Crown XLS1502 Two-channel, 525W at 4Ω Power Amplifier

This thing pumps!! Make sure you have the low pass/high pass settings correctly set. I take points off this amp for not having dual side outputs for multiple speakers. It’s going to be the same non-separated signal. If you’re trying to make different zones and have only some speakers on at a time and not all of them on your system, you won’t be able to. You have to wire them all together. If you want to do that, you need another amp. Remember this is pro-grade equipment. It’s built like a tank and can survive in the heat, too! The amp is smart in that it knows what impedances the speakers are. Remember to not go too low in impedance or you can damage the amp. If you want to do 2 zones, your best bet is to get another amp for those speakers. Sounds amazing, worth the price, and it’s really modern, so it’s not heavy at all!

These are excellent amps for budget friendly audiophiles clean power and lots of versatility with the built in xovers I used two of them to power two Cerwin Vega bass bins in mono that’s 1050 watts per amp to those basss bins and they sound great !!!!

This is a very very very good amp. However a star less, because the warranty terms mentioned is misleading. The 6 year extended warranty is not applicable for India, China, Russia and Brazil. We only have 1 year. The amp runs always cooler, and it's good looking. This amp I bought is for my home theater setup. Marantz with Polk floor standing/center/bookshelf speakers. For some reason I'm feeling the Polk's deliver more punchy bass over the new addition of Crown amp + 2 Sony 12" 4ohm subs. This thing shakes everything.

Ok so I wanted an amp to power car audio subs for me home theater. So I needed an amp that can handle 2 to 4 ohms. I did however have to buy a Clean Box Pro to go from rca subwoofer output to pro audio line input. Yes the amp has a rca in but for the life of me I couldn't get the Humm to disappear. This worked now I love it.

Purchased these to run my 11.2 surround for Atmos, DTX and Auro-3D surround sound formats. Currently running almost all at 1/4 - 1/3 power since they are more powerful than most of my speakers (Polks). The advantage of not having to push the amps means the fans hardly ever turn on and they stay very cool. This also means no distortion. As for a audible hiss as some state, its a lot more present in PA speakers as Ive had the previous generation of these amps in my DJ system. Main thing to consider is noise floor. The 1502s have a 6dB lower noise floor which is nearly silent on Polks. You might get a little higher on say a Klipsch with its Trizac horns and higher sensitivity but its not unbearable. I did notice it the most with my vintage LaScalas but they are 103dB sensitivity and thats a high bench mark. Another thing to like is the ability to run balanced and unbalanced inputs. I prefered the balanced since my preamp supports these and that also maintains a lower noise floor over the RCA inputs. All and All- these are phenomenal amps and if by chance you end up getting power hungry beasts like 12RTi speakers- the Crwon 2502 drive Core 2 runs them without breaking a sweat. Those things came alive! Lastly- love that they are rack mountable- see pics. I run them sealed inside with open ventilation at top, bottom and rear and have other fans moving air across all the components. You cant go wrong and would spend 3x this to match the performance
