The TARAMPS BASS 15K is a high-power, single-channel Class D mono amplifier engineered for sub-bass and bass-heavy car-audio systems. With a rated output of 15,000 W RMS at 1 Ω it delivers earth-shaking low-frequency power, ideal for large subwoofer stacks or SPL-oriented builds. Its built-in variable low-pass and subsonic filters, plus parametric bass-boost control, allow precise tuning of bass response. This unit suits competition-grade sound systems, custom installations, or any setup demanding maximum bass output and deep low-end impact.

KEY BENEFITS

• 15,000 W RMS at 1 Ω delivers immense continuous power for deep, room-shaking bass and maximum output with heavy sub-bass loads.
• Class D design maintains high efficiency (~80%), reducing heat and electrical drain while producing high output — ideal for extended use.
• Variable low-pass filter (60–250 Hz) and subsonic filter (8–30 Hz) plus parametric bass boost (35–60 Hz, 0–+12 dB) allow precise tuning of bass response to subwoofer setup and enclosure tuning.
• High input sensitivity (280 mV) and 22 kΩ input impedance ensure compatibility with a wide range of head units or signal processors.
• Protective circuitry guards against output short, low/high supply voltage, and thermal overload — safeguarding amplifier and connected components under heavy load.
• Wide frequency response (8–250 Hz, –3 dB) ensures reproduction of sub-bass and bass up to mid-bass range, delivering full-range bass performance.
• Mono configuration simplifies wiring and maximizes power delivery to subwoofer arrays without complex bridging or multi-channel wiring.
• Compact enough to fit in typical trunk or amplifier rack installations for large custom car audio builds, while still offering extreme power.

INSTALLATION & COMPATIBILITY

The BASS 15K is best installed in vehicles with substantial electrical support — ideally a robust battery/alternator setup and proper wiring (heavy gauge, recommended dual 2/0 AWG power/ground) plus appropriate fusing (as close to battery as possible). It excels driving large subwoofer arrays (multiple 12″–18″ subs or high-excursion 15″+ units) in sealed or ported enclosures. Because of its enormous power draw and thermal output, secure mounting, adequate ventilation, and solid ground distribution are critical. This amplifier is not suited for stock factory audio — it requires a dedicated high-current power supply and subwoofer configuration designed for high SPL and deep bass output.
