4 x 100 W of on-road power

Optimized for excellence
Circuitry and components are carefully laid out for low-noise, highly efficient electric power transmission.
Precision power block placement
Placing the power block close to the input and amp minimizes power loss, while electrolytic capacitors ensure precise, responsive bass.
Heat ventilation
An oversized heat sink with an optimally designed fin structure ensures efficient ventilation to prevent overheating.
Hear music your way
Various customization options let you adapt the audio experience to your liking. With the Subwoofer Direct and 2-ohm Speaker Load2 option, you can hook up a subwoofer directly to the built-in class-D amplifier together with multiple speakers for deep, car-filling sound.
No need for an external amplifier to drive a subwoofer
Unlike conventional head units, the DSX-GS80 has amplifier power to spare, making it capable of simultaneously driving a subwoofer and a full car speaker system, including front and rear speakers. The unique two-ohm load selector delivers high power without risking amp or speaker damage.
Music that jumps from your dashboard
