Sky High Car Audio 10500.1 Amplifier

The SHCA10500.1 is Sky High’s flagship amplifier and one of the most customizable bass amps on the planet. Built for real demo rigs, competition walls, and 15K+ watt systems, it combines true 0.5 ohm stability, Korean engineering, and a fully modular chassis that’s designed to mount vertically, stack cleanly, and look as wild as it plays.

 

This is more than just an amp – it’s a centerpiece for high-end builds that care about power, control, and appearance.

Korean Engineered & Assembled

 

• Designed from scratch by experienced engineers using world-class parts.
• Optimized around Sky High’s modular cooling and mounting ecosystem.

 

 

Dimensions

 

• 31.49” (L) × 9.92” (W) × 3.13” (H)
• Sky High’s largest amp to date, built to match their accessory kits, brackets, and overlays.

 

 

 

 

 

Cooling & Efficiency

 

 

Efficiency & Airflow Built In

 

• High-efficiency circuit layout reduces internal heat and stress.
• Standard acrylic backplate with an internally mounted cooling fan.
• Designed to survive long demo sessions, events, and daily abuse without heat-based drop-off.

 

 

Cooling System Expandability (Sold Separately)

 

• Passive Cooling Overlays:
  
• Slide-in extruded aluminum heat sink overlays increase surface area by up to 25%.
• Available in 5 color options and in raw aluminum for custom finishes (powder, gold/chrome/copper/rose gold dip, polish, etc.).
• Note: Non-anodized coatings can affect cooling performance.
• Active Cooling Kits:
  
• Push/pull fan kits mount to the extruded heatsink extensions.
• Plug directly into (4) onboard 12V outputs.
• Optional thermal bridges for linking airflow between paired amps.
• Water Cooling Ready (2026):
  
• Bolt-on water-cooled heatsink system (in development) with pump, radiator, and lines.
• Optional tank for custom setups.

 

 

 

 

 

Customization & Appearance

 

 

Flippable Branding System

 

• Diamond-cut aluminum Sky High logo and model plates are fully reversible.
• Mount your amp vertically, horizontally, or stacked and still keep the branding clean and straight.

 

 

Modular Center Panel

 

• Drop-in customizable overlays (sold separately), available in:
  
• Forged carbon
• Mirror stainless
• Paint-matched aluminum
• Acrylic/plexi light-up options
• No adhesives or heavy fabrication needed—just swap and bolt on.

 

 

Optional Footless Endcaps

 

• Smooth, footless ends for flush mounts on clean walls or rail-based installs.

 

 

 

 

 

Power Input Flexibility

 

 

Input Expansion Kits (Sold Separately)

 

• Add more 12V power delivery points for extreme systems.
• Available in:
  
• Cast aluminum
• CNC’d aircraft-grade aluminum
• Copper

 

 

Ring Terminal Adapters (Sold Separately)

 

• Great for tight installs and ultra-clean panel work.
• Bolt-on design for secure, high-conductivity connections.

 

 

 

 

 

Advanced Control: CAT6 Remote System

 

 

• Link up to 12 SHCA amps over CAT6.
• Control gain, subsonic, LPF, and phase from a single remote unit.
• Monitor amp temperature and voltage.
• Fully compatible with the Sky High Smart Bass Knob for at-seat control.

 

 

 

 

 

Mounting Options for High-End Builds

 

 

As with the rest of the SHCA line, the 10500.1 is designed around modular mounting so it can fit nearly any layout:

 

Bracket Kits (Sold Separately)

 

• Support:
  
• Stacking
• Vertical mounting (adjustable and static mounts)
• Floating wall installs
• Side-by-side linking
• Use proprietary slide-lock channels built into the heatsink for secure mounting.

 

 

Bracket Material Options:

 

• Extruded aluminum – lightweight and modular
• Cast aluminum – durable and cost-effective
• Machined billet aluminum – show-grade, premium appearance
