Our take on the JL Audio Rd400 4 Channel Class-D Amplifier

The JL Audio RD400 is a four-channel Class-D car amplifier rated at 75 watts per channel at 4 ohms and 180 watts bridged, with a compact 9.8 by 7 inch footprint. It runs cool and draws little current for its output, which makes it a practical choice for powering front and rear speakers or a bridged subwoofer channel. JL Audio's build quality and tuning controls (high-pass and low-pass filters) are its main draws against budget Class-AB rivals. It is not rated for marine use, so boat owners should look elsewhere.

Questions and answers

How much power does the RD400 make?
It is rated at 75 watts RMS per channel at 4 ohms and 180 watts bridged into two channels. That is enough for most door and rear speakers.
Can I bridge it to run a subwoofer?
Yes. Channels can be bridged in pairs, so you can run two speakers and one bridged subwoofer, or two bridged subwoofers.
Is it good for a boat?
No. It is not rated for marine use, so it should stay in a car or other dry, enclosed space.
Does it have a built-in crossover?
Yes. It has high-pass and low-pass filters so you can tune what each channel plays.
What fuse does it need?
It uses a 40A fuse, with AGU and AFS types listed. Match your wiring and fuse holder to that rating.
Is it worth it over a cheaper Class-AB amp?
It runs cooler and draws less current than most Class-AB amps, and JL Audio's build is a step up from budget brands. If you need maximum watts per dollar, cheaper amps offer more power on paper.
Where is the JL Audio Rd400 4 Channel Class-D Amplifier cheapest?
At Abt Electronics, for $379.99, as of our latest check.
