I own this amp and it is a very nice amp. The remote control bass is a very good feature if you want your bass low or slamming as hard as you can take it. I have them running 2 Kicker CVR's and its definitely getting the job done. Its not the best amp around but definitely not the worst. I would recommend this to someone who loves a lot of power cause this will do it for you. Has only cut off once and gone into protect mode so I'm very impressed.

I've owned a lot of amps mostly mtx and kicker i wouldn't put this in the same class but it is def worth the money. I have mine running a single jl audio 12w7 @3 ohms so in theory it should be pushing aorund 900 watts its beating the guts outta my sub and sending pretty clean signal after a lot of tuning. The filters are kinda cheap and take a little time to get just right so take your time.

First 1700 worked for 2 days, then broke. Getting a replacement soon, will update review when that comes, until then.
For the price, you can't really beat this amp. The rules of the CEA-2006 compliancy is that it does rated power @ 4ohm, not 2 & 1 ohm, so I'm not sure if it does rated power at those resistances. I do not have a clamp meter so I can't verify. ..But this amp does do work. While it did work, I was told I could be heard a half mile away with my garbage of a box for a fi bl 18". So yeah, for the price you can't beat it, but if you have money to spend, go with a higher quality amplifier.

Review by
iPACKgoldDOTS from Cocoa, FL

I purchased four (that's right four) of these in december to run my FI SP418s. I am running one amp per coil so each sub is seeing 3400 watts. Upon delivery one amp was DOA so I had to send it back but Sonic stepped up and did a great job of getting me the replacement I needed. Im running four BatCap batteries to help with voltage. If anyone wants to see vids my YouTube SN is iPACKgoldDOTS. I rated the features portion of this review low because of one simple thing and that's angled terminals. I'm not a fan of trying to bend 0 gauge wire into a terminal. It's flat out poor R&D. Does it work? Yes. Would be allot easier and better if they were straight? Yes.

I replaced a RF Prime 1000 with this unit. I would characterize it as turning on a light in a cave. Now I can see!!!! Although I'm running it at 2 ohm, the 1200 watts deliver a much deeper and clearer bass than the Prime did. I've pounded it for several hrs without any ambient temperature problems. It is pushing a pair of Cerwin Vega VMax 10" subs and it hits very accurately. I would caution you to be careful during installation, the heat sink edges are very, very sharp!

This amp is simply put, a beast. I had it pushing 3 12" kicker cvr's and though the subs weren't the best I've had people would still complain of headaches when they heard my system. All in all that amp did it's job 100%. This thing was pounding these subs to they're max with a one ohm final impedence with the gain set at only about 30%. The amp definately could do more but my little 4 gauge couldn't sustain it. Even thought it was at about 30% it still fried the wire a bit when turned up. Great amp overall cool design never overheated. But just make sure you have adequate wire gauge for and you will be beatin down your block!

Excellent proformance! POWERHORSE; great power output, durable, option fuction- very usefull, nice looking, blue power light! Well worth the money if your looking for a nice amp to power your sub(s). I used them in my cab with my two 12" L7s. They are pounding.

This is an overall great buy, it powers a pair of Kicker CVX subs very accurately and smoothly, I have slammed the bass for hours and jar never had it over heat. Plus the blue illuminated Hifonics always grabs peoples attention.
