Supersymmetry circuit. The Supersymmetry circuit topology was granted a U.S. patent in 1994, and is the result of 19 years of effort by Nelson Pass. The amplifier uses highly matched components in a classically simple balanced Class A circuit. The amplifier contains only two simple stages: the first is a balanced single-ended Class A voltage gain stage.

If you are driving a low impedance load, you will draw more than this, but this will not be typical. The X5 is provided with the more conventional AC line cord, which is rated at 15 amps. The circuit ground is attached to the chassis in the conventional manner.

12 volts DC to the single pair of 5 way connectors on the rear of the amplifier. The positive of the 12 volts DC goes to the red connector. This connection has an actual operating range X5 Owner’s Manual...

So much for essential information. Speaker Interface The X5 is optimized for loads nominally rated at 4 ohms and above. You can run the amplifiers into a lower nominal impedance without difficulty, and we are not aware of a speaker on the market that presents unusual difficulty with these amplifiers.

They will not withstand 100 foot-lbs of torque. Hand tightening without excessive force is plenty. The X5 has a power transformer, rated at 1000 watts, continuous Fun Hardware Facts duty. Under actual conditions in the amplifier the transformer will deliver about 1800 watts for short duration.
