Caliber CA 160P2-24V 2-Channel 24V Amplifier

Product Overview

The Caliber CA 160P2-24V is a high-performance 2-channel amplifier designed specifically for 24V vehicle electrical systems. It features a Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) MOSFET power supply, ensuring efficient power delivery and reliable operation. The unit is engineered with thermal, overload, and short-circuit protection to ensure long-term durability.

Technical Specifications

• Max Power Output (24V): 2x 250W/4Ω or 1x 700W/4Ω (bridged)
• RMS Output (24V): 2x 80W/4Ω or 1x 240W/4Ω (bridged)
• Frequency Response: 5Hz - 50kHz
• Input Sensitivity: 0.2V - 3V
• Bass Boost: 0-6-12dB at 45Hz
• Fuses: 2x 15A

Installation and Mounting

For optimal performance and safety, ensure the amplifier is mounted on a flat surface with at least 5cm of ventilation space on all sides to prevent overheating. Keep the unit away from moisture and direct sunlight. When wiring, always disconnect the vehicle battery first. Use a minimum 10mm² cable for the +24V connection and ensure a secure ground (GND) connection to the vehicle chassis, removing any paint or insulation at the contact point. A fuse must be installed within 30cm of the battery.

Signal Input and Adjustments

The amplifier offers two signal input methods: High-Level input (using the included connector) or RCA input. Never use both inputs simultaneously. To adjust the sound, set the input level knob to minimum and the radio volume to 3/4 of maximum. Gradually increase the input level until distortion is heard, then back it off slightly. Bass boost can be adjusted to personal preference, but excessive levels may cause the amplifier to clip.

Safety and Maintenance

Always operate the device within the temperature range of 0°C to +45°C. If a problem occurs, turn off the device immediately and contact an authorized dealer for service. Do not attempt to repair the unit yourself. Clean the exterior periodically with a soft, dry cloth; for stubborn stains, use a cloth slightly dampened with water only. Avoid using chemical cleaners that may damage the finish.
