Cerwin Vega VCU82 VEGA Series 2-Channel Full Range Class D Amplifier

Looking to push your car audio system to the next level? The Cerwin Vega VCU82 from the VEGA Series is not your average 2-channel full-range Class D amplifier. It's a compact, marine-grade powerhouse designed to bring you high-fidelity sound, serious output, and long-lasting durability—all in one rugged little package.

Big Sound, Small Package

Don’t be misled by its compact footprint—the Cerwin Vega VCU82 hits hard with up to 500 watts bridged at 4 ohms. From clean mids to powerful highs, it’s built to drive your system with authority. Small in size, but built to dominate your soundstage.

Efficiency That Doesn’t Miss a Beat

With its high-efficiency full-range digital Class D topology, the VCU82 runs cool without compromising performance. The advanced IR digital chipset keeps things smooth and stable even under heavy loads, so your tunes never skip a beat—even when you're cranking it up to 11.

Built Like a Tank, Ready for Anything

Rain, humidity, and road grime? Bring it on. This amp features a conformal-coated 4-layer PCB that’s built to resist moisture and the harshest environments. And with its marine-grade certification, it’s perfect for boats, motorcycles, or any vehicle that sees more than just pavement.

Smart Connectivity for Any Setup

Worried about compatibility? Don’t be. The Cerwin Vega VCU82 accepts both high and low-level inputs up to 12V, making it a breeze to integrate into almost any audio system. The Remote Turn-On Configurator (REM/DC/VOX) gives you the freedom to connect it your way—no drama, no headaches.

Crystal-Clear Sound, Zero Interference

There’s nothing worse than interference muddying up your audio. That’s why the Cerwin Vega VCU82 is designed with boosted RFI rejection. Translation? Your sound stays clean, sharp, and exactly how you want it—no static, no whining, just music.

Consistent Power Delivery

Here's what you get in real-world performance:

• 250W x 2 @ 2 Ohms
• 150W x 2 @ 4 Ohms
• 500W x 1 Bridged @ 4 Ohms

Combine that with a damping factor over 250, ultra-low THD at just 0.05%, and a wide frequency response of 10Hz–35kHz, and you've got yourself a real contender in high-performance audio.
