So far so good.
I needed a new amp to power my AudioPipe BD3 12, it was on a 2channel Oxygen Audio amp that only did 600w @ 2ohms. The best it could do was 1200rms bridged @ 4ohms. Anyway, I needed a "budget" amp that could push some more power. I have it wired to 2ohms and it sounds noticeably better. I've only had it for a dew days so I can't speak for longevity, but price for power rationis definitely on point.
The only bad thing I can speak on so far is the bass remote. The minute I plugged it in I got a loud feedback and noise from my sub and it froze. Idk whatn the hell that was about, but I just stayed with the bass remote from my active xover. Because of very mixed reviews In was sure to buy the warranty plan for this amp. Rather be safe than sorry.

not quite 2000 rms
Wired to 1 ohm on the scope I can see more like 1300 before this amp clips. Overall totally worth the money sound is clean have not put it in protect yet nor cooked it. Right now its pushing a pair of infinity 12s hard enough to flex every panel in the car including the hood. Would like another one for my truck due to its small size. Too bad it doesnt take bigger than 4ga wire....

Best Cheap amp
This in my opinion is the best of the amps...It will definitely flex stuff if you have the right sub and box combo!!!

I guess it works?
Bought this amp to power my Audiopipe BD3-12 and a week in, my sub is dead. The amp definitely powered it better than the OxygenAudio amp that was only doing 600w RMS @2ohms. Its wired with 4 guage Ground and P+. I went through the whole tuning with a 50hz wave and set my gains with a DMM at 41volts (which is from my math of 900wX2Ohms=1800, SqaureRoot of that being 42.xxx). I really hope that I didn't leave any space for clipping, but there is definitely a dead coil in my sub as I can feel some scraping when I push in the cone. I guess I dont know if I should be happy that the amp apparently has some power, or sad and confused that my sub is dead and it could possibly have been my fault...
Amp is very plain, sorry if im used to some sort of illumination from my previous O2 and Alpine amps, but I guess simplicity works. I would have loved an illuminated face on it. IJS.

Great amp! Not as "clean" as more expensive amps...
This amp was a great surprise! Nice sound and great bass response. It's not as clean sounding as more expensive amps, but I have it on a kicker 12" with only 1/2 the gain and this thing pounds. Good for the price. Lots of tuning options also...

Holy moly!
Wowzers, I purchased an open box version and when it arrived I was stunned at the build quality. I researched this amp extensively before purchasing, clamp videos and forums, I STILL didn't expect such superb quality from an amplifier so inexpensive.
On par with $300 amplifiers such as Sundown,DC,Crescendo etc... etc... but at a fraction of the cost. Now obviously this isn't a $300 amplifier so it isn't going to put out much more than rated RMS, but considering it is CEA-2006 certified and has a few clamped/O-scoped videos on youtube doing approx rated power its pretty darn good.
Sucker is heavy compared to "mainstream" amps like Kicker,Pioneer,Sony. Bass remote is excellent quality as well, even the remote CORD is high quality.
One of the secondary reasons for picking this amplifier was the Bass boost EQ (30-80hz adjustable), no other amplifiers in this price range have it, Unless you want to spend $250+.
It was a tough decision between this and the Hifonics line of CEA-2006 models. I'm very content with my choice.

Sounds Great!!!
I had never heard of this amp and I have been building custom stereo systems for over 20 years and this amp sounds awesome for the money. If your looking to build a nice system and keep money in your pocket I suggest this brand of amp for your subs.

sub killing inexpensive well built amplifier.
Let me start out by saying don't belive any of the reviews on any site that say this amp don't put out the RMS power that the company states. IT PUTS OUT THE RMS AND THEN SOME. I installed this amp in my wife's suv on her alpine typeS 12 inch sub that is rated at 1000w RMS and 3000w MAX @1ohm load believing all the reviews about this amp not pushing it's rms. Well now the wife has a new 12 inch sub because the amp was way to powerful for the 1 alpine 12, I had the gain at 80% and the bass boost around the same level, that was the hardest and best that sub had ever hit, we'll at least for the first 5hrs tge new amp was installed. No I didn't run the sub 5hrs straight but had only installed the amp 5hrs prior to driving 30mins to the store and on the drive back the alpine gave it's life to the audio gods. The sub was hitting great and all of a sudden it stopped and sounded as if the sub was stuck in the up position. Once I got home and inspected the sub to no avail it was blown and once I dissected I found the cooked and blackened which coil. So in conclusion if u want an amp that does what it says that it will do and ur on a budget or its like mine for the wife's car then this is the amp to get, but make sure when you buy the amp tgat you under power your sub or subs combined rms so u don't kill a 200$ sub in one day like I did. All is good though I had an mtx 8500 series 12 to put in the wife's ride @ a 2ohm load with an old kicker zx750.1 she is happy again. remember HAPPY WIFE HAPPY LIFE!!!!!!!

Awsome Choice
I would definitely recommend this product, it puts out the power it says it does. I have 2 Hifonics Brz12sqd4's (square Brutus) hooked up and they are to the limit. You definitely won't be disapointed when buying this amp, for the price its a steal!

The specifications are correct with the RMS. Looks great, Feels durable, stays cool, no distortion.
Great product for an even better price. Comparable to more well known brand names.

Good for the price
Bought this amp about 8 months ago. Have the powering 2 Rockford p2 12s and they had tons of power. About 3 months ago the amp shorted out and under warranty sonic sent me a brand new one free of charge. I since have replaced it with a Rockford p-1200 amp. It doesn't hit as loud as the Belva amp did, so if you want some hard hitting power for cheap Belva is the way to go!

Surprised
For the amount of money this amp cost, I'm almost positive all the money you pay goes into the inside workings of the amp. Some of the parts that come with it are pretty cheap looking (bass knob in particular) and the amp isn't flashy but it most definitely does the job you're asking it to do. Looks very clean but bass knob looks cheap. Highly recommend, very surprised with the quality it produced.

Great Bang for your Bucks.
Purchased the Belva BB2000D just to try this new brand. And WOW most definitely stronger then I was thinking. Im using it to run a Massive Audio Kilo 12 running it at 2ohm. Im very impressed and looking to buy the Belva BB5000D to run a couple of Massive Audio Sumo 12s.

Had this amp about 2 weeks and for the price you can not beat it, it was worth a shot and wow!! did it exceed my expectations.I have it running at 1 ohm on a Soundqubed HDS312 and it beats hard and only have it 1/4 of the gain until sub breaks in and I am surprised at the power. Highly recommend and Sonic's shipping was amazing

Bad A** Amp
This amp is a power house, I have it paired with my power acoustik mofo 15 wired to 1 ohm and it is crazy shakes everything, got yelled at by the neighbors for shaking there house apart. If i play it too long its even too much for my mofo which is realistically a 1000-1200 watt sub. It makes the aluminum dust cap hot to the touch and starts to smell funny after 30 minutes or so of pounding full blast. So i would say it does a good job sounds great picks up lows really well, defiantly sounds great and puts out the 1200 watts it claims. Buy this amp lots and lots of pure power for the money.

not bad not bad at all
I'm actually surprised how well this amp performs. the gain is only about 1/4 up and the bass knob. half way and man this thing pounds my single rockford fosgate p3 hard, my sub goes crazy and it sounds very clean but powerful pretty good amp for the money .

Great Amp for the Price
The BB2000D is a very clean looking small packaged amplifier with lots of power. I have not found anything in the price range that meets this level of quality/power for the price. The board has a very clean layout. The primary coil has multiple windings and good insulation. A compliant of good quality stiffening caps. Interestingly, the transistors leads are also insulated which I haven't seen on even higher end amps. I did not put it to a one ohm load but, regardless, stressed it in high afternoon heat and it barely got warm while my control amplifier did. Notably, the pictures do not show the nice deep accent of heat sinks down both sides of the amp. At 12.8 volts running at 2ohm I believe I saw around 675 watts, which should be right in-line with its given specs. I can say that the preamps will tolerate beyond 6v of input as I used 7.5 from the epicenter. Surprisingly, the amp does not lose too much power with lower tones like many cheaper amps. My only suggestion would be more durable end caps because those installers with less experience or lack of carefulness can easily break them. Highly suggest you use the included screws and washers to mount the unit. Belva obviously put great effort and cost into the internals and not a lot of flashy exterior nonsense or features you do not need. Overall, I give a great job to Belva and hope they are around for a while. I'm a big fan of the underdog and this one is a knock-out. I will be doing a review of the bb3000d soon.

Alright
I got this amp to replace my fried Rockford Fosgate Prime 1200. I have it wired to two Rockford Fosgate P3D412s at 1 ohm. The amp pushes them alright but not as good as the other one. Also the bass has dulled since I first bought it. I have already put the amp into protect mode due to overheating three times. Not a bad amp for the price though.

True to the specs and more
I bought this amp to power a 1000 watt american bass 15". I was sceptical at first with the inexpensive price. BUT i put it on an oscilloscope today and was very pleased with the performance. fully tuned it puts out a CLEAN 1392 watts just below clipping. so it's even a little underrated. definitely buy it if you need to save some change and have a good strong amp. also you can push it hard for 2 or 3 hours and it's just slightly warm to the touch. that's the longest i've run it so far. I'm sold on this brand great amp.

Little Power Monster !
Bought this amp cos of the reviews and could not be happier. This amp cranks not a true 2000 watts more like 1300 but for a hundred bucks not bad at all. I crank mine on long drives and even with being hot and humid outside this amp never shuts down. Awesome amp and Sonic is the best place to buy car audio thanks again .

Best Bang
I got this amp based on the reviews from sonicelectronix.com and youtube. I have 1 Sa 12 Sundown D2 running at 1 ohm. Probably at little extra headroom for this sub. It sounds if I got 2 subs. I'm old school back when you paid a $1 to 2 dollars per watt. 10 cents per watt is a great deal.

Still Kicking
I still own and use version 1 of this amplifier. Is still pushes woofers like it was intended, never gets hot, and has survived being in multiple vehicles and a tester for new subs when friends complain that their "subwoofers are weak." Just replaced this in my primary car with a V2 BB3000D, and it shall continue knocking air around in my other ride that requires less power.

Belva BB2000D
Great amp for the price. Definitely does rated. Clamped 950 rms at 1.5 ohm on a 45 hz sine wave. Was a huge 4th order so imagine a bit of box rise had to do with the extra .5 ohm. Great amp.

Good but not great
First time purchasing this brand, Decided to give it a try for the price. The look is simple and doesn't have much to it. The back cover is really thin sheet metal that feels flimsy just touching it. The bass knob also isn't made from the best material. Sometimes the amp wont push my sub as it should even though the connections and settings are good. Not sure if problem with bass knob or the amp itself. Currently have it pushing my 10inch L7 Kicker solo-baric. Overall not a bad amp for the price.

Belva classD mono amp .
I don't know how accurate the specs are but I can tell you that this thing has more then enough juice to power a NVX 1200 watt rms sub with authority and accuracy . I am a firm believer in class D amps over A/B . You can now get class d amps that are as good as class A/B amps as far as signal to noise ratio . I replaced a class a/b with this class d and the difference in bass response is surprisingly abundant comparatively speaking . I strongly recommend this amp even if you are not on budget . A GREAT amp at a great price along with the outstanding service you get with Sonic Electronics !!! AAA . Oh yea the amp doesn't even get warm running at 1 ohm .

Great bang for the buck
Replace my Power Acoustic 1800/2 with this amp and the difference is significant. This is a great amp at that price level. I have only had the amp for a couple weeks so I cannot yet speak to the durability.

Insanity!
I bought this amp to replace am MB Quart Ref 800.1. I was a little nervous about how this amp would perform at first because of the fact that the input size does not accept anything larger than 4 Guage. I judged this amp wrong. Absolute monster! I cannot believe they are even selling this amp for less than $200. Belva fan for life now!
