QSC GX5 500 Watt 8 Ohm Power Amplifier
The QSC GSX GX5 Power Amplifier is designed to provide power, portability and professional sound quality at an affordable price. The GX5 features 500 watts of power at 8 ohms (both channels driven) in a design that's easy to install and delivers flexible features. The rear panel features balanced XLR and 1/4" phone inputs, as well as unbalanced RCA phono inputs for complete compatibility with professional and consumer audio gear.
The outputs feature speaker binding posts and Speakon® connections. Detented gain controls provide precise level settings.

Comments about QSC GX5 500 Watt 8 Ohm Power Amplifier:
This amp is cold even in the few hours of work. It is very quiet and low roar. The only drawback is its weight.

Comments about QSC GX5 500 Watt 8 Ohm Power Amplifier:
Using this amp to drive two 15 inch subwoofers. Amp handles them without a sweat. Good quality build. Only con is the bright blue power on light; it is annoying, especially while watching movies using a projector in a dark room.
