XTi4002 Two-channel, 1200-Watt at 4Ω Power Amplifier

I bought 1 for my husband to push one of his 18 inch subwoofer (he's got 3) n had to buy 2 more because he loves them n we've went through so many different types of amps n this one is his favorite n is able to push his 18 Sundown woofers, I'd highly recommend this if you want something that actually works n has the power to push your product the best part is it's got so many different settings and you can customize them to your liking, it's very easy to set the settings to your liking, also it's got built in fans in the back of it so it doesn't get hot like some others do and I can't say enough good things about these amps if highly recommend these

Lots of clean power for the money. Crown amps are totally reliable, and sound excellent throughout the entire audible spectrum. Low frequencies are tight with no false boom! A gem of a product!

Im using this power amp to power my two JBL PRX418 passive subwoofers. I currently run my mon2 send output to the poweramp and then output from the amp to the one sub in bridge sub mode. Then I go out sub to the next sub. Amazing punch in the bass and lowend. I did not even get into the options with the program through the computer and adjusting the different presets available through the CROWN.Additional pros: the amp comes with different fan modes for longer gigs and running the amp full blast for longer periods of time.Very sturdy in the rack

Unfortunately, this item came with the thermal light on channel one permanently lit, which means that there’s some kind of a short or some kind of an issue. The worst part is this was for a client who had The exact same amplifier that had the same problem, which makes me question Crown amplifiers in general. It was obvious As soon as we plugged in the amplifier that it was broken and someone definitely missed that. That’s not something that happens from shipping. Someone did not do their job.

I bought 2 of these. They are shorter and lighter than the usual amps, so I put them both in a 4u shallow rack. I like that! You get the software for it free online, (PC only, no Mac). But the software is great! Loaded with pro features for serious systems in serious venues, and it integrates with major gear mfrs like JBL etc.But I'm just a little guy doing sound for my bar band! No matter, I found lots of cool ways to benefit from it myself. First off, I was able to figure out the software without calling support. I Like that! You connect the amp to the PC via USB. If you launch the software first, then turn on the amp, an icon appears in the software for that specific amp. You can name each amp whatever you want to keep track of them, and you can work with 2 amps at a time if your PC has 2 USB ports, or with a powered USB hub you can work with many at once. I used it to setup and name presets for different I/O configurations on each amp, such as 2-ch or parallel input.THEN things got cooler! I found I could use the built-in (and also very powerful) parametric EQ and pink noise generator to shape the amp's voicing to sound great with MY HOME-BUILT MAIN SPEAKERS! They are full-range, 3-way passive x-over, 18" woofers, and I also found that the bass subsynth can also be set up to work great with a full-range signal as well as a low-pass signal. I like that!Of course, if you use multi-amp active x-over systems for your mains, the software fully accommodates that as well. I also setup totally different EQ presets for use with 12" and 15" 2-way monitors.Then at the gig you just call up your presets by name on the front panel display. You don't need to run the software unless you want to change something. But you can run them with your PC hooked up if you want to, and the software enables the serious pro to configure and monitor multi-amp arrays in real time. I would like to see this software in a Mac version. (hint to Crown!)I used these amps playing out for the first time last week, and the bartender came up and told me how great my speakers sound compared to most other bands that play there, a totally unsolicited comment!As for reliability, I just got them so I wouldn't know, but the build quality looks and feels solid, and you get 3 years of warranty to find out. I only held back 1 star because they have XLR inputs only, no 1/4", and I wanna see that software in a Mac version.They have 1 model (6002) at higher power than the 4002, and I was looking at it, but the power consumption specs of the 4002 are more efficient. These bars I play don't give you much wall current to work with, and I have found the 4002 drives my four 1000-watt 18" B&C woofers with authority, and the watts-per-dollar ratio is good, and the software features are fantastic. I see nothing at this price point that beats it. I like these amps a lot! I'm probably gonna get 2 more. My advice: make sure you have a good PC laptop, and then get these amps!

Very nice amp.Clean and powerful.Have used all the inputs and outputs. No issues.If this is in your power requirement for amps, you would not be disappointed.I am using it for additional power to varying events.Some of which require 8000 watts of power. Having been doing this for 35 years on a professional level, my opinion is very good of this unit.I waited for several months to review so I could use it on several events to ensure a good review.Each one were different in configuration and power needs.Bench tested to specs.This unit is light weight and does what it says.

Incredibly stable and powerful, this amplifier leaves me with no doubt that I'll be rocking it for years to come. The built in fully customizable equalizer is like nothing I've see for this style of amplifier. Using software supplied free from Crown online, you can connect via USB to this amp and set the frequency bands you want to adjust and then scale each one to your speakers or listening tastes. If you purchase a USBx controller from Crown, you can do all of this adjustment wirelessly and even from an iPad or iPhone from 50ft away! If you're looking for a rock solid amp with incredible flexibility than look no further!

I own five Crown amps, including a DC 300, and this is the least desirable of them. The whisper fan doesn't whisper, it growls. It has the power, the good bass, but a lot of unnecessary programming options. The string sound seems harsh and I have to massively EQ to get it more or less right. I have worked with Crown in professional venues for a long time. This was a disappointment.
