Since the output current to the subwoofers can reach 90 amperes, the connectors must be extremely
rugged. We chose Anderson
TM
connectors because they have been proven to hold up under demanding
high current applications (such as industrial fork lifts). They are also ideal due to the fully enclosed design
which helps eliminate the chance for electrocution. The output current is monitored by surface mount
resistors that are referenced to ground and calibrated for 90 amps RMS. When that level is reached the
DSP controller shuts the amplifi er down in microseconds to prevent damage to any components.
The switching MOSFETs need to be bulletproof, so they utilize thermally conductive interface material.
This insulated metal substrate minimizes the thermal impedance and conducts heat away from the
MOSFETs more effi ciently than conventional mounting methods.
In conclusion, the Kicker Warhorse WX10000.1 has the highest power output available in a single
channel mobile amplifi er, the best conversion effi ciency from battery power to audio power, the lowest
idle current and the best power to size/weight ratio.
