XLS1002 2-Channel Class D DriveCore Professional Power Amplifier with DSP, Band Pass Filters & Peakx Limiters. XLR/RCA Inputs, 350W at 4 Ohm, PureBand Crossover System. Black

if you're thinking about using this amp or any Crown XLS or XLI in a home theater system. do extensive research before buying. it will cost you more than you think. consumer audio is -10-DB. while pro audio is plus 14 dbu. this amp will never work properly without a matchbox. since the voltage from your HT receiver is lower than the actual requirement of a pro amp. which includes the DSP in the amp. this amp can make a great subwoofer amp. the fact that this amp has RCA inputs is confusing. even though you can change the input sensitivity to .775. the DSP will never work properly unless your HT already has XLR outputs. ( very few do) I'm using a Yamaha RX-A6A. which does have XLR inputs + outputs.. but if you're using it as a subwoofer amp you should not use the XLR outputs from the receiver. because your receiver will act differently since it thinks you're using an external amp. if want to use it as a "full range amp" then you can connect directly to your XLR outputs. it has more than enough power to drive four 10-inch subs. depending on your system configuration make sure you select the proper ohm load to get the most out of the Crown amp. it is a solid amp. and won't rob your electric bill. make sure that your electric socket has at least 4-5 amps if you configure your speakers correctly.

These crown XLS amps are amazing! The price is always very reasonable and the quality is the absolute best. I have 3 1002s and one 1502 that I use to power a 5.4.4 Atmos setup and 8 outdoor speakers. All are mounted in an in-wall rack system. The Crowns push out what they claim and they do so effortlessly. While there is a very quiet "hiss" right next to the indoor speakers, it's low enough volume that you can only hear it within 2' of the speakers when no sound is emitted. At one point, I accidentally hooked up 2 of my 18" subs in parallel and connected them to the XLS1502 in bridge mode, thus giving it a 2 ohm load in bridge. It's not rated for this, as it's only supposed to handle down to 4 ohms when bridged, but this amp had ZERO complaints for about 9 months, playing loud and hard. It never had any clipping, never any thermal issues...just CLEAN power. The only reason I didn't leave it like that is because I needed the other channel for my outdoor setup. But now I'm actually wanting to get a 2502 next since I miss how effortless my dual 18" IB subs played with all that power.

I've wanted to try one of these for years. All I wanted was an amplifier I could wire like a car audio amp to give me some flexibility in a simple two channel home audio set up. Right now it's just driving a 12" 2 ohm duel voice coil sub. There is no piece of home audio equipment you can buy (reasonably) that can continuously drive a 2 ohm load. It effortlessly drives the sub at any volume and never sounds taxed in the least. I do have the gains turned up higher than I thought, but it could have more to do with the consumer grade components that are hooked to it than the output of this unit. I haven't had time to pull out components yet to really play with this, so it's currently paired to an old kenwood pre-amp - rolls mini crossover - highs to a denon 120w/ch surround receiver ran as a simple 4 ch amp bi wired to a pair of kef q100's - lows to crown and sub. It's a little busy, so it's hard to know if the higher gains are needed because the sub needs the power or if the input signal is lower than it should be. Regardless, it would be tough to buy a better sounding set up for less than a couple grand. The flexibility and clean power make this an easy 5 star item for me. It's music to my ears....

Wow very impressive. Strong amp.

I have several Hifi equipment at home, bowers, and Wilkins, focal, Polk Hi-end series, Klipsch, Rotel, Marantz, Yamaha, Denon, emotiva!!!! You need to tune it up using eq and tone controls and this little beast will fight against any hi end brand........In the beginning, I was not getting what I was expecting, but after trying different setups and configurations I am extremely surprised by what I am hearing for the money ...... I am using a DAC SMSL with a Marantz pre amp ...2 bowers and Wilkins towers of 200 watts RMS each via bi-amp using a bit amp cable ..... I must say I am surprised 😯😯😯 I am hearing stuff in my music I was not hearing with my Marantz and Rotel Amps ..... This little amp is a hidden gem of HiFi music ..... Don't try connecting a DAC directly to it .... You need a good pre-amp...a tube preamp or a Marantz pre-amp...something of good quality .... The bad reviews and other people saying this amp isn't good ... They probably tried it with crappy configuration or bad combinations of equipment ...... This thing is the real deal

...before chiming in. I bought the first 2 levels of amps thinking I would need both to run my sound system in stereo: 8 18" subs & 4 15" full range tops. I hooked the tops to the smallest XLS1002 & ran mono bridged into the subs using the 1502. Both sip electricity so it's not a huge power draw so I thought I would need both, and since they are quiet & lightweight, why not? Ran great everytime out. Well, then I decided to try mono since my speaker system is a wall of sound. So I y corded to the 1002 from my crossover & applied the amp's built in crossover and wouldn't ya know it, the little guy powered the whole sound in mono, with some power to spare!! I haven't even bothered trying it with the 1502 but I'm sure that's even better & maybe a lil more stable. These leave a lot of room in your rack case's rear & are light light weight. The screen to work the options is bright. You're able to apply filters to the channels separately! The back is easy to work with. I don't know. I haven't had a lot of amps, but I have nothing negative to say about these crown amps except I hope I find installations for my other amps, be sure my 1502 is gonna be giving me all I need in my mobile system for now on.

Why spend thousands on a high-end audiophile amp, while this amp is affordable, still sounds good, performs well, is built well, is easy to use, and looks cool? No, it’s not the best amp. However, this amp is very unbeatable for $430. This amp sounds very good with my Elac Debut 2.0 B6.2 bookshelf speakers and not many cheap amps handle 6 ohms and don’t deliver the power I want. This amp is ideal for almost all appliances. It’s good for PA use, Hifi use, home theater use, and much more! Edit: This amp is still going strong and is currently driving my QSC AD-S28Tw subwoofer. Definitely makes the subwoofer sound good!

Amo bought from Amazon in 2019 worked great until it stopped working out of no where. For equipment that is 200-300+ I expected it to last longer than my AVR. The product description mention 6 year extended warranty but after reaching out to Amazon, Harmon, and the warranty in the manual. They can be honor their warranty for 3 years or Amazon return window of a month. Don’t buy if you are planning to have the peace of mind of the free extended warranty.

I am bi-amping two xls 1002 amps to drive Infinity Kappa 8s in extended mode. The amps drive them with authority and have lots of reserve. Using a Marantz pre amp with balanced outputs and it all sounds fantastic!!! These amps respond to the garbage in=garbage out principle. Good source with a good recording and you will be quite happy!

Good product Good Quality Super sound 👌👌😊 Thank you so much Amazon 👍😊

Buen sonido transparente, no noto que coloree mucho. Eso sí clásico sonido clase "D", pero en contraparte el equipo no pesa y es muy portátil. Solo se debe de cuidar de las variaciones de voltaje. Precio de oferta así que muy conforme.

I am using it to drive Polk RTI A7 tower speakers from Yamaha AVR.

Todo bien me lo entregaron a tiempo empaquetado exelente el amplificador de buena calidad sobrepasó mis expectativas recomendado estube entre este amplificador y un yamaha xp3 pero no le pide nada al yamaha👍👍👍 estupendo amplificador
