Big Bang in a small package

This amp does all of 1200 watts plus. Very clear and very powerful. Love it

Powerful, Affordable, High Quality Amplifier

Great amp.. Small footprint. I have it pushing two NVX VSW104s and it is more than enough. TONS of power. I actually have the gain at less than 50%. The bass knob doesn't function like it should, so I installed a LC-1 and it's perfect! No complaints here. Tons of power and never runs hot. Actually pushes around 1500 watts if turned all the way up.

Small amp...huge power!

This amp is tiny, has big power wire terminals, and one ohm mono stable, producing well over 1200 rms all the time.
Doesn't even get hot. NVX is clean and a great value, very low price for big power. Amp is all metal, that speaks for itself regarding quality.
Ask for Wes at sonic electronix for any car audio needs, he's amazing

My new amp

i would highly recommend this amp to anybody! very small amp high quality and its true 1200rms!

Very Happy so Far

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.

Good clean amp, solid deal for the price.

I have had car audio as a hobby for 15 years now and am thoroughly satisfied with these amps and everything else I've acquired from NVX

Pros: Small size (seriously 1/4 the size of a lot of amps,) doesn't get very hot running @ 1 ohm pushing hard, it's quite efficient and not power hungry, good clean power!!!

Cons: The X-over and gain controls are meant to be turned about 2 full revolutions instead of 1/2 revolution. This wasn't a real problem but did catch me quite off guard. The power mounts are standard at 8 ga with an adapter for up to 1/0 ga. I happen to us 1/0 ga and found this to be a little troublesome and silly. Finally, the screw holes and all the speaker and power mounts adjustments must be made through holes in their handle design requiring you to use a rather slender screwdriver, which you may just not have handy at all.

I feel that for the price the pro's of this unit certainly outweigh it's slight drawbacks. I have 2 NVX VCW 12's being pushed by 2 of these amps. I am very pleased with this set as the speakers can hit a wide frequency range while, be pretty loud, and be very clean at the same time. I definitely recommend this amp. The quality isn't far from Sundown or Memphis but the price sure is!

awesome amp

This amp is amazing...POWERFUL.
I would recommend this amp to any one...i have it running 2 JL audio 15's and it hits so hard it blurs my vision while driving. ..its a bad ass amp, and sonic electronic is awesome

Great buy

The NVX 1200.1 does rated or above I have it running 2 sundown SA 8 d4 at 1ohm and it gives them all they want with plenty of head space. The amp gets warm but haven't had it shut down yet and I play it hard. I also have a NVX 800.4 running my highs and it also has very clean sound and so much more power than I'm using I would suggest these amps to anyone not wanting to spend alot but have good clean power.

Very good amp for the money

I have had this amp now for 6 months and it is an extremely clean and powerful amp. I have owned amps that I've paid double the price for, that were no where near the quality of this amp. Does not get very hot and hits my 12" Cerwin Vega Hard and Clean. Only issue is the connectors to the speaker are a little difficult to access.

great amp!

great thing about this amp is the 0 gauge adapter made my install alot easier!

great amp

I bought this amp because I liked the specs and it matched the 4 channel amp that I had previously bought. I installed this amp and wow, it puts out some serious power.

JAD 1200.1 in a boat

I bought the 1200.1 to match the other 4 NVX amps in my boat. I bought 2 800.4s to run on my compression horns and have been very impressed with the power out put, the low power consumption and the JAD lines compact dimensions.

Upon install I noticed the same quality that my other JAD amps have, I paired it up with two 10" L7s in a ported box. I hoped that the amp would run well @1 ohm into the ported box. I am under the impression it's underpowering them slightly which is what I feared. I still have to fully tune everything out and woofers arnt broken in as of yet.

For the cost chassis size and power consumption this amp is more than anyone could ask for..

I remain very happy with the quality and performance of the JAD amps in a marine environment. Like others have stated the bass knob does not work as it should.

All will be solved when I add my wet sounds eq

Would and have reccomended this product to others.

Beware of Bass Knob

I love the amplifier, I have it wired down to 1ohm for it's full 1,200 watts to power two Alpine SWR-12d4. I was surprised to see how small it really is and how good it looks compared to my old Brutus 1200.1D. I love how is made of metal all around not plastic, and that it is CEA-2006 compliant.

However, I can't say the same for the bass knob. The bass knob is made of plastic all around and seems cheap, to make things worst just like previous reviews, indeed the bass knob doesn't seem to work properly. I have worked with two of this amps, originally I bought one and the bass knob didn't work. It dove me crazy so I had it exchanged thinking it was broken, however, the replacement wasn't much different.
The first one I had the bass knob didn't do anything from volume 0-50% and anything from 50-100% of the volume was exactly the same (no difference in volume)...The second one, the current one I use, the bass knob doesn't play anything from volume 0-25% and anything from volume 25-100% is the same volume, just like the last amp there is no difference in volume sound. It feels more like a ON and OFF knob if anything. That was a huge turn off in my eyes almost made me return it back

Pros: CEA-2006 Complaint, looks good, sounds great, full metal.
Cons: Bass knob is garbage. (Huge turn off!!!)

Nvx jad1200.1

This little amp was a surprise. It performs very well. Doesnt over hit and im using it on 2 12's st 1ohm load to handle 600watts a piece. Outstanding buy

Not Powerful Enough

I bought this amp with a package deal including a 12 inch alpine sub. While the sub sounds amazing, this little amp was not powerful enough to push my one sub. Whenever I turn the radio up the bass would cut in and out, and the bass nob is pretty much useless, it only turns the bass on, but there is no difference in sound when turning the knob, I end up buying a Brutus 1100 watt amp, and the difference is like night and day. I do not recommend this product if you can spend a couple extra $100s you will be able to get a much better amp and I think it would be worth the investment.
pros: its small and pretty much fits anywhere in the car.
cons: not enough power, and bass knob is trash.
I did not have a good experience with this product and now I will stay away from this brand.

Amazing

Lol the shop I get my music installed in laughed when they saw it, then they installed everything and asked where did I get the equipment. They were in awe about the amp

TRUE RMS

I have just completed installation of this amp. So far, the power is surprising. I did not realize the amp was so small when i purchased it. In fact, I was very doubtful that it would perform well after seeing the size after unboxing. I use it to power two 12s. It delivers a very satisfying thump. I am genuinely amazed by the power. I also use a nvx capacitor. I am fast becoming a nvx fan. Great products in my experience.

NVX JAD1200.1

I have this amp pushing two 12' dual 2 ohm RockFord Fosgate P2s, and sounds great! Only problem I have is that it heats up pretty quick. Most likely bad wiring on my part. Besides that it's a great amp.

Fantastic amplifier

Fantastic amplifier for the price, true to it's specs, I run it at 1 ohm all day long and it doesn't over heat, I would highly recommend it.

great product!

I bought this cause my sub needed a more powerful amp. It made a huge difference in the sound. I recommended this amp to a few friends and they bought one too. The cons is that it is very power hungry and the remote knob is usless. Other than that it is a great amp, great power for the price. I would buy it again and again!

NVX Amp 1200 watt

Don't know much about amps, but this one sure does the job! Amp volume control works but don't see much difference when put past half way up to max volume.
I would recommend this amp

Sonic Electronix knows their stuff

Great Amp

I bought this amp to power my 2 l5 12's and it pushes them extremely well. The small size makes it easy to mount and it's a very simple clean looking amp. All in all great amp for the price

Big Power less space

have this running one sxx10d2 in a 34hz box and it pushes hard. Gets slightly warm but not too hot and hasnt cut out after hours of using. great amp solid build and small. what more to ask for

GET IT!!!!!!!

NVX is my new favorite company their products are very well built at a fantastic price. This amp is as clean as can be and has every feature needed it is simple as that. I have it with the NVX VCW122 at 1Ohm and it gets maybe lukewarm LOVE IT!! I do have one complaint however I hate how a 1200 Watt amp comes with 8 AWG pawer and ground, and while they do include an adapter for 0 AWG the screws on mine were drilled wrong or something, but i just re drilled the threads and they worked fine. I would really like to see the next gen not need an adapter for 0 AWG or 4 AWG

Jad1200.1 best in class

pros: small form factor, produces loud clean bass, 24db/oct crossovers (hpf lpf) comes with 3 replacement fuses, speaker terminals and power ground remote inputs are all Philips screws. includes adapter to work with 1/0 gauge wire. gets warm but not hot. 111db s/n ratio.

cons: none

Great amp

I got this amp a while back with 2 of the new 12" type-R and it beats them hard. Have it wired down to 2 ohm and everything in my car shakes. I'll be getting another one soon so I can run 1 to each sub for some crazy bass. Good amp never overheats wen after hours of torture (:

My opinion

I bought the nvx sound deadner,AWESOME! Ive heard nvx amps arent too bad and are a huge "sleeper" for their price. I want to see nvx products bench tested because im very interested in this brand now. Everything ive seen from this company is well priced and performed my expectations just because of price. I think nvx will do good in the future we will see? I cant say anything about durability though but il giver a 5 because people i know havent complained yet so thats a good thing!

Great amp

This amp packs some power. Great price and it is so small, I can mount it anywhere.

Awesome little amp!!!

I have gone through 4 different amps trying to find the right one to power my 2 Kicker 10" L-7's. They were in my other car on a JL 1000/1, but I upgraded to a DD sub for the JL, and moved the L-7's to my daily driver. The most recent amp that I had hooked up to them was an MB Quart ONX1.1500D, which was a good amp for the money, but after getting used to the JL, I pushed the MB Quart too hard and fried it (thank GOD for Square trade warranties--they really do pay off). I ordered a Hifonics BRZ1200.1D, and while I was waiting on that, The guys at Sonic suggested that I try out this new little amp they were now selling. They said that it was a much better amp than the MUCH bigger Hifonics, and I must admit, I was very skeptical. But, they were right!! It's going on 2 months now and this thing is making my L-7's POUND, while the amp barely gets warm !!! It's not a JL 1000/1, but for 1/4 the price and 1/3 the size, it beats the hell out of darn near anything in it's price range!! Supposedly, this amp is even better than the Rockford Fosgate Prime Series, which I also considered. Sonic's customer service is great and their employees know their products and will give it to you straight about what's what, even if it goes against your core beliefs. Keep up the good work!!

Impressed already

Ordering with Sonic was amazing, easy and fast. I'm happy with the footprint and I cannot wait to install this in my ride.

Great amp!

I have this running two rockford fosgate p3sd4s at 2 ohms in my 4door 2500 hd silverado and they might not flex the windows but they sound great and hit hard when you want them too very nice amp looks good good clean bass got a good deal on it too ill never buy any where elts sonic is the best any body wondering just buy it you won't regret it

Good things...

...come in small packages. And this, is small, and powerful. The included adapter for 0/1 AWG is perfect and was welcomed for my install. This amp has the power to shake my car like never before and provides the safety you need with a Sub-Sonic filter. Definitely a winning product from NVX

The Best, Pound for Pound!

In the same ballpark as this little guy, nothing touches it. The AD-1 Test run is legit! I'm running this at 2ohms, and I am AT LEAST grtti getting the 800w at 14v. Compared to amps of the past, this thing is a bit unimpressive out of the box because of its tiny footprint. Once plugged up it leaves Little Doubt of its performance! It gets warm, but my hand doesn't get an NVX logo branded if I touch it. Between the beating I'm giving it and the 95+ degree summer we're having, this guy is a Trooper! I chose this over the Rockford Fosgate R1200, and I dont regret it one bit. Only complaint is the bass knob, it's not as sensitive as I'd like, but once you find the sweet spot it works as advertised. It may just be dummy proof, which is why there's no "bass boost" knob - A Good Thing!
These guys got it right!

Good amp

Puts out more than rated doesn't go into protect, gets warm after a long trip but cools off very rapidly.

Great amp

I have been using this amp for my 12 inch sub and it has worked flawlessly ! I have it mounted under my back seat for a couple months now and it has performed perfectly

jad1200.1

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

Excellent Sub Amp

This replaced my stolen Soundstream Reference 1000sx from the late 90s. So far its been good, I also purchased a RE Audio SEX12D2 and it sounds great. Dont know why people say the new re subs are no good. I've had a system in all my cars since 1997. Used all the top brands and i gotta say this amp is great. 1000 watt amps in the late 90s were usually in the $1000 range. Great deal too, in 15 years of being amazed at car stereo ive had from the beginning a 50 sanyo amp. upgraded to a hitron whitney, upgraded to LA Sound Malibu, then soundstream reference 200, Lanzar opti50. then US Amps usa150. then US Amps usa200, Kicker Si200, ppi art series300, ppi pc275, mtx 2150x rockford 500m.1,soundstream reference 1000sx and now this. its far the most powerful amp Ive had to date. Ive stopped purchasing car audio in 2002 since i had everything, but in the past 10 years prices have sure dropped a lot. Redid my entire system with current gear and the passion still lives on.

Good product

The nvx jad1200.1 is an awesome amp and really worth the money for the amount of power

Great Buy!

I bought one of these because I saw they made/ exceeded their power rating. I was more than pleased with it, so I bought another. Now I have two of these on two NVX 15's and I am very satisfied. The only issues I have with them is that they are not strappable and the bass knob only works about half way down. Other than that it is a great buy!

Works Flawlessly

I am very happy with the amp powering 2 Alpine Type r 12". The amp pushes them enough to be clear and thump. Super simple to wire, love the remote amp level. Use it all the time, when I have people that don't like big bass. It is simple to just turn it down.

Also, contacted the company for advice. They answered me back right away, with a correct answer and a diagram. Great customer support.

AMAZING!!!

Great AMP, doesn't get HOT!!! Pure power ....... and i'm impressed (no bass boost on amp) shows intelligence!!! don't hesitate is all i have to say! underrated AMP!

Outstanding for the money

Owned this amp for 6 months and absolutely no issues. Amp stays warm, not hot. Hits my Cerwin Vega 12" HARD and clear. I will be purchasing another one for my other truck. Only issue is getting 8 AWG speaker wire to connect without using an end.

TRUE WATTAGE WITH SQ!

Small footprint big sound and great looks. NVX has KILLED the competition. This amp barely gets warm and I run it at 1ohm on two NSW124V2 subs and I couldn't be happier. It's in a TITAN w not a lot of space and I am so happy! Sonic is the best place for electronics and they have always taken great care of me.

Small, with amazing power.

The NVX JAD1200.1 is an amazing amp. It is smaller than i thought, but with great power. It is being used to power 2 12s and the bass response is absolutely fantastic.

Best Purchase

I highly recommend this amp, it makes my subs work to their full potential...I had it installed by a pro on my 2013 Nissan Maxima and he was amazed, bass is clean will continue to buy all their products Can't wait to try out their other products. And the bass knob works really good too..

info

great amp. has the power to drive your subs with real authority and control. bass knob is so so. i never use it so i cant say much about it. the size and sound is great. if you set your gain correct it runs cooler the louder you play your music very nice. does put out more than its rated for

NVX JAD1200.1

I've had this amp for about a year now and have it wired to 1 ohms to an Alpine SWR-12D2. This amp is pretty small, but it definitely puts out at least 1200 watts RMS. This amp has never went into protect, clipped, or done anything wrong. It's dependable, affordable, and puts out some serious power for it's size. It is also CEA-2006 compliant which means it's been proven to put out at least what it says. The only thing is that this amp gets pretty hot. I've never played it for hours on end, but regardless the sides and top get pretty warm. It has never went into protect though, so I wouldn't worry about it. My cars also an oven during the summer. Also, the bass remote doesn't work the greatest. It is more like an on/off switch. But I don't really care because I can tune it through my headunit. Overall I am very pleased with this amp as with all NVX products. They're one of my favorite brands. I only wish they would make a huge monoblock, like 2400 watts RMS. Now that would be awesome!

Great amp, can't beat for the price

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.

cant wait!!

just bought this amp, recieved it in 2 days!!! All I have heard from the staff at sonicelectronix is great things about this amp, nvx is always a choice of mine and will be buying their new sub they are releasing soon to go with this amp.

2nd time around

The amp I received is very solid, but, the first one I received stopped working. The one I have now is very impressive. It was like an upgrade of the original. I'll still go to sonic electronix for all the great prices and products.

awesome amp

I have this amp hooked up to 2 12" alpine type r wired to 1 ohm and it makes em hit hard. i also have the sound dampening trunk kit and it is really good product thick and easy to install

Just got this and the 4-channel.

Just got this to power 2 Kicker L7 10" and I'm very happy with the bass. Amp is really small and it came in handy as I saved some space compared to previous one since I put it under my seat. I got 25% off too so I can't complain. Small complaint is the LED is a little bright for my taste.

great amp!!

I buy this amp to push 3-10" kicker cvrs dual 2 ohm so I wire them at 1.5ohm and it does pretty good now I need a cap cause if I go over 30 in the stereo vol I can heard the weeknes on the bass! Plus my lights dim bad over all great amp!

Great

my friend has this amp and its powerful a great buy for a low price

Love this amp

This amp is hooked to two nvx vcw dual 4s in a 1998 dodge ram ext cab fox acoustic box and the sound quality of the amp n box is already noticeably better n louder than my Soundqubed Q750.1 obviously less power. My box has alot to do with SQ as well chambers r .74 cu ft stuffed with 3/4 lb of pillfill and I siliconed around the subwoofer gasket to the box and there is NO leaks. Tuned at 35hz. The amp is small just bigger than a license plate n puts out big power on only 4awg soundqubed wire. Wht I love is how efficient it is. gives off great bass n sound while my lights NEVER dim only have big 3 on stock alt. I recommend this amp over most otheres for the price. the technology and underrated power is worth every penny and I dont plan on parting with it because it took me 3 yrs to finally buy this system. Cost about $1200

decent amp

The amp is decent. To tune it your pretty much guessing. Looks good and sounds clear though. It gets a little warm but I have it pushing to digital design woofers which like power. I went from a hifonics 1200 to this and the difference was night and day. The nvx seems to almost double the power output. For the price I'd recommend it. Caint say its the best. But if you want a strong reliable little amp this is the one to get!

JAD1200.1

Strong little amp, uses 4 gauge easy to install I have it pushing 2 Rockford Fosgate P3's at 1 ohm and it handles like a champ. Doesn't get hot makes my little subs flex !

Very powerful, but bass knob sucks.

The amp is very small but very powerful. 1200 watts rms is definitely an understatement. The only concern is the bass knob. It shows to be adjustable, but its more like 0%, 15%, and 100%. I've tried a few different bass knobs on this amp and they all do the same thing so i assume its something with the amp. I would recommend this amp but i'd also highly recommend getting a good in-line bass knob for it.

By Nathan on January 23, 2018 Verified purchase

Great Value for any price!

I have used this amp for months and there has been nothing it won't do. I use it with 2 Kicker Comp R 10's and there is still more power to be had.

NVX JAD1200.1

Great amp. Produces at least 1200 watts or better. Paired it up with a sundown SA-15.

Great brand, great amp!

NVX always makes great products and this amp is nothing shy of amazing!

Good

The build quality is good, love the adapters for the bigger gauge power wires. Good amp overall for the price

Great bang for buck amp. Awesome customer service

I'm extremely impressed with the power of this amp especially at its price and size. I have it driving 2 RE Audio SEX2d4's and I absolutely love it. Their customer service is phenomenal. Apparently it's a known issue that the bass knob is flawed. I emailed NVX explaining the problem I was having with it and they offered to send me their XBRC universal bass knob free of charge no questions asked. Not even a proof of purchase. My emails were responded to quickly and I received a sales order of $0 for the universal bass knob almost immediately after sending them my address.

NICE Product

Divinity recommended to buy it!!
Great sounds!!!!
I love how it sounds in my crown victoria police interceptor

By Arnulfo on April 3, 2017 Verified purchase

Great value for TRUE power

I highly recommend this amp to anyone looking for some serious power. Ran this thing at 1ohm all summer at some NADBL shoes and scored pretty well and pulled in a couple 1st place trophies and a handful of 2nd places.

Pros:
true RMS power
Small chassis for diverse positioning
1ohm stable
Don't advise it but can be 1/2ohm stable w correct power

Cons:
NONE
Maybe the lack of functions n togglestuff. Ie.No master/slave, phase etc.

Awesome amplifier!

Great product I recommend this car audio amplifier to anybody who wants some big bass at a very affordable budget! I have 2 dual 2 ohm SPL subwoofers wired down to a 0.5 ohm load parallel using true ofc nvx power and ground with an nvx cap and the amp does not even get warm and slams hard thanks again Sonic Electronics for another good buy!

By Jason williamson on May 19, 2016 Verified purchase

Pretty kickass amp, little size...huge power

I like the output power pf this amp. I have it pushing two NVX vcw104's. I seem to have plenty of power and room for advancement. Although I'm not entirely satisfied with the craftsmanship of this thing. I can manage to "fiddle around with" the knobs, all except the Subsonic filter. it turns and turns and turns. Although It seems to be set right and not be pushing out any super LOOOOWS I'm just entirely happy w something on here not working. and the fact that it would be a 2 week or more turn around for me to get a replacement I am just sucking it up and keeping it. I have a 2 year warranty so if it truly becomes an issue I expect full return access, as I purchased this with the wiring kit for THAT exact reason. And everyone is complaining about the bass knob but to be honest I could care less of that.

Great amp!

Love this amp, puts out all the power is says it does and more. The only thing i would like better is if it had the LPF and Subsonic Filter knobs labled better with numbers so you knew exactly where they were set.

Almost unbeatable for the price point.

Uses the same circuit board as the Precision P1000.1 and other amps around the same price, if you compare the internals though you will see that NVX uses beefier/higher quality components.
You can see videos of people testing amps with an "amp dyno" to see if they put out the watts they claim, this amp has been shown to put out up to 1350 WATTS! (If your battery/alternator can keep up.)

I have this amp running at 1ohm on 2 12s and it f**king bangs, only small complaint is that because of its small size it can get pretty hot running at full tilt for a while. Never had it go into protect or get to hot to touch though.

By stephen on August 16, 2017 Verified purchase

Great product

I highly recommend this amplifier. I chose this one because it's CEA certified and puts out real power. It's a medium size amp and it feels like it's built to last. And the price is just right. I give it a thumbs up :)

NVX JAD1200.1(Best amp I've ever had)

Love this amp... Hits hard, small size, outstanding performance... Worth the price

Very impressed.

After taking a day to pre-wire my car with the 1/0 Guage kit I finally got everything where it needed to be. I had a left over 1 farad cap that went into the install as well.(gonna have to up grade my alternator) I did have issues running such a big wire through my car but it was recommended and worth it.
The big amp is really about the size of a license plate. connects are ok but they work. btw, you gotta punch a pretty big hole to ground 1/0 gauge. Ok onto the real sh*t..my car actually breathes now. The lows are strong and focused, can't see through any of the mirrors and my sunroof is gonna crack soon. In other words...major bump. I'm a Rockford Fosgate fan but with a kid in college now, my budget on this project was limited. Punch has some competition now though. The amp does get hot after an hour beating the sh*t out of my 3 10's wired to 1.3 ohms. It did go into thermal protection mode but after a few minutes it woke up. Also, due to tight spaces it's right next to its brother the 800.4 so I'll be adding fans really soon. After a bit more tuning, adjustments and tweaking I hv found a sound that will rival many high end systems. Sq and spl I'm very impressed and satisfied.
cons...nothing that wouldn't raise the price like cooling fans,bass booster. The led for power is really bright. It and the logo being lit is unnecessary. Not into aesthetics for something that's tucked behind my rear seat. but for the price and the sound is can deal with it. I'm old school and I believe in value. Sometimes you get more than you pay for. And 2yr warranty

Nvx

Nice amp hits good for a 1200w amp , perfect for 2 10" L7's

Very underrated!!!!

I had never heard of NVX before but this amp is very very underrated like Kicker and Rockford amps. The amp 683 @4ohm, 1123 @ 2ohm, and 1400 @1ohm. You guys don't know what you are missing!! I have this paired with 2 NVX dual 4 600rms 12's @ 2ohms. Omg!!! Pick this amp up.

Awesome amplifier!

Great product I recommend this car audio amplifier to anybody who wants some big bass at a very affordable budget! I have 2 dual 2 ohm SPL subwoofers wired down to a 0.5 ohm load parallel using true ofc nvx power and ground with an nvx cap and the amp does not even get warm and slams hard thanks again Sonic Electronics for another good buy!

This amp is a beast!

Just buy it you won't regret it. I did a lot of research before I made my purchase and actually I was so impressed with the quality of the nvx amp kit I received I just had to try an amp. I had it professionally installed and the installers never heard of this brand but they were blown away. I have this pushing a Sundown audio sa 8v3 and it sounds great, it has tons of power and it's clean power. Sonic electronix has been great. I had to return a couple items and the return process was quick and easy. I'll definitely use them again.

NVX JAD1200.1

This amp is AMAZING and worth every penny! The power output of this amp is tremendous and the size is small enough to almost fit anywhere! I keep talking about the price of NVX products compared to how much value they actually have, but it's true. This amp should be worth $400 or more. The only thing NVX I didn't like was the EQ. I had two of them burn up on me. I don't know about some of the peripheral items, but NVX makes tremendous subs and amplifiers and you CAN'T GO WRONG! B.U.Y. T.H.I.S. A.M.P.

Not impressed

Have four kicker 10’s on this amp 4ohms it pushes them pretty good sounds good but you can tell the amp not full 1200watts

Great value

I would recommend this amp to any one who wants a great amp for the money
I have this amp hooked up to 2 12 inch massive audio gtx122's and it sounds clear and great as well

Can't go wrong

Awesome amp. Small footprint will allow the amp to be mounted anywhere. 0ga adapters are a nice touch. Bass knob is nice. It has notches as you turn so you can feel how far you move it. Now some may say but why does it cost a little more than other amps in it's power range...because this amp actually produces that power...

Great value

Small and compact but pushes a lot of power. Nice set up and looks great. Currently powering 2 NVX VCW124's @ 1ohm. Amp gets warm but not hot. Nice!!

Nice power, nice size, good value

Relatively small for power output. I have it pushing 2 kicker slim 10's. I like the features availible on the amp and the lighted insignia is a nice touch. I have only had this amp for about a month so we will see on the durability. I would recommend this amp when size is an issue.

Great Amp

Definitely puts out the stated power. Have it at 4 ohms now but eventually will have it at 1 ohm and expect great things. Hardly gets warm at all. No complaints.

Great buy Low Price

I highly recommend this amp , it small but it's a beast , stays cool running at 1 ohm.
I thought it was a big amp but when I received it , it was smaller that my 4 channel Hertz amp.

Great Amp !! I bought it after reading several reviews, and it really met the 5 star expectation the reviews had given it.

I had problems with the amp, at first. Customer service is second to none. When I contacted them, I received emails and phone calls from managers and the President of Sonix himself.
HOW AWESOME IS THAT !!!!

Great amp! Crappy bass knob.

I bought this amp a month ago and it sounds great! I would place it as an intermediate amplifier. Not the best, but not the worst. I also own an old Directed D1200 class D monoblock (2005 model - 11 year old amp) that makes this amp sound weak. The amp has a really nice punch to it for hard hitting songs. It can also sustain notes very well, but not in the lower frequencies. Subsonic only goes to 20Hz, but doesnt seem to hit 30Hz and below very easily. It doesn't get very warm at all. Played it for an hour straight, set the gains with a DMM using the math, turned up just below the clipping point, and it felt warmish, BUT definitely not hot! The only complaint I have, THE BASS KNOB....... The bass knob sucks. I installed the amp, 16 gauge signal wire, 4 gauge power and ground cables, grounded to the frame, Krystal RCAs, Kicker 10 gauge speaker wires, gold plated speaker twist lock terminals, and yet i have about 1/16th of adjustment out of the knob. I ordered another bass knob, same type from here made for this amp, and the same problem. The new bass knob even came with another set of wires for it. I tried every combo with the old and the new knob... no luck. Lost a star because of that. Great quality amp, crappy quality bass knob.

great amp for a great price

i have owned a lot of amps over the years and this one is perfect. great price and delivers all of the power and then some that it states. cant even turn the gains all the way up.

Nvx Jad1200.1

Highly recommend, no problem with voltage drops from my veichle, puts out lots of power for the size, either its the hot weather or itself but does get a little warm but all in all 100 percent happy with purchase

Great amp!

I love this little amp. I am replacing a Rockford BD1000 that I had for 10 years. Not really into car stereo like I used to so I was looking for a budget amp. There is nothing cheap about this amp except the price. I have it pushing a pair of 10's at 600rms each wired at 1 ohm and this thing is a beast. First NVX purchase but I will definitely consider this brand for other equipment in the future. Like everyone else said the bass knob is a little hard to get used to but I have a 4 year old so I like being able to turn it all the way down and have no sub output.

good amp

I'm loving this amp real powerful to. I will tell everybody to buy this amp. It's do the job that u want to Hear n feel.

Powerful!

These amps deadly! Small footprint, build solid, more then 1200 watts rms at 1 ohm. Love that it comes with the 1/0 gauge adapter, very helpful for running larger gauge wire. Only negative would be the bass remote, seems very 'cheap' compared to the amp. I don't use it so it doesn't bother me.

The first one I order was actually defective (LPF dial just kept spinning, had no stopping point, LPF did work though) I was just going to deal with it, as I'm in Canada and shipping it back and forth would be expensive for me. I did call NVX and let them know about the issue and instead of them saying "okay" or "What do you want us to do about it" they were extremely helpful. They worked with Sonicelectronix and were able to ship me a new amp that day! They also covered the cost to ship back the defective amp. I absolutely love the NVX products. Highly recommend any of their products.

Its Ok

So yeah i had this amp for about 5 months before it randomly started going into protect on me every single time i turned my car on... I returned it, and am currently waiting for my new one to come in. Before this all happened, it was a DECENTLY loud LITTLE amp, very small footprint and light weight. Its running my 2 sundown sa 12s, subs stay very cool while the amp does as well unless im slamming her for about an hour and a half then shed get warm. I really cant complain about the performance and sound for the price. If you want louder it would take probably double the cost even triple the cost, to in fact be louder. Hopefully my new one doesnt randomly stop playing on me like this one did...

can't contest class d for efficiency

This amp does well, runs cool and is cheap. I highly recommend it. It pushes my 10s to there max and makes them whale. I love it. Doing my research on reviews really paid off.

Great value, Powerful!

This amp is super small which makes install options a breeze. It's power is amazing for it's size. I had limited space and was able to install this amp plus the jad 800.4 and a capacitor behind the rear seat of my 2002 Chevy Silverado 1500. There are no cons.

By Ricky L on January 17, 2018 Verified purchase

Great price to performance buy

I love this amp small but powerful it needed a external fan mod to get the most performance out of it without over heating it, But since the fan install it's all cool and powerful. I look forward to buying a second one in the future. NVX for the win!

Best amp I've owned!!!

This amp is an amazing piece of equipment!!! NVX has hit a slam dunk with their jad series amps especially the jad1200.1 this amp is amazing and for the power it puts out the footprint is awesome for small spaces I've had amps that only did a few hundred rms as big as this 1 amd this little powerhouse puts out every bit of rated power and then some. I run min at 1ohm and it slams my nvx vxw152 sub hard and with the gain maybe only at maybe 70%. It will get a little warm at 1ohm but never hot what so ever. It's probably 1 of the most efficient amps in its class and the price is very fair...I'm so convinced I'm about to place an order for another to push a 2nd vcw. I have absolutely 0 regrets buying this amp and any other nvx product for that matter. Not to mention sonics customer service is on point. If your having trouble pulling the trigger just do it I can promise there will be no regret or buyers remorse on this 1. My only con I can find is the bass knob that comes with it didn't really work me and just turned it on amd off but I had spares so not a big deal but the amp itself is grade A stuff and will give u every bit of 1200rms at 1ohm probably closer to 1400 to be honest it's a serious amp everything on it is top notch and no cheap little parts like the cheap amps it's all aluminum and no plastic and when u hold it u can tell it's very well built unlike alot of others out there!!! Thanks so much sonic yet again another amazing product at an amazing price!!!! Keep it up and keep the youtube vids coming!!!!

Good amp

i Using this amp with a NVX VCW15. Its loud and clean no complains. My set up is JAD1200.1, JAD800/4. Boston pro F&R alpine 303media player, clarion EQ, audio control epicentro,. On a 08 RAM built box under seat for 15" It is very clean and loud. Guys this 2 amps are clean and have power. Do not think and get them.

Small but good

Went to this amp to put under seat. Pushes 2 RE1O's with ease. Ground shaker ported box at 34 htz, best bass I've built to date. Puts out rated power at 1 ohm. Great for $ / watt.

Awesome amp

I was pushing 2 re audio 10's (600W each) with a cheap 2000W amp and they sounded like crap and had lots of distortion. I bought this 1200.1 NVX amp and they hit twice as hard and there is no distortion. All around clean sounding bass. It's a small simple amp that works very well compared to spending $500-$1000 for a big name brand.

amp power

as many will tell you and from the amp dyno this thing does major power for such a small foot print. i hope nvx keeps it up

ive used nvx amps,x series,and the deadner and ive been happy with all of it

Not impressed so far. Blown fuses out of box!

I purchased this amp because I needed a 1 ohm stable amp. I plan on going from 2 woofers to 4. During my out of box inspection noticed all fuses blown. I replaced them with the ones that came with the amp. It still seems to work but output seem very low from my previous amp. My other amp was a kicker amp that puts out 1000rms at 2 ohms. This amp puts out 800 @ 2 ohms. I understand its a 200 watt difference, but the kicker amp output was twice as loud of the NVX. My other subs should be installed in a few days so I'll see what the output is like @ 1 ohm. If its still poor...... refund!

Tip my hat to this amp

I give this amp an outstanding 5 stars. I came from a hifonics brx 2200 to this and wow what a difference in quality and real power and sound. This amp does put out very clean signal and no distortion with plenty of head room. I have this to a cvx 15 and man I never thought a kicker can hit very hard and clean this amps provides that and what's a big plus is that it's able to accept a 0 awg wire with the included adapter. Just incredible.

Nope. No way 2400 max.

Huh? 2400 wts my ass. I dont care what the meters say. The sound just isn't there. You'll know it when you hear it and this little amp is incapable of putting out that kinda sound. I've had way better 1000 watt amps. Keep it. It was disappointing IMO.

By Troy on March 26, 2018 Verified purchase

Omfg! Best amp I've ever owned

You think the RMS watts is too good to be true well I'm here to tell you it's not this amplifier puts out everything you can ask from it and then some I haven't had it on a Dyno but I can almost guarantee it does rated power and much more. If you're looking for a small footprint that won't put a heavy load on your vehicle with a stock alternator look no further this is the amplifier for you, And you cannot beat it for the price the performance is just mind-blowing. NVX FTW!!!!!

By Joker on November 21, 2017 Verified purchase

Little beast

This Amplifier is very small and thin but it puts out alot of power, i saw a video of this amp getting dyno'd and it put our way past 1200 watts. Was very impressed by the power and sound quality for such a tiny amp, just need to make sure you're giving it alot of power. It does get warm and after hours of straight use even hot. Its pushing a Fi Q 15" dual 2 wired down to 1 ohm.

Awesome

A friend told me about this amplifier, thought it would be ok but I’m impressed on how great it sounds. I would recommend people to buy this product and don’t throw their money on other unknown brands. Great job

Badass lil amp!

What can I say? At first I was pretty apprehensive about trying this brand amp. But after talking to the folks at SE about it I gave it a try. All I could say was WOW! I couldn't believe the power this little amp produced! It's been YEARS! and last I tried it it still worked great! It's a shame they discontinued this model I would definitely love to have a second as a spare!
