Garmin has introduced the JL Audio® AP Amplifiers, a new series designed to deliver robust audio performance across boats and off-road vehicles. The ultracompact amplifiers come in four models, including one equipped with Bluetooth® technology for seamless audio streaming from smartphones.

They are built to withstand a demanding environment, delivering superior audio quality year after year.”
Versatile Amplifier Options
The JL Audio AP Amplifiers operate with an efficient Class-D design, providing increased power to speakers and subwoofers while minimizing battery drain compared to traditional Class-AB amplifiers. The series offers four distinct options, catering to diverse audio needs for both boaters and off-road enthusiasts.
- 200-watt RMS 4 Channel: Includes Bluetooth technology for direct audio streaming and an AUX input, ideal for easy installation.
- 300-watt RMS Monoblock: Designed to power a single subwoofer, perfect for smaller systems needing enhanced bass.
- 300-watt RMS 4 Channel: Capable of powering four pairs of speakers or two pairs of speakers and a subwoofer, suitable for complete sound systems.
- 600-watt RMS 6 Channel: Features staggered power to run up to six pairs of speakers or four speakers and one subwoofer, fitting for larger systems.
Three of these models incorporate Easy Tune functionality, offering audio optimization, speaker protection, and digital setup capabilities. Users can also manually adjust settings via the integrated top panel display.
Durable Design for Demanding Environments
Constructed with a tough cast alloy casing, the JL Audio AP Amplifiers boast resilience, ensuring longevity in harsh conditions. They carry an IP67 rating for water and dust resistance, although this does not extend to cables. The amplifiers also feature a built-in LCD display for manual control, with the 4 Channel Bluetooth model including a remote for added convenience.
These rugged amplifiers can be easily installed across various boats, ATVs, UTVs, and other powersports vehicles, enhancing any vehicle’s sound system. The JL Audio AP Amplifiers are now available, with prices starting at $499.99. For more information, visit garmin.com/jlaudio.
