Detail 01
800W per channel at 4 ohms, 475W at 8
Roughly 60 percent more power than the 1002 at the same impedance. About 2 dB more output, not double the volume.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Two-channel 800W-per-side amp with the same DSP as the smaller XTi models. For rigs where 500W per channel runs out of headroom.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Driving subs where headroom matters more than channel count
- Mid-size rooms and outdoor gigs with double 15 or 18 cabinets
- Bridging to 2000W mono for a single large sub
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Small rooms — the XTi 1002 covers those for less money
- Quiet spaces; proportional fan noise is unavoidable
- Anyone who wants presets working out of the box without tuning
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Bridge mono 2000W at 4 ohms
Both channels combined into one output for a single large sub. You lose the second channel doing this.
Detail 03
Damping factor over 500
Tight grip on woofer cone motion, so low end stays defined rather than loose on long speaker runs.
Detail 04
Crossover, EQ, limiter, and delay onboard
Replaces an outboard processor. Set slopes, driver protection, and up to 50 mS of alignment inside the amp.
Detail 05
29 user-definable presets
Store per-venue or per-cabinet setups and recall them instead of retuning at every load-in.
Detail 06
8.3A at 120V under load
Near the limit of a shared 15A circuit once other gear is on it. Give it its own line where possible.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Speakon NL4 and XLR cables are bought separately
- 02Needs front and rear rack clearance for the front-to-rear airflow
- 03Set the limiter to your driver ratings — it ships defeatable
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How much louder is this than the XTi 1002?
800W versus 500W per channel at 4 ohms, which is about 2 dB. Useful headroom, but not a dramatic jump in perceived loudness.
02Can I bridge it for one sub?
Yes. Bridge mono gives 2000W at 4 ohms or 1600W at 8 ohms, using both channels to drive a single load.
03Will it run 2-ohm loads?
Yes, 1000W per channel at 2 ohms in stereo. Check your cabinet wiring before connecting a load that low.
04Does it fit a shallow rack?
It is 19 by 3.5 by 12.25 inches, so two rack spaces and shallow depth. Weight is 18.5 lb.
