It makes 1,000W RMS into 2Ω or 500W into 4Ω from an IPX6-rated extruded aluminium chassis, and its power, ground and speaker connections run through factory-moulded, over-braided leads. It has a variable low-pass and subsonic filter and up to 12dB of bass boost.

It suits riders who want that extra amplifier sealed like the rest of the WX range rather than being the one exposed component. It also suits installers who would rather plug into moulded leads than land cable in a terminal block on a bike that will be ridden in the wet.

One 4Ω driver is a 4Ω load (500W). Two 4Ω drivers in parallel make 2Ω (1,000W total). Two 2Ω drivers in parallel make 1Ω, which is below the amplifier's rating, so wire a pair of 2Ω drivers in series for 4Ω instead. Then compare the power each driver will receive with its RMS rating. Matched or below is right. If the amp would deliver well above what the driver can take, choose a larger driver or set the gain conservatively.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Bottom Line\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe WX1000.1 gives a Harley audio system a sealed low end: 1,000W into 2Ω, filters that protect the drivers in a small enclosure, and the same IPX6 construction as the rest of the WX range.

That is ideal behaviour: halving impedance doubles the current the amplifier is asked to deliver, and an output stage that doubles its power into half the load has the current capacity to supply it. \u003cem\u003eOn the road: wire for 2Ω and the amp delivers its full rating; it isn't current-limited at the load it was designed for.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFilters and Bass Boost\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo filters shape what reaches the driver, both at 12dB per octave. The \u003cstrong\u003esubsonic (high-pass) filter\u003c\/strong\u003e is adjustable from 10Hz to 80Hz. Set it just below the lowest frequency your enclosure can usefully reproduce, and the amplifier stops sending energy the driver would turn into cone movement rather than sound. The \u003cstrong\u003elow-pass filter\u003c\/strong\u003e runs from 80Hz to 20kHz and sets where the WX1000.1 hands over to the speakers above it. \u003cem\u003eOn the road: a well-set subsonic filter lets the driver play louder and cleaner at highway speed, because its excursion goes on frequencies you can hear.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBass boost\u003c\/strong\u003e adds up to 12dB around the boost frequency. Every 3dB of boost doubles the power needed at that frequency, so 12dB asks for about sixteen times the power. Used lightly, it fills out a driver that is a little lean in a particular enclosure. Used at full range with the gain already high, it quickly drives the amplifier into clipping. Watch the clipping LED when setting it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSealed Construction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe WX1000.1 has no exposed terminals. Power and ground leave the chassis as \u003cstrong\u003e305mm (12\") of moulded, over-braided 8 AWG\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the speaker output as \u003cstrong\u003e152mm (6\") of moulded, over-braided 16 AWG\u003c\/strong\u003e ending in a female Molex® connector. Each exit has \u003cstrong\u003eover-moulded strain relief\u003c\/strong\u003e in water-repellent material. Inside, the circuit board is \u003cstrong\u003econformal coated\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the unit is \u003cstrong\u003efully encased in an extruded aluminium heatsink enclosure\u003c\/strong\u003e rated IPX6 under IEC 60529. That means protection against powerful water jets from any direction. It is not a rating for immersion, and a pressure washer held close goes beyond what the test applies. \u003cem\u003eOn the road: a mono amp often lives lower or further back on the bike than the four-channel amp, closer to where spray lands, and this one is built for that.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEfficiency is 80% from the IR-based Class-D output stage, and the aluminium body conducts the remaining heat out of the sealed case.
