Customer Testimonial

First off. Their prices cannot be beat. I look online for over an hour and found no one that would work within my price range. Then Came Sonic Electronix and they were awesome. I could not believe it. I worked with Amanda and she was professional, courteous, friendly & easy to work with. Thank you!!

The sleek design of the chassis combined with the illuminated badge makes these amplifiers eye-catchers. The JAD1200.1 monoblock includes a wired remote bass knob as well as a convenient power and ground gauge adapter for converting the 8 gauge inputs into 1/0 gauge inputs. Dual speaker terminals bridge the amplifier internally allowing for less confusion when wiring multiple subwoofers.

I purchased the JAD800.4 along with a JAD1200.1 to power my Infinity Kappa speakers and MB Quart subs. My first choice was the Infinity Kappa Five amp, but I had problems with two of them and was given a store credit. Second time around I decided to go with two amps (4/1channel) hoping for better performance / reliability.

I read a lot of mixed reviews on Class D amplifiers. Many people think that A/B has better sound quality, while others prefer the small footprint, high power / low heat output of Class D. Being an engineer I reviewed the specs and was very impressed with the signal to noise as well as the THD compared to Class A/B.

NVX is a relatively new brand so I turned to Google and found several good reviews. I was looking at the Polk amps and NVX seems to be very similar, with the controls panels and specs being almost identical (and NVX was in stock).

Out of the box the amps had a solid feel and clean look. They have a soft-start feature that powers them up a few seconds after they get power. This gives you time to start your engine without drawing any current. Very nice.

The sound quality is excellent - better than other A/B amps I had in the past. More than enough power - I haven't even cranked them all the way up yet and don't think I'll ever have to.

I have a second MB Quart 10 RLP on back order because with one sub I was getting distortion before I could feel the bass. It turns out that the Infinity Kappa Five amp was the weak link. The JAD 1200.1 pushes one sub very well.

The only negative I have to say about these amps is that the adjustment dials take a philips screwdriver, and they do not have an arrow or line showing you what it is set to. This made it a little inconvenient to tweak the crossover points.

Have a quick look at the Polk or Hertz hdp line and you will notice the similarities instantly. These amps are small, feature packed, and sound great. They sound as good as any d class I've heard and are priced well below their value. This is a no brainier.

I've only had the amp hooked up for a day so far.but it seems to be built pretty sturdy.set on low setting right now till speakers are broken in good.comes with power cable gauge adapters to allow 1/0 power hookups.bass knob included which is great.amp splits internally to drop youre ohm,makes hooking multiple speakers simple.for durability im going to give it a five bc i havent really had a chance to work it hard yet but even at low settings hooked to two vcw104 it sounds great
