Our take on the DS18 SXE-3000.4D 4-Channel Full-Range Class D Amplifier

The DS18 SXE-3000.4D is a compact 4-channel Class D full-range car amplifier rated 200W x 4 at 4 ohms, 320W x 4 at 2 ohms, and 500W x 2 bridged. It is under 10 inches long and 1.8 inches tall, so it fits under a seat or in tight spaces where full-size amps will not. Selectable HPF, full-range and LPF crossovers let it drive door speakers, a sub, or both from one chassis. It suits budget-minded builds that want Class D efficiency and small footprint, though it is a value-brand amp rather than a premium SQ piece.

About the DS18 SXE-3000.4D 4-Channel Full-Range Class D Amplifier

The DS18 SXE-3000.4D is a full-range 4-channel Class D amplifier. It is rated at 200W x 4 at 4 ohms, 320W x 4 at 2 ohms, or 500W x 2 bridged at 4 ohms. The peak power rating is 3000W.

It is just under 10 inches long and 1.8 inches tall, so it can fit in compact installations such as under a seat. A selectable HPF/FULL/LPF crossover, adjustable crossovers and gain controls let it run door speakers, a subwoofer, or both.

Built-in protection covers thermal shutdown, overload, short circuit, voltage fluctuation and clipping. LED indicators show power, protect and clip status. The finish is black brushed aluminum, and the amplifier is sold individually.

Questions and answers

Can it run four speakers and a sub?
Yes. You can run four channels to speakers, or bridge two channels into a sub and use the other two for speakers. The selectable HPF, full and LPF modes let you set each pair separately.
Is it really 3000 watts?
No. That is a peak marketing figure. Real ratings are 200W x 4 at 4 ohms, 320W x 4 at 2 ohms and 500W x 2 bridged.
Will it fit under a car seat?
It is just under 10 inches long and 1.8 inches tall, so it fits in many under-seat spaces where full-size amps do not. Measure your space before buying.
Does it need a big power wire?
A 4-channel Class D of this rating needs a proper gauge power and ground run and an inline fuse. Follow DS18's manual for wire gauge and fusing.
Can I use it with a factory radio?
Yes, it takes speaker-level or line-level input depending on your wiring. A line output converter may be needed with some factory head units.
