I purchased this about 3 weeks ago along with 2 Re Audio SEX12D4s. Im Running it at 1 ohm about 1200 rms. Pushes the subs which are 600 rms each with ease.. gain isn't even half up. I have a pioneer head unit. 4V pre outs. For all the people saying this doesn't put out 1400 rms at 1 ohm. it does..easily ....first off its CEA certified so it has to put out 1400 rms....and second it still puts it out as clean power. not that distorted crap you get with other brands. yea they may put out their "Rated Power" but its not clean. take an Oscilloscope to this. Its Clean even at 1400 RMS. I Did. I Took an O Scope to my friends Kicker Amp and it clips the signal at about 3/4 its rated power...
ALL IN ALL well worth the money....just as good as a 1400 watt rms amp for 4 times the price...Pay for the Product not the BRAND NAME.
Looks good too. Nice and Shiny. and the blue glow from the logo is an added touch....
Also 4 gauge wire is all that will fit in the power and ground terminals. im running 12 gauge speaker wire just fine...would probably fit 10 gauge but 12 is fine for pretty much anything.

Im from Canada , vancouver island to be more specific , and i have recently gotten back into the car audio game after a long stint away and I was disgusted by what my local shops were charging for the major 5 i call them.(pioneer, kicker,clarion,hertz,sony)and quite frankly that is all we see out here,
so sick of my local choices I began my epic quest which led me to SONIC and a whole new world was opened up for me
Ordered after much hunting the Hifonics glx1400.1d, after a million comparisons and what was and wasnt cea compliant this one was a no brainer
Hifonics gladiator series ARE cea compliant and they are powered by MAXXSONICS which make hifonics,mb quart, autotek, and crunch
all very under rated as far as "name brands go"
sonics online shopping to canada DESTROYS all others online, we had a little hiccup on our order (my fault) and they had it fixed immediately couldnt ask for better service and fast shipping , I thought i'd have a couple weeks to finish up the truck , they had the thing here hella quick, and the no nonsence all in one billing that covers duties,shipping and all that mumbo jumbo made it seamless
so would I order the amp or another one like it for another project HELL YEAH this amp is putting the specified rms to my 10 inch mtx 9500, that sub / amp combo is bananas real talk.
would i order from sonic again? funny you should ask because im back on the site to place order #2 these guys are legit they just give you a good price and send you your toys , like it should be
i do however wish sonic sold a couple of other brands ie memphis, zapco, dc audio, american bass, and the biggest one of all SUNDOWN AUDIO because if you guys put those on here i would be in some trouble ..
BOTTOM LINE KILLER AMP , BEATS UP THE BLOCK, NEVER GETS HOT,
and Sonic is killer no complaints with the website, the staff , and the shipping , couldnt have gone smoother.
now send me some stickers sonic so i can get my fellow mislead canadians on board

This amp is amazing. I've heard both good and bad things about this amp and yeah, this amp puts out what it says, 1400 or more. It pushes the s*** out of my 2 kicker 12l5's. Amp stays cool even after 2 hours of just straight banging

This is AMP is amazing to the fullest. If you are breaking out of using the run of the mill monoblock amps and 2 channel amps, this amp is for you. It is incredibly powerful, and can get the power you need to your subs. For the price there is no comparison, plus it holds all the features the more expensive amplifiers hold, which makes for a astonishing listening experience. Lows like no other and can have your system punching with the best of em'. i currently have it powering 2 ts-w3002 pioneer championship series subs at only 500w a piece and the sound get ridiculously loud with the volume up but the remote control all the way on min power from the amp. This is a must buy. Very Satisfied.

I purchased this from Sonic and got it in my truck with 2 cerwin vega 12" vmax's and it was like christmas. My girl cant ride with the system up for the vibrations in the seat..... lol. all in all it powers my vega's very well but my truck sounds like its gonna fall apart.... guess dynamat here i come and deff make sure you got enough power to handle this thing cause it does pull some amps even at only 2 ohms.
