About: DS18 SMD-8500.1D 8500W RMS Monoblock Amplifier with Voltmeter and Digital LED Lights

Introducing the SMD-8500.1D— engineered by DS18 in collaboration with Steve Meade Designs. Built for superior audio performance, it features premium Korean components and Sky High Car Audio’s OFC Internal Wiring. With DS18’s reputation as the LOUDEST in pro audio and Steve Meade’s industry-standard installation peripherals, this amp is built for extreme power and convenience.

With the SMD-8500.1D, we achieved that and more. What sets the SMD-8500.1D apart is its unique clear half-top design ensuring efficient heat dissipation through a reverse-mounted board and dual cooling fans. It also features an exclusive built-in SMD VM-1 digital/analog-style LED voltmeter that monitors power draw in real-time. Customizable RGB lighting adds another layer of personalization, allowing you to match your vehicle’s interior or create dynamic light displays.

Manufactured using premium components from Korea, this amplifier guarantees the reliability and powerful bass amplification that DS18 is known for. The SMD-8500.1D is not only visually striking but also engineered for top-tier performance. It delivers an impressive 3300W RMS at 4-ohm, 5700W RMS at 2-ohm, and 8500W RMS at 1-ohm, driving even the most demanding subwoofer setups with ease.
