Pioneer GM-DX971 Class-D Mono Amplifier 1200 W RMS at 1 Ohm
High-power Class-D mono amplifier with wired bass remote and 1-ohm stability
$469.99
Overview
The Pioneer GM-DX971 is a Class-D mono amplifier rated 500 W RMS at 4 ohms, 800 W RMS at 2 ohms, and 1200 W RMS at 1 ohm. A variable low-pass filter, bass boost, speaker-level inputs, gold-plated RCAs, and a wired bass remote support serious single-channel bass systems.
Product details
High-output mono Class-D amplifier
GM-DX971 steps past the DX871 with 500 / 800 / 1200 W RMS into 4 / 2 / 1 ohm loads and a 2400 W maximum rating. The Class-D design keeps the chassis manageable while delivering continuous current for a high-power single-channel bass speaker.

LPF, bass remote, and factory-radio inputs
A variable low-pass filter and bass boost shape the low end, while speaker-level inputs accept factory radio outputs without RCA preouts. Gold-plated RCA inputs and the included wired bass remote round out the control set. Allowable load impedance is 1–8 ohms.

Install notes
This amplifier demands heavy power and ground cable plus a correctly sized battery fuse. Confirm your bass speaker can handle 1200 W RMS continuous before connecting a 1-ohm load.

Important notes
- Verify bass-speaker RMS rating and impedance before choosing a 1-ohm configuration.
- Use large-gauge power/ground wire and a battery-side fuse sized for this amplifier's current draw.
- Speaker-level inputs do not replace proper remote turn-on and chassis ground.
- Allow heatsink airflow; do not carpet over the amplifier.
