Nice Amp!

Not the most powerful. But has accurate, clean, rich sound. And doesn't get hot running at 1 ohm. Good buy for sound quality. Not so much am spl amp.

Great amp

I have this amp powering 2 RE Audio SEX 15's in a sealed box wired down to one ohm. The amp doesn't get hot, even during the summers in Arizona. I set the gains, filters, and haven't really messed with it since. Most of the time, I have the volume set at a moderate level, but it does push those subs pretty good when you want it to. If you're all about about SPL and getting loud, there are better amps suited for your needs. If you want a reasonably priced amp that puts out clean power for a daily driver type setup, then I'd highly recommend this amp. My only complaint is that I had to trim some of the copper from my 0 gauge wires in order to fit it into the terminals. Other than that, great amp.

Great amp...packs a mean punch

Great amp. I have it pushing a 12" GTO sub and it never gets hot. More amp then I need. Quality amp and plenty of adjustments.

Great product/service

Originally I ordered and received the 1200.1 version which had to be returned. With product authorization, Sonic Electronics did me a huge solid by replacing the out-of-production model with the next model up, the 1500.1.

This amp is working great and I would recommend it to folks looking for good clean power in a small package.

Sonic electronics' fantastic service will keep me coming back.
