FEATURES

Maxed Power Supply

Wet Sounds Sinister amplifiers use a unique patent pending transformer design we 

call MAXED that is the first of its kind in the mobile/marine audio market. Making 

the Sinister amplifiers one of the most efficient amplifiers ever built. Wet Sounds 

took it a step farther by through bolting the transformer to the heat sink and not just 

the pcb, resulting in a heat sink that dissipates heat from the output side as well as 

the transformer. This advanced construction method also results in a more robust 

build method for the rugged marine market.

Thermal Rollback Technology

Wet Sounds thermal rollback circuit monitors the Sinister

TM

 amplifiers temperature 

and adjusts the amplifiers output. The Sinister amplifiers are extremely efficient. 

However, marine use is the most demanding application of a 12 volt amplifier. There 

are times when extended listening combined with high ambient temperatures and 

a tight mounting can make even the most efficient amplifier work overtime. We 

designed the thermal rollback circuit to be automatic and seamless. The amplifier 

will roll its peak power output so it can lower its operating temperature. What this 

means for you is more play time and not having your amplifier go into thermal 

protection right when they party is going great.

Advanced Intelligent Microprocessor Control

Think of it as a tiny supercomputer constantly monitoring everything and protecting 

itself from harm. The Microprocessor will put the amplifier into protection if it senses 

an over voltage situation or a under voltage situation or DC offset. If you damage 

a speaker or have a shorted wire. The amplifier will also put itself into protection. 

And if you go past the thermal rollback circuit, the amplifier has a second level of 

protection from heat and will shut itself down.

Top mounted crossover controls

Wet Sounds designed the Sinister amplifier from the ground up as a true marine 

amplifier. Marine amplifiers are mounted to amp panels in a boat. Making it harder 

to access the controls. The sinister amplifiers have all the controls on the top for 

easy access and adjustments once the amplifier is mounted.
