AudioControlD-5.1300 High Power DSP Matrix 5-Channel/Multi-Channel 1300 Watts Car Audio Amplifier with Accubass, Premium High-Fidelity

The D-5.1300 amplifier is a beast! Audio control makes the most versatile and quality equipment available. I have done professional audio installations for years and have always recommended their equipment. The digital processors and amplifiers require a computer to set up and there may be a learning curve if you're not familiar with the different settings available but it's well worth the investment. The power rating is greatly under rated.

Pros:-Everything about this 5ch amp with fully integrated DSP is of great quality and if tuned correctly this system will deliver close to perfect sound quality.-customer service is slow to respond but the support tech is very knowledgeable and actually very helpful 👍 👌Cons:-lack of instruction and learning curve can be very difficult for novice installers.-the optional RLC and BT adapter will run you another $200 for something that imo should be included with the flagship unit or atleast as a discounted add-on.

I've been a big fan of Audio Control and have installed 4-5 of the D5.1300. The power is amazing and the tuning software is thorough. This is the first amp I had stop producing sound. I've run tests on it and it is just bricked. It won't even connect to the software. Now I learned that the seller isn't an authorized dealer, so I'm out 100% of the money.

Not very clear as to how to set up this amp without the additional RTA listening kit - Sold Separately for a shiny penny. I’ve been doing car audio for 20+ years and never have I had the issues I’ve had with this particular amp.After everything is set up (from general knowledge and vague videos on youtube for this amp) the subwoofer channel is intermittent and will come in ‘boosted’ mid song, or cut itself down to a less than normal level. Resetting and backdating the firmware only lasts so long before it acts up again. Put the amp on a bench and re-tested - emitting static from channel 4 and wasn’t too long before the sub started acting up again.I contacted both Amazon and Crutchfield about this issue, I gave my solutions - as this is currently out of stock at both AudioControl and Crutchfield. All they want to do is push the issue onto AudioControl (which the amplifier does have a 5 year warranty) but which also leaves me without an integrated amplifier in my daily vehicle - so no warning chimes or music for me I guess.Very bad support for the end user being just a person and not a Car Stereo Shop, where they would give you a replacement until the repairs are made or the amp is deemed unrepairable.

Amazon is not an authorized dealer for audio control. I’ve have an issue with my 5-1300. They do not warranty any products not bought from an authorized dealer. I wish I would have known this before my purchase.

Just got this to fix the the lack of low end bass my normal amp was putting out. My factory radio faded out everything below 40hz so the 30 band tuner was perfect I could bring back my 25-40 hz without blasting 60hz which was getting annoying. The computer app is a little hard at first but I got it figured out. Very easy to install and shipping was super fast. If you have the money, it’s the best option for a 5 channel setup

It’s Awesome just buy it never mind it’s expensive af buy once cry once lol
