Customer Ratings & Reviews

Small in size, Big in power!

I bought this to add to my stock Jeep head unit . I bought it for the size and wattage. Excellent choice as the amp fit right next to the stock radio behind the dash. This means not having to run long wires. I'm impressed with the sound and the subs have some bump. For the price size and output it can't be beat!

Great amp

Easy install, small in size so can go almost anywhere, really brings out the sound of my Infinity kappas!! I would say a big YES on recommendation of this product.

2010 f150 supercrew

Fast shipping!!! Easy install!!!! Great product!!! I bought it to boost my stock stereo in my 2010 f-150. I changed the 4 door speakers too the kicker and added this amp to gain overall volume and clarity. It is amazing. I am so happy with the outcome. I was able to keep my stock head unit and hide this small amp in my center console so that the truck would keep its stock appearance. The sou d quality is great and the volume is 10 times better than stock.

Small space amp

Looking for better sound quality but not looking for rolling thunder? Then this is it. Installed in a Jeep Wrangler TJ that pretty much stays open year round. This amp tucked up nicely under the dash to the firewall, yes, it's small. Doesn't offer much tunabilty for those that like to dial and tweak their sound but with the right head unit it's just fine. Easy wiring made it a breeze to connect.

Surprised

Surprised is the only way to describe the XC1410. I don’t typically post reviews, but this amp is was worth my time. Amazing power and clarity for the size. The install took about 20 minutes and the unit fit under my center console. This amp should be a mandatory accessory for all head units as it is just that good. Longevity has yet to be determined.

Installed in Ultra Classic

I bought this little amp for my 09 Harley Ultra Classic. Installed in batwing on top of radio and it fit great!

Clarion XC1410

Great value and quality, just what I needed to complete my system!!

Great product

I would recommend this product because of its ease of installation and it's "bang for your buck".For the price I find it to be one of the better amplifiers out there

Small Amp with Big Clean Sound

This small amp is excellent for the money, and the size and power is perfect. Installed on my boat and what a night and day difference. Using it for some 6x9s and 6.75s. The amp works really well for this size of speakers. I am very pleased with my purchase. I was not sure about quality and size of amp but i was wrong. It would be hard to beat the quality and power of this little amp. Thumbs up for anyone looking to add power to a radio.

Small amp

This amp fits in the dash is easy to hook up and doesn't run too hot. Works good with factory radios.

Great Amp for good price.

I would recommend this product it's a great value. Nice amp for a nice price.

Big sounds small package!

This amp creates a lot of extra juice for any upgraded or stock speaker system. Easy to install and can be mounted in the smallest of areas. Good purchase for the price!

clean

I have this amp in my 04 r150 alpine head unit and alpine type s 6x8 great mids and nice clean highs .love it

Lil' Powerpack!

I bought this amp primarily for its small size. I needed something that would fit within some dash space to be close to the vehicle existing speaker wiring and head unit (Clarion ARX7570z). The amp drives eight speakers, two per channel by four channels(nominal 2 ohm load)without any apparent difficulty. The price was a real deal, the difference in sound quality easily made it worth the time and expense.

Clarion Amp Review

The amp does what I needed it to do. Fabbed a bracket that fits under my steering column. I have a Jeep wrangler so when the top is off it's hard to hear sound. I don't have that problem anymore because of the amp. I gave it 4 stars for features because maybe someone else would want more settings on it. For me it's worth 5 stars because it's simple and powered my 2 DB 521s and 652s. Would recommend

Very good product

I needed a way to get better sound from my Parrott for the ipod etc so I put this inline in the speaker harness and it works excellent. Now I just need a speaker upgrade to handle the power.

Better than Alpine's offerings

I've had the KTP445 from alpine and this unit delivers. Much more bass response and the annoying hiss isn't there either. Pair this up with a Pioneer and it'll be even more amazing. Mid's and Hi's are very outstanding. I got this on a black friday deal so it was well worth it.

clarion XC1410

I bought this amp for it compact size. It produces good sound. The only complaint is the amp get really hot after long periods of usage. I have to add a fan and maybe a heat sink. Overall its a great product at a good price.

great little amp

the clarion xc 1410 is small an perfect to install anywhere u want sound great and most of all easy to wire up I install it with my kenwood head unit sound very good for the price u can go wrong.

Good little amp

This amp sounds great and is so small it is amazing. It will fit in places you never thought of for an amplifier. The only negative I have (and the only reason for one star missing) is that it does not have any gain adjustment. This would not be a problem at all if you are using it to run everything in your system but if you have multiple amplifiers it can be a little difficult to get the levels balanced without this adjustment.

Excellent

I am using this with the stock head unit in a 97 Grand Prix and this amplifier fit up in the dash and sounds superb! Puts out plenty of power to my stock door speakers, which can handle more power than I though, and powers my Kenwood 6x0's great. I would highly recommend this amp. No problems thus far.

Very good value, rocks for it's size.

I wanted a small amp to put in my 1995 Jeep Cherokee 2 door. The new head unit is a Sony that is digital media player and doesn't have a built in amp. The speakers are Infinity 6 1/2" 2 ways in the door, with 1 1/2" tweeters wired in parallel on the dash. There are Infinity 6x9 3 ways mounted in the rear hatch and a powered 6 1/2" Bazooka sub behind the seat. I didn't have a lot of room left over inside, so the Clarion looked great. I was actually able to mount the amp in the glove box! I had to cut a couple small holes for power and speaker wires, but it was close enough to the Sony that I didn't even have to use any RCA patch cables. Power, ground, and turn on wire were easy to run, as were the speaker wires coming out. The unit really has a nice sound and gets quite loud. I have the Sony configured for high pass only for all the speakers, and all the low end going to the Bazooka, so the amp doesn't have to push a lot of power for bass, so I don't know how it would handle that load. Easy to install, super small, great sound, really a great unit, buy it!!

Clean, but kicks into protection at higher levels

Using this on an Alpine Media player driving Rockford 6.5 inch coaxials and HD (Schosche) 4X6s. Very clean but trips into protection near the top end of the range. The HU is a 4 volt output and the amp only has a high/low switch for input adjustment. I can dial the output level down from the HU so this shouldn't be a problem, but this thing should trip so easy. I have the Alpine KTP-445U amp and it's fine under the same load and only marginally lower output.

great price and amp

This little amp rocks. I have a 2007 Camry SE.. I put four 6x9 JBL W/ built in tweeters in the doors and back deck..The RMS on speakers and amp are closely matched. Used a metra wiring harness which made the amp a plug and play. One end of the harness plugs into the head unit, the other end to the factory connectors of the head unit. The wires are labeled on the metra harness so you can't mess up. The amp is so small i layed it below the console. The 6x9's can handle the bass, so i put the crossover switch to flat. And since i came out the stock head unit set the sensitivity switch to high. Also you'll need speaker adapters for doors and rear deck.... Cons , my girlfriend complains it's to loud.

Very nice

Installed on a boat to run X4 6.5" speakers, X2 kicker km6500, and X2 infinity 612M. I cant say if its louder than a head unit as speakers were run direct to this amp and never installed on a cd player. This amp is AWESOME for the price, runs speakers very loud, and clear all the way to max power, very impressed. I did notice it will shut off at 11.9Volts DC power which is nice on marine install because you know your battery is low and engine needs started. I have already recommended this amplifier to a friend who is going to purchase one. I would say 10 out of 10 for awesomeness.

small but loud

Good product, easy to install, put it in my farring on my Harley.

Hard to beat

Hard to beat for a marine 4 ch in this price range. Granted you need to understand what you intend to use it for. Excellent band for the buck to give 2 or 4 speakers some extra oomph. Takes up very little space and that was important to me also since I installed this under the center console of a boat. Not bridgeable and that may be the only downside but I never intended to bridge it anyway. Can't comment too much about the durability but I've had it about 2 months with no issues.

Perfect upgrade for a stock

Highly recommended if you're looking for a little more punch than a stock system. Haven't had a single problem with it.

My only tiff is there isn't really any adjustments you can do to the output.

Easy install as well. High level. I put it under my front driver's seat where my speaker connection are. Usually I wouldn't because of theft, but it's so tiny you can even see it from any angle besides under and it's bolted.

Clarion XC1410 is a Perfect Match

So I like many others have had to replace the factory amp in my BMW. I chose this product because of its size and the reviews of others. Once I got it installed I found that it was exactly as reported. This thing gives awesome clear sound. I was actually considering replacing the factory amp in my other BMW with one of these just so my wife's car did not sound better than mine. So yes, this product promotes jealousy. Buyer beware....lol

This amp is a secret weapon!!!!

I a m so glad i read all the reviews for this amp....I'm a 50 year old guy that loves punchy rock and good volume,but haven't messed around with any car audio since the early 90's. I recently bought a luxury vehicle with a "premium bose audio" system and as any anyone who has ever owned such a system....IT BLOSE!! I paired this amp with a JVC HDR81BT receiver and Infinity Kappas and included the factory sub. This amp is such genius and simple,that i mounted as others have here...behind the receiver in the dash.Simple and stealthy....and yet it is a sound volcano.....crystal clear and extremely loud...distortion free High end audio...made a believer out of a younger coworker who laughed when it arrived,but his mouth fell to the floor when i showed up after the weekend i installed it and gave a full bore demonstration...this guy used to enter competitions and he was utterly amazed at the sound quality and punch this amp delivered...so much so that he has vowed to order one as well....Love it and hope to do so for many years. I bought the 3 year squaretrade warranty and doubt after a month of blasting it constantly that i'll need it....quality equipment and can't recommend enough. Just make sure and feed it with the correct gauge power wire,make good connections,and stand back....

Awesome amp

Very very very happy with this little guy. It is even smaller than I expected and I had no problem to fit it on my 2011 CR-V.
I bought a 10AWG amplifier power supply kit and it was very easy to hook it up.
Nothing special to say, it has been working perfectly out of the box.
I didn't replace the H/U so I used the speaker level inputs and honestly the sound is amazing. I'm sure it would be even better if I had some Pre-out RCA connectors but I can't compare for sure.
Thanks Sonic, great price, great product!

size matters!!!!

I am so pleased with the ability to put this amp anywhere. I also must say big things come in small packages (sound). Very happy with my purchase.

Clarion XC 1410

I bought this amp to go along with some other stereo componets, and I must say I was really surprised on quality of output from the amp, bass response is great and mids are nice and punchy. Good product, simple to install. At this point I cannot comment on durability. Thanks Sonic.

Perfect Fit

I added Music to my GSX-1300 but couldn't hear anything above 70 mph. Tried a series of small amps and non were really effective. Larger amps wouldn't fit under the seat.

Not only did the Clarion fit, it provides sound that is loud & clear clear. Great 4 channel.

great amp

Great Small amplifier to get your oem stereo powerful

Cons: Amp get little warm...

Great

This amp is great for the price and size. The extra 20-50w makes a big difference. Really easy to hook up and hide away. There is no gain on it but it's pretty much set where I want it. There is no remote wire, it uses the power antenna (blue wire) to turn on. I think that also doubles as the remote, but I'm not sure. I'm also getting some engine noise from it. It's probably from a ground loop that should be an easy fix. I played it very loud on 2ohms for about 1.5 hours it didn't go into protect.

My music sounds a lot better now and I can hear over my subs.

SMALL AMP WITH A BIG SOUND

Easy to install and easier to set it up, great sound in a small size amp.

Good amp small package

Installed in my jeep on a pair of 6x9s and 6.5s.sounds great and out of the way of any water

Smaller than the factory amp it replaced with nice power output

A good choice for factory amp upgrade if you don't intend to re-wire heavier guage power wire and increase load on your electrical system.

Great amp

I install this in 2008 ford F-150 supercrew cab. WOW it made my speakers sound great. Great bass, Clear sound. I am going to buy 6x8 pioneer 2 way speakers next for more better sound.

Great Sound for my Jeep

I am very happy with the sound from this amp the size is perfect for under drivers seat of my Jeep I have JVC head unit 4x6 Cliff Design in dash and 6.5 MB Quarts overhead it rocks

great piece

Upon intiall reviews found hundreds of positive ,and only positive,comments on this unit.I never found one bad review on this eq.It is well worth its weight ,it strengthens youre signal almost to the level of a line driver ,splits one single audio out into multiple outs and sub out,has master and sub volume 7 bands with some well built solid knobs.I use my RTA app with RTA mic and some pink noise and white noise,and i have to say between those free apps a 100 dollar rta mic i can x over and tune my home and car systems flat across the board everytime.I need an eq to accomplish a flat line and this one works well im very happy and would not hesitate to buy again.Sonic had the best price on this guy so dont even shop elsewhere .good luck

nice product

Small an powerful. Worked great on my harley. Much better than expected. Im planning on buying another for my other bike

Good amp

Very good amp. Will recomend it to the world I'm verry satisfyed

Clarion XC1410

Great product. Installed this for a buddy to send more power to his aftermarket speakers and it's awesome. Didnt even have to use the equalizer to get the system to sound clear. Its great for small places and its pretty simple to wire up. I would definitely recommend this amp.

Great price

Installed this in friend's car and sounds so much better. Would recommend

Awesome bad A** lot better then last years model

Hey people it time to change up with the times and make your stereo system way better believe me you will be so happy you did, I use the high inputs for my front & rear and tweeters that hooks to my 4-channel power acoustik amp and hook rear RCA input to my Mono 6000-watt amp then fine tune with controls Nice and clear system with nice deep bass when you is playing old school RB from 1979 thru 1990's Real music.

By Lacville Rolling on December 24, 2015 Verified purchase

real power

I got this amp not wanting to take up space in my 08 liberity or change my head unit just yet so i changed my speakers to the jl audio tr 650 cxi which sound real nice and clean with this small amp i was so shocked at the sound i got from this amp on these speakers cant believe the power it puts out and it does not get warm at all. i have it mounted behind the glove box you wont be let down at all with this amp. it is put together very well. if you want clean power that will make your speakers sound good look no further. this will do the job and i would get another hands down and you cant beat the price in a local audio store they want 199.99 and i got it for under a 100 this company has bounced back very nicely look forward to there bigger line of amps

it helped alot

I was able to Increse my out put from 2.5 to 7 or so .sounds great from to brute ok life ow well

Clarion EQS755 - Car Equalizer (Replaces EQS746)

So far so good still playing with it and my two amps but so far it's good across all frequencies it's not as controlled as I would want but for this price point it is wholly competent at it's job compared to a plan factory radio.

Great value

Recommended works perfect in my car sistem !!!! Happy with the price

Looks great and wide sound control

I have this EQS755 mounted with an eq faceplate kit. The knobs are kind of small but they sort of have to be. The blue knob background is fantastic, bright and cool looking. This has a very wide sound curve and I can achieve any kind of sound I want. I like the separate bass volume knob but I keep the main volume up and use the head unit volume mainly because of the remote, and the knob is a lot bigger. Also, Sonic is a GREAT company to work with.

Sound shaping made easy

This 7 band equalizer does an incredible job for custom shaping and balancing the overall sound of the system. Utilizing a pink noise generator along with frequency analyzer and Sennheiser 421 mike, I was able to flatten the whole system effectively, enhancing the overall clarity. The price point of this Clarion EQ is fantastic for the qualities this unit possesses. It would be a great value if it just helped with sub volume balancing.

Exelent EQ, the best im really Happy whith the sound yes sr.

Clarion EQS755

I purchased this to EQ tie my stock 8-track radio and amp together by utilizing the high level input from my stock speakers, for some reason my 8 track radio doesn't have RCA's ;0)
Does what I purchased it for very well. Compact enough to tuck away discretely and fills the musical void provided from my 1970's HU. Definitely recommend if you want an easy way to hook up an older stock Radio with no RCA's to an amp or if you just want better sound control plus I like the front AUX hookup. Not a parabolic EQ but feel like it was worth the $ since it drastically improved the musically clarity from my system. Will buy again for my next classic car radio upgrade.

By Kappa Krazy on June 2, 2016 Verified purchase

amazing eq !

This is one nice eq " it lets you custom shape the audio sound in your car or truck environment to make up for the lack of unfriendly acoustic conditions that we all face in a car stereo installation by giving you several bands of boost an fine tuning the highs an mids to your personal preferences also it has a MAIN volume knob to control the loudness of everything going out of the eq at a turn of the knob combined with the separate subwoofer boost variable output knob ( control) it really helps adjusting the low frequencies as to how much you want to drive the sub amp with " aux input on the front and rca Jack inputs rear even high inputs too " lights up a nice BLUE when you power it on via remote wire just by turning on the radio it's ready "" this is really a great eq "" buy it an enjoy it " you will definitely hear the difference in what your system can really sound like !

Clarion EQS755 - Car Equalizer (Replaces EQS746)

Brought great definition to the music great clarity it’s the best

A great basic EQ

I've had this EQ for about a month and am very satisfied with it. I'm using RCA's in. It's very quiet (did not add hiss to signal), has enough adjustments to shape sound where I needed it. Excellent value.
My only warning to buyers is that the blue led is very bright and I will ding a star for not being able to dim it. I would not want that shining in my face at night (if it was mounted high on the dash, for example). My solution was to mount this EQ behind a door to keep the cabin of the car dark at night.

Good buy

Bought this to replace head unit until I save to get one. I use the aux on the front works great. No more hissing that I used to get from stock HU. 2 things you might see as a con is the blue lights which I don't mind to much but some might and the knobs. The knobs do get hard to turn from time to time if your hands arnt dry.

Good eq you never go wrong whit clarion very upgrade to you audio

Elite Equalizer

This equalizer brought my stereo to life. I was a little concerned about losing my sub output on my Stereo but the sub output on this eq is way better.Not only does it perform great, it looks even better. The preout voltage increase is definitely noticeable. That 50hz knob is NO JOKE. My gains had to be turned down significantly, saving my amps from working harder. Very pleased.

Sounds great

This product really brought the music to life perfect adjustments it's a great piece for better music I would recommend this product if your a music lover

Excellent Equalizer!

This is my first EQ in car audio, I can't ever see not having one ever again. This is a must have piece of audio equipment for very good tuning abilities.

Great Value

This is a great product, it really enhance the quality of music. Very satisfied customer

Excellent option from Clarion!

I know there are car stereos that have 3 sets of preamp outputs and also have 7 band and up equalizers built in.

I purchased the Clarion equalizer because my stereo only has 1 set of preamp outputs and I have to go through 3 to 4 menu screens to get to fader or the equalizer that is built into my stereo.

The equalizer fit perfectly under my head unit in my '09 suburban with the double din dash kit for my "din and a half", if you will.

Having the equalizer just at my finger tips make it simpler and safer that going through 4 menu screens on the head unit.

This equalizer makes sound adjustments very easy!

Cons: not any

Pros: cheap price and will fit almost any vehicle I can think of.

DO YOU REALY ! KNOW CLARION ?

THANK YOU GUYS , FOR HAVEING THIS UNIT ! IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING . THAN IT"S NO DISCUSSION ! THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST OUT THERE ! . BUT YOU HAVE TO KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING ! THANK YOU SONIC ! FOR KNOWING ALL ABOUT CLARION !

Works great!

Works great. Hooked these up to some Polk db 6.5" speakers and made them come alive! Not a lot of settings on the amp to fiddle around with. Fit underneath the Passenger Seat of my Car (2006 Honda Civic Si Coupe) easily.

Not sure why, but Sonic Electronix recommends an 8ga installation kit, but the unit has a built-in wire coming out of the side that is only about 10 or 12ga. Had to step down to connect the wires.

By Corander on October 21, 2015 Verified purchase

Awesome Little Amp! Exceptional build quality.

Unboxing was a pleasure. Nice to see quality connectors and true 12 gauge wire for power and ground. The overall build quality appears exceptional and the amp seems really solid with some mass to it.

This little powerhouse stowed away under my dash just above the glove box. I could not attach the amp with screws, so I mounted it on five or six carefully placed blobs of clear silicone caulking (rated to 400 F). The amp has about 1/8" clearance between the bottom and mounting surface. I let the silicone dry for several hours and then gave it a 'wiggle' test. It's very secure and won't budge. There is a little access door (about 2" x 3") on the horizontal part my dash so that I can see and feel the bottom of the amplifier. I was concerned about restricted air flow under the dash and cooling. I have run this Class D amp at medium output for a couple of hours and it barely gets warm to the touch. Initially, I was considering installing a 60mm low noise computer fan to blow across the heat sink of the amp but it now seems unnecessary. Sound quality is completely amazing even though I have it powering 4 Cadence Momentum (inexpensive) 6.5" 3-way speakers in my doors. I have an 8" powered sub but without it running (I switched it so I could turn it on or off), the XC1410 and the 6.5" speakers produce some impressive bass themselves. Highs and mids are very clean and well defined. The head unit for my system is a Chinese NAV/DVD/3G unit with Android OS and I'm using low level RCA outputs for the Clarion and the subwoofer. The system is plenty loud and punchy at just under half volume.

Right around $90.00 for a true 4 x 50 watt CEA2006 compliant amp is, in my opinion, a steal, especially considering how easy it is to install due to its compact size. I think Clarion hit this one out of the park! The amp has enough features for me so I gave it 5 stars in the Features category but others might prefer more functionality such as the ability to bridge the amp or set the gain for example.

Thanks to Sonicelectronix for allowing me to upgrade my system for great sound quality at a super low price!

Impressive

I would definitely recommend this amp. It was small enough to be hidden in the center console of a Lincoln MKX with little difficulty. And it packs quite a punch.

Great value

Awesome size great power. Fit well under fairing on my motorcycle

Clarion amp XC1410

I give it a 3 on durability only because I have not had it very long and it is not in use yet.

clarion amp

This product was a great fit in my motorcycle fairing. They shipped fast and it was was a great addition for my stereo.

Not Bad

This amp made a very good improvement over the Kenwood radio amplifier. It does not have a gain control or xover.
It's powering Polk audio Dxi 6501 and could use a little more power.
Overall not bad for the price.

Awesome Compact Amp!!!

This is the second one of these amps that I have bought. I'm using both of them to push my Kicker 6x9s that I have on my Harley Roadking. A couple of years ago I replaced my windshield with a fairing with a radio and two 6x9s. I bought the first amp to push those then I replaced my side box lids with new ones with spaces for 6x9s. So I put two more on there and bought the second amp to push those. So all together I've got "4" 6x9 speakers being pushed by two of these Clarion amps. The amps push these speakers with no problem. I have after market pipes on my Harley and it's pretty loud. I can hear my music at 80mph with no problems cause these amps push my 6x9s with ease.

I highly recommend these amps to anyone who has a small amount of space to work with but want high quality sound.

These amps are worth every penny.

Very nice product.

I bought this amp to use on my Harley. I have an Ultra, and most of the MC-specific amplifiers out there are far more expensive and offer lesser performance. This amp, paired with Infinity speakers front and rear, is significantly louder and clearer that stock and even many of the amps others I know have installed.

It's super easy to install and VERY small and easy to locate. It may be the best amp out there for MC use. It remains to be seen of it can withstand the abuse of the road, but even then, I can buy three of these for the cost of many of the amps out there.

The biggest con, IMO, is that there is no variable gain. I have RCAs, and when switched the gain switch to "low," as suggested in the installation guide, I got a lot of noise. It was the typical hiss of bad gain staging. On "high," which is for speaker inputs, it works great and is mouse quiet. But, I do think I could get more headroom if there was something in the middle.

Overall, it is an excellent product, so far, and a great value.

I like my music loud.

I like my music loud. I have a factory Chevy head unit with custom speakers and I wanted just a little more......loud. The Clarion XC1410 did just that. It's LOUD and CLEAR.
I've only had it for a couple of weeks, but I'm very happy with it.
Pros : It's LOUD and CLEAR.
Wiring was not difficult.
It's a smaller amp, so concealing it in the dash was
fairly simple.
Cons : A touch to much bass for my taste, but I adjusted with
the controls on the factory unit.
To answer your question, yes I would recommend this unit. For the kick you get in 'Loud' it's well worth the price.
I Thank You. It's an Awesome amp.

Amazingly powerful Amp to give just right amount of power!

I combined this Amp with my Infinity Kappas on my 2002 Ford Ranger Edge Regular Cab and it was the perfect 4 channel Amp match. It gives my Inifinity Kappas just the right amount of power I want. I'm using my factory radio and I barely have to turn the volume knob to get crystal clear highs and lows coming from the speaker. A 10 gauge wiring kit is all you will need and it took exactly 100 ft. of speaker wire to run for door speakers.

Woke Up My Head Unit

I have a 22 watt RMS Head unit feeding speakers rated at 60 watts RMS. The sound was flat with weak bass response and it was obvious the speakers needed more power to work with. The Clarion XC1410 woke my system up. I can hear all instruments clearly now and the bass is strong and tight, not muddy like before.
The bad... it doesn't really start working until the volume is turned half way up so low listening levels sound like the amp isn't even installed. Fortunately I rarely listen to music at very low volumes. I noticed an ignition whining sound at engine idle but soon as I accelerate it goes away so I can live with it. Read the install instructions carefully. One wiring diagram does not show the blue wire which powers the unit on/off which was alarming but it is there.
All in all I'm satisfied but now that the price has been raised above $99 I would probably buy a better unit if done over.

compact

I like the fact that I was able to install in glovebox. Sounds very good on components front and rear. It did introduce alternator noise through the mids and highs though. I haven't been able to get rid of it. I would like to have seen shielded RCA cable connects coming off of the amp.

small but great sound

this amp is great if it is installed correctly. *tip* do not install this within three feet of the stereo head unit. The XC1410 does well powering my components and rear speakers. there is no gain knob on the amp but the instructions on the manual show how to set the sensitivity. The amp can get hot but can dish it out

Sounds great - when it works...

I purchased this amplifier for my motorcycle (2008 Electra Glide) based upon the reviews I had read about what a great little unit it was for the money. I'm a controls electrician by trade, so wiring this into my current setup was a breeze. Clarion did a terrific job of explaining how to do this, so even a novice should be able to connect with little trouble. The problem for me is the unit will not power on half the time, and it appears the internal switch that is made through the remote turn-on wire works when it wants to. It's a kick in the pants, especially when I have used solder and heat shrink on all connections, and now I will have to undo it all and go with a different amp. Shame...

Excellent little Amp.

This little Amp. might look like much but carries quite a punch. I purchased this amp for my 2016 Chevy Silverado to upgrade the not so good "non premium sound" and to my liking sounds 10 times better than the stock system it has. This unit is compapact it fit nicely under my glove box compartment. This the second unit I have purchased from Sonic Electronix and I am not disappointed. This amp is strongly recommended if you are looking to upgrade your stock audio for you car and not bust the bank.

Great Amp

I installed this amp into my vehicle with an aftermarket stereo. It was a great improvement. I then purchased another one of these amps and installed it in my wife car that has a factory stereo. Again it made a big difference. My opinion this amp gives your stereo a very nice bump in clarity and sound. It was relatively easy to install as long as you have some mechanical ability.

Amazing little Amp!

I ordered this Amp about two weeks ago and finally finished the install in my 2006 Trailblazer this afternoon. I replaced my non-Bose factory headunit with a Sony CDXGS500R single din unit. I also upgraded my factory rear speakers with some Infinity Reference 6032cf 6.5-Inch speakers that I was able to get locally on the cheap(sorry Sonic) :) for backfill.

I'm still using the factory front speakers until my JBL P660C's arrive on tuesday.

For its size, this amp rocks! The stereo separation and sonic clarity of this amp is amazing, and the mid-bass response is incredible as well. I can only imagine what this setup will sound like once I get the JBL's installed in the front.

Pro's - Easily installed in the dash space above the radio. The price point is wallet friendly without it being an issue on performance.

Con's - Other than punishing my factory front speakers, I can't think of any. :)

I highly recommend this amp if you're looking for an effective, yet low cost amplifier.
