Garmin Fusion Signature Series 5-Channel 1600W Marine Amplifier 010-01968-00

The Fusion Signature Series 5-Channel Amplifier (part number 010-01968-00) is a benchmark for marine audio entertainment. With high power (up to 1600W peak) and the efficiency of Class D technology, it can power high-performance speakers and subwoofers while reducing the impact on your boat's battery.
Built for marine environments, it features a conform-coated circuit board, an aluminum alloy heatsink, and a chassis designed to resist corrosion, vibration, saltwater, and UV rays. Installation is flexible and allows for multiple configurations: for example, four speakers plus a subwoofer, or two speakers per channel at 2 Ω, or channels bridged at 4 Ω.
Perfect for those who want powerful, dynamic and reliable sound on board.
