The missing link in serious marine AV: a slim, 230 V AC multi-channel amplifier with the amplified channels needed to drive passive marine-grade subwoofers — the kind every exterior marine sub actually is.

Our price is the manufacturer's home-market RRP — what this gear sells for where it's made. Branded marine equipment in Thailand typically retails 15–90% above that, when prices are published at all. Ours doesn't.
On larger boats, the AV system shouldn't lean on big DC-powered amplifiers — heavy current draw from the house bank, thick cable runs, and heat in hidden lockers. The right answer aboard a vessel with 230 V AC power is a compact AC-powered amplifier, and this slim multi-channel unit is the one we fit.
Why you need it for a marine system: exterior marine-grade subwoofers — including the premium marine ranges like JL Audio — are passive drivers. They don't have built-in amplification, so they must be driven by a real amplifier channel. Domestic and interior subwoofers are usually active (self-powered, fed by a line-level RCA signal), which is why so many otherwise good marine installs end up with a silent cockpit sub: there's nothing aboard to power it. This amplifier provides the amplified channels that passive marine subwoofers require, alongside the zones for your saloon and deck speakers.
