Panasonic CY-PA4003U Car Amplifier

Date Published: 6/12/06

Panasonic is making big news with its car amplifiers, which includes the CY-PA4003U. This model is compact for a four-channel amplifier, but it still manages to produce a powerful 225 peak watts per channel. This MOSFET amplifier is all you need to power the standard four channels used in most vehicles, and it can be bridged for three- or two-channel operation.

The CY-PA4003U has line- and speaker-level inputs, so any type of receiver can be used to supply the signal. It also sports a line output so you can daisy chain additional amplifiers, if necessary. To protect against thermal overload, the CY-PA4003U has a thermal shutdown circuit that turns off the amplifier if the temperature gets too high.

For fine-tuning the sound, the CY-PA4003U has variable crossovers ranging from 50Hz to 250Hz, and there is a bass boost of up to 15dB. The input sensitivity is variable from 6V to 200mV, and the CY-PA4003U has an overall frequency response of 10Hz to 30,000Hz. It uses gold-plated RCA terminals for clean, secure connections. The CY-PA4003U car amplifier has an attractive design, with a very cool blue illumination that you'll be proud to show off.
