 ohms
  • Bridged mode gives 600 W x 2 into 4 ohms for subwoofers
  • Class D design runs cooler and draws less current than class AB
  • Four channels cover front and rear speakers or a sub pair
  • DS18's ZR line is known for aggressive output at a low entry point
Cons
  • Not 1-ohm stable per channel, so very low-impedance sub builds are out
  • Class D amps can be less forgiving of poor electrical grounding
  • DS18's budget lines have a mixed reputation for long-term reliability
  • No built-in DSP or advanced tuning features

Questions and answers

Is the ZR800.4D stable at 1 ohm per channel?
No. It is rated for 4-ohm and 2-ohm loads per channel, with 4-ohm bridging. Very low-impedance sub builds need a different amp.
Can it run two subwoofers and front speakers at once?
Yes. Bridge two channels into a 4-ohm sub load for 600 watts, and use the other two channels for front speakers.
Does it have a built-in DSP or crossover tuning?
It is a straightforward Class D amplifier without DSP. Tuning comes from your head unit or an external processor.
How much power does it make in total?
About 800 watts RMS across four channels at 4 ohms, and more at 2 ohms per channel or bridged.
What comes in the box?
The amplifier itself with its mounting hardware. Wiring and installation parts are sold separately.
Where is the DS18 4-Channel Class D Amplifier cheapest?
