Customer Ratings & Reviews

Knocks your socks off

This amp has plenty of power. I don't know how much headroom I have to spare because I am not going any louder - no way!

I listen to classic rock (Rush, etc.), and it is nice and clean... and this is with keeping my factory el cheapo head unit in my Hyundai.

I have some hiss when sound is off, and it could be I have the gains set too high. I will be checking that later (because it got too late tonight, and we needed to finish for the day), but I feel quite sure there is no fault with the amp. I am giving this great rating based on having listened for 1 hour so far. As long as the amp holds up for the long haul, it is a great amp for a great price.

John Islas with SonicElectronix was my sales rep, and he was good to work with.

Great fit behind 2013 Frontier Crew Cab Rear Seat

This amp was perfect solution for the limited hidden space in my Crew Cab Frontier. Installed behind rear seat. Powers 4 Image Dynamics 6.5" door speakers + Image Dynamics 10" Subwoofer. Sounds great and performs great. Haven't noticed any issues such as heat. I would recommend and have recommended.

Great value!!

I purchased this amp in March '14, but waited a few months before reviewing. This is an excellent amp without question. I have had zero issues with it since day 1. It does not heat up the way my old Alpine amp did, and will only get warm to the touch after hours of use. Highly recommended.

NVX 5 channels amplifier

This is my first car amplifier. It been a great suggestion from a representative seller from Sonic electr. Today I can listeng to my music from a great amplifier that can keep a lot power. I been using it since 3 moths and now I'm more familiar with the ampli and also with my new radio (also get it at Sonic). I have the best of 2 worlds. Finally, I great thanks to Michael, a seller that answer to all my question and gave the best advises to a bigginner as me. I got from Sonic my Pioneer DEH-X9500BHS, my Polk MM speakers and my NVX Amplifier. All that toghter makes a great combination. I went with Sonic because of a such great service. For sure I'll come back in the futur. Carlos from Montreal

Great deal!

This amp is pretty awesome so far. I wanted to have a so gel amp that I could tuck under my passenger seat on my 2011 Mazdaspeed 3. It fits perfectly, teamed up with the nvx 4 gauge amp kit and the the nvx 1 farad cap. I get minimal power drop at idle and nothing when driving. No lights dimming, nothing. But my sub is numbing and speakers are loud and clear. Love it so far. Highly reccomended.

Nice amplifier, you should have one

Very nice amplifier, crystal clear sound transformation and small size which could fit in your car anywhere, and light weight to save some gas.

Installation pretty easy, but need to buy other accessories to install, all the lines are pretty, but shipment takes some time. If they are in a whole package will be easy and save customer some time. Thanks.

Small foot print, lots of output , runs cool !

I purchased this amp cause of the great reviews it has. It has a really small foot print. the power ratings where in the range I was after. I play my music pretty loud and have never had any concerns of over heating. The amp runs warm at times The output is very clean and smooth sounding. The only thing I wished it had was maybe a bass boost around45Hz for the front and rear channels. The subwoofer does have bass boost option. I have not tried to use it. I am using the Rockford fasgate 360.3 so I run the the amp with all eq's and boost off. But overall this is a great amp. I have been very impressed by NVX so far.

I was skeptical at first but very glad I bought this amp.

I was looking for a smaller amp to replace my two larger amps that I had from a previous install.
I had use the Massive NX5 last year and had the over heating issue every time I was in my car.
The NVX has yet to have any problems. It gets warm to the touch after a 45 min drive but not flaming hot like some other amps.
I like to play my music loud so I was worried that the 70 watts RMS its rated for would disappoint. I had the exact opposite experience! This amp pushes my CDT speakers with ease.

Also note that you can run your system active just by using the built in crossovers.

Worth every penny

I have all JL in my truck from amps to speakers so i know what good sounds like,i was looking for something cheap that sounds good for my daughters car without breaking the bank,This amp is awesome its clear and powerful it sounds as good as my $800 jl amp,,i would buy this amp a 100 times over,,you will not be dissapointed..Its pushing 4 ,,,
6 3/4 jl and 2 10inch subs,,it sounds unreal sooooooo clean..

Great amp for a great price

This is a very good amp for the price. Sound stage is clear and the bass seems very well controlled.

Best Bang For your Buck!

I was a bit reluctant at first since I never heard of NVX but the Rep at Sonic highly recommended it stating that it was a great product with awesome Sound Quality.

He was right!

To take it further I decided to contact NVX in California and spoke to Richard. I picked his brain regarding the JAD900.5 and he went into all of the details and completely addressed all of my questions and concerns.

He also took the time to advise on the proper setting up and matching the unit to other equipment.

I received it and installed it immediately, tweaked the tuning to it's best and all I can say is WOW!!!!! 279? This amp is "EXTEMELY" well worth every penny and then some!!!!

I have had top brand products before and to be honest they are just extremely Over Rated and way over Priced!

Specs Match top line.

It hits very hard and I don't have the Gain Levels turned all the way up.
It doesn't heat up after being driven for hours straight non stop .

Not a fancy setup Kenwood KDC-X895 Head Unit, Infinity Kappa 692.9i using 6x9 Speaker Baffles filled with sound insulation on Rear Deck Infinity Kappa 6x8 in Doors, MTX Thunder 12" 8000 in 1.7 Non Ported Box. 4 Gauge Power and Ground wires + Monster Speaker wire.

Pro's: Small Size, Doesn't heat up, Clean Looking Unit. Clean Sound Quality I would highly recommend this to anyone!

CONS: None

Thanks Richard and Thank you Sonic Electronix!!!

Amazing Quality!

This 5 channel is just Amazing in every aspect! I have it in my 2000 mustang i just put a new components and 6x8's with 2 boston acoustics 12's in a 4.1cube box @34hz and this amp makes everything sound so clear clean and crisp i was so amazed. i extremely recommend this product worth every penny thats for sure!

Great Amp!!!

I purchased this amp to replace a dead channel FLI amp that was DOA and no longer available from sonic. Kinda got pushed into a more expensive amp but they were right. I am pushing 2 pairs of polk db components and a 8" JBL gto sub. WOW!!! Great mid sonic lows and very clean. I have pushed this amp for an hour at moderate to high levels and not even warm to the touch. Not a hint of clip at near unlistenable levels. Best 5 channel amp out there that i have ever heard. I am now a loyal NVX Customer! Thanks Sonic.

Very good 5ch Amplifier

Its a very good amplifier. Its a 5ch small/compact design that delivers good power. I would recommend it.

Great Amp

I purchased this amp after must research for my 2013 Ford F150, This amp has turned out to be a great investment. Running a set of J L Audio 5x7 components up front and a set of Infinity 5x7 Kappas in rear. Driving a J L Audio 10 inch sub in down firing box under rear seat. All the power you'll need. Highly recommend this amp. Best buy for these new F150's,

Great product

This amp has so far been flawless. The only downside is the fine tuning is not as great. Still workable but the space it takes up is minimal. I have a Nice 10" Rockford attached and if not monitored can destroy it.

WOW ! AWESOME VALUE AWESOME POWER!

My experience with Sonic Electronix has been excellent ! The NVX product line is a fantastic value and the performance rivals products 3 times the cost. The JAD900.5 is the amp you need if you are looking to run your whole car audio system with 1 amplifier. I have been so VERY impressed with the power and performance from an amp with such a small footprint. I have 8 speaker running off the 4 stereo channels and one 12in 4ohm sub from the sub output. This amp has more than enough power and is capable of putting out 1000watts RMS of clean, clear power if you want to max it out. For $299 this amp is a steal of a deal and I could not be happier with my purchase. It has all the features you need in a car audio amp except High level inputs which I did not need. I give this amp 5 stars across the board and you will to. I did my research first and it paid off in spades. JUST BUY IT !

NVX JAD900.5

Recently purchased the NVX JAD900.5. Quality look, quality feel, and more importantly quality sound. Excellent value, would purchase again. I also purchased the VSP65KIT 6.5" component set, also sound well beyond the purchase price. NVX provides affordable, high quality products. Excellent value, would purchase again.

Excellent amp, excellent price

Pro's: The sound is excellent, puts out more than enough power, the price is very good. I was between this and a high end JL amp. I own a JL300/2. I would say this amp is comparable. It's main advantage being it's price. It has a good set of crossovers, easy to use, and good protection from a short circuit.

Con's: I know I'm being picky but I wish there were more options with the crossovers. One channel has a HPF up to 4000 hz, wish it went a little higher. Other channel has a lpf up to 4000 hz and a hpf up to 400hz. But then again to get fully adjustable crossovers would cost much more.

In the end an excellent amp for a excellent price, if I wanted a new amp with full crossovers and 5 channels it would be at least 2x as much. I recommend getting this one unless you have tons of money.

Awesome AMP at a great price

I couldn't agree more with other reviewers. I hooked this amp up to pioneer components (6.5) inch in the front and JL 5.5 inch two ways in the back of my 2002 honda CRV. Also put a 10 inch shallow enclosed Pioneer sub rated at 200 watts. More than enough power to push everything with plent of gain to spare. Still tweaking but sounds really good. I shopped around and this seamed the best value for the money and got a 2 year warranty when buying the 4 gauge amp install kit. Couldn't be happier with this purchase. Only gave 4 on durability because I have only had it hooked up for a week.

Amazing little amp.

Just recently purchased this amp. Got it in one day so I am extremely thrilled with the shipping and service at sonic. I have it powering my entire system with Polk db1240-dvc sub and 2 sets of speakers. In the front I have the Focal 165CA1 and in the back I went with the 690CA1. This amp is tiny and doesn't heat up much at all. I like the controls and I got the gain turned down a little for the 5th ch and my sub sounds great. The highs are crisp on my Focals and I will be back to do my other car sooN! Thanks.

Awesome Product!!!

Installed. Great amplifier in a small product. I would buy any NVX product.

Meh

Had this amp die out twice. First time one channel just decided to stop working. Sent it on warranty and they fixed it relatively quick. Just attempted an install on a different car and it immediately went into "Protect". I have verified all wiring is 100% correct (this isn't my first rodeo) and even hooked up a different amplifier, which worked great. Good features at a good price, but just not reliable.

Great AMP

For the price, quality, and build of this amp, you can't beat it.
It has great adjustability (not as much as over $500 Amps), but way more than enough for its use.

It powers my Rockford Fosgate 6'' Fronts, Cerwin Vega 6X9 rears, and a 12' sub perfectly at 4 Ohms, gets plenty loud, but not overly where you'll never use its potential.

The amp will get warm after 30-45 mins of heavy use, but even on a long 350+ mile trip (inlcuding through slow chicago traffic) I never had the amp overheat/shut off.
I have had it for about 6 months now and have no complaints!

It is small and compact, fits right behind my rear fender in the trunk allowing me to tuck it away behind the carpet lining (still no heat issues either & its on the exhaust outlet side that gives some radiant heat).

It has over exceeded my expectations, has a range of adjust-ability and uses. NVX has hit the market spot on with a medium-high level amp that is a premium quality at a effective cost!

Hidden Gem

Highly recommend this product hands down exceeded my expectations and the price was unreal. I was uncertain about this product until one of the sales person on the floor gave me this recommendation and it was everything and more. I am a true believer with the amount of power this amp pumps out in each phase highs/lows/mids. Thank you thank you thank you.

quality amp

It is a very efficient and cool running amplifier. Very small fits under my seat perfectly.

Nice amp

It is a clean sounding amp that surprisingly for the price has a lot of power. Obviously its not a window breaker but it does its job and can play loud enough for me. I have mine powering a Hertz high energy 51/4 set with a pair of 6x8 MTX speakers as midbass with an RE SE PRO 15 inch sub with an Audison Bit One processor

Second time around

First one broke after twenty minutes. Contacted Sonic and they sent me a new one asap. Awesome service.

CLEAN, BEAUTIFUL SOUND!!!

I have this in my 2008 Town & Country powering my Arc Audio XDI693's, RF T1572's and my NVX VSW104! It's small enough to fit under my seat and never runs hot! I have all NVX wires too! The SQ is truly amazing! I spend a lot more time in my vehicle now! The side controls are simple and work great for tuning! The sub remote keeps my wife happy! LOL! The power, ground and remote adapter make the install clean and simple as well! This amp is strong and well put together just like every NVX product! Look no further than NVX for quality, durable products! Sonic Electronix should be your first choice when shopping online or anywhere for that matter! Thanks guys!

Excellent amp

This is an excellent amp and compares to the best JL, Fosgate, or other. Wide range of crossover features, high power, and clear sound. I have owned a JL 300/2 and Fosgate T800.4 and this amp is right along those, but for about 1/2 the price. I have one minor complaint, when using the crossover there aren't any markings between the first frequency (40hz) to the last frequency (4000hz). It makes it difficult to tell exactly what frequency the crossover is set at, an it has to be done by ear. Nonetheless it isn't worth spending twice as much money on an amp just for that feature.

Very Nice Amp

For the price you cant beat it .... but not to sure it is pushing the stated rms

Great Amp

I would recommend this to anyone who doesn't want to deal with multiple amp setups, I run high cone area to compensate for the low power for the sub channel. I have been building my own systems for 6-7 years now and I would rather have a 15" ID15 with 400 watts to it than my old competition setup of 2.2K watts to a single ten inch. Only reason I don't like the amp(4/5 stars for design) is because it should take 4 AWG in for power and ground, had to use a power distroblock to get it down to 8AWG for my power line.

Great little amp

I would recommend this amp to anybody who has little space to work with. This amp is under rated. It pushes my Sundown audio SD-8 and 4 polk 6.5 speakers with ease.Couldn't be happier with the amp. I had my set-up proffesionally installs, but im trying to tune it myself it myself now, its confusing..lol.. ill learn by experience.Other tahn is kind of hard to tune, its a GREAT AMP.

Hard to find a better value

When I was upgrading my system for a third time I had decided I was going to spend the extra money for high SQ products. When looking for a new 5ch class D I had narrowed my field down to the Hertz HDP 5, the JL 700 /5, and the Polk PA 5000. I spoke with a rep at Sonic about placing an order and he said I should look into the NVX JAD900. Having had bad experiences with new outfits or house brand products in the past I was extremely skeptical. He stated all NVX products were CEA rated and if I were to compare specs I would find the NVX would sit right along side the brand name amps I was interested in.

After much research I found that other than some cosmetic differences the amps all used the same chipset, shared nearly identical dimensions and input and control designs, and we're nearly identical CEA rated power. So why did I choose the NVX in the end? I was able to purchase it for about half of the cost of the brand name amps! The amp installed easily, NEVER runs hot, and has really good SQ. for once in my life I was proven wrong that more money means better quality and performance. Do the research and see for yourself. There is no better product for the money!

Pros: Clean power, small footprint, super efficient, looks great, and the best performance per dollar!

Cons: The status light is super bright making tuning at night pretty difficult. The crossovers are a bit too wide range making it difficult to dial in but it's the same crossover and filter setup used on the well known brand name amps. There were some errors in the wiring diagram but it was an easy fix.

Overall a fantastic whole system solution that lets you spend more on your speakers and less on a brand name companies marketing budget.

best amp for the money

Very loud crisp and clean. Amp stays cool small amp with high output . Tru rms wattage. Must get. If you don't shop at sonics than your throwing away your money. Great company for car audio. Very happy.

Excellent Value

I purchased the NVX JAD900.5 amplifier as well as the NVX XKIT 44 4 gauge,4 channel amp connection kit from the same company. You just cant beat Sonic Electronix for value, service, expertise and the excellent reviews received from customers who also purchased this amp.

Very Good Amp

This amp runs my front components and rear speakers and 200W sub flawlessly. Very nice robust design too.

Awsome amp!

This is a very well built amp. Has a small footprint and pumps out some serious CLEAN power! Have it running 4- tweets, 2- 6 1/2's, 2-8's and 1-12 in my wifes '68 c10 truck. Sounds awesome! Have it mounted under the seat along with the electronic x-overs, stays cool even after some hard usage. Definitely would recommend!

Amazing

I was on the fence about buying something other than JL amps. I have a HD600/4 and a 750/1 in my F150. I have no clue why I wasted JL money on my truck. The sub channel is a little lacking for the speaker I picked - my fault not the amp. I went with one of the NVX 12's rated at 800+ RMS so it could have gotten more power. For what I have in this system it sounds amazing and I didn't pay JL HD amp prices and it came with a bass control knob that JL sells separate.

I am sold on NVX now and I have the $$ to buy whatever I want. Total system was right at $1070 for this amp, Kenwood receiver, 2 sets Polk MM's, amp wire, and 12 w/box.

Don't hesitate to get this amp!!

Works great can’t complain

Hooked up to my dd components and 2 way doors in back and sounds great

NVX JAD900.5

Quality amp, don't pay attention to the test numbers. They only work on the bench. The factory numbers are still a bit high as it was tested at over volt.

An alternator only puts out MAX 14.2VDC and only at high load. a charged battery is only charged at 13.8VDC.
Expect a bit less than factory spec. The amp is plenty loud for me, I a teen I would shoot at the range w/o ear protection, as an old installer a put in and tuned many loud stereos. No more. Moderate clean and pland plenty of undistorted sound is in here. Look no farther this is it

I would recommend this Fine sound equipment for any one.

Awesome amp for the price couldn’t be more happy. Powers 4 door speakers and sub loud

Solid amplifier

solid amplifier, would recommend to anyone that wants good sound with solid output. I have been working with Curtis Wyatt from sonic on a number of things more than just this amplifier. He has been extremely helpful and I cant say enough about how this company looks to make the customer happy.

Class D is the future of car audio..

All of the many amps I owned before the NVX were class A/B and some had a class D sub channel, the JAD900.5 is the first full-range class D amp I have used and I have no regrets, the amp is very musical and the power is linear, it just keeps getting louder but doesn't lose any clarity. There is no need to spend more money unless you are just committed to using a certain brand, it really doesn't get much better. I run full active 5 channel system with Hertz Energy ET26.5 Tweeters, Image Dynamics X57 Mids and a Polk Audio DB1212 Sub, the Bass punches me in the stomach and it really sounds good, use quality speakers and you won't be disappointed..

great power package

I have a lot of adjustment plenty of power and filters the amp looks beautyful

Best amp

This is the best amp for the money! Small enough to fit under passenger seat. Lots of control for all speakers and great bass from this little amp.

Sound System

Speaker play great. I spent 6 hours on my boat all day playing loud music and the amp pushed my entire system. Very pleased thus far.

Great Amp!!

I have two of these amps, one in a Thunderbird and One in a Supercrew F-150. Both sound great, and I have had zero issues with either, the one in the T-Bird has been used daily for over a year now. They are surprisingly small for how much power they deliver. I do not really care for the gauge adapter for the power and grounds however it has never gotten loose or anything on me either so it works. Because of this amp I have since tried other NVX products and have been happy with everything that has the NVX name on it, I have used a bit of everything from the sound deadener, install kits, fuse holders, amps, subs, etc. This amp stays nice and cool, has only ever gotten luke warm for me.

NVX JAD900.5

This amp has plenty of power for what I want to be hooked up to rf separates in front and rf coaxial in the rear and 10 in subwoofer connected to a pioneer head unit system sounds great.

Nice clean power

Bought this amp on faith of reviews. Really cheap for what you get in terms of sheer power and SQ. Pushes my Sony 3 way components and Alpine truck box loaded 10" ported woofer.

Small form factor. Was able to mount under the seat of my 2000 S10 single cab. Runs warm but not hot. Remote sub control is a nice feature as well.

The only complaint I could come up with is that the terminal screws could be allen key instead of philips. Would be a more secure and less-stripable piece of hardware

NVX JAD900.5

Excellent amp and pairs well with rated and matched sub/ speakers.

Well worth the money

Bought it for Christmas for my daughter's 1992 Camaro. I wanted one amp due to special constraints and it's worth every penny. I'm using Phoenix gold mid grade series(I can't remember the model numbers) for 6x9's and 4x6's on a 2 ohm load pushing 50 watts rms to each of those, which is plenty actually with the proper tuning. for the sub I've got it turned all the way up powering a Image Dynamics IDQ10 at 2 ohm with a properly spec'd 1.6 net cubit foot box ported and tuned down to 28hz and it CRUSHES with this amp. The power is relentless, it doesn't quit, and no matter what volume level-low or high, it's clean, nothing muddy or lost. The bass knob is a good feature that gives you more range when you're listening to different types of music, you don't always need it thumping. The mids and highs are well delivered. I'm not maxing out those channels because the speakers aren't rated for it, so I'm in the upper half of the power range and they sound very good with the amount of power delivered to them. This amp runs cool for hours at a time.

Now the cons. The amp doesn't have the best crossover setting points, they could be better. It's just that the settings are widespread and you have to be very slow to adjust it. All in all, I'd recommend.

Affordable perfection

I was surprised and how small of a footprint this makes. Loved that it came with adapters for zero to four gauge. I have had this installed since Christmas Eve. It has worked flawlessly. Was a little sensitive to dial in the gain properly, but take your time and it’s all good. The only thing I would have liked to seen on this amp. Was that it was slightly raised from the mounting points. The bottom is all flush so if you don’t use standoff’s it has to airflow to the bottom of the amp. Can’t speak on durability since it’s only been a few months.

NVX amp piece of crap

Overheats smokes unable to handle a 10in sub 300 RMS amp shuts off if ur looking for good bass buy a much better amp not " nvx " its a piece of crap

By Braulio on December 26, 2017 Verified purchase

Pleasantly Surprised

I got this based on reviews I have read on here. Front and rear channels are powerful as a mofo. The sub channel will push any sub with an RMS of 250-400. Nice clean sound. The only thing I would change is the crossovers. It is real hard to dial in. Other than that a steal at 214 bucks. I have it in a 06 Civic sedan on 4 NVX 6.5 coaxials and a MDX 12 in a 2.40bx tuned to I think 38 or so. I really loves the lows. Hits nice between 28-40. I am a new believer in these digital amps. I'm a 40yr old bass head from the days of pioneer IMPP 12s and Kicker Impulse cheater amps. Shout out to the 90s.

Great amp

I am extremely happy with this product. My installer had never used the NVX amps before but had nothing but good things to say. The only thing he said was that it had limited tuning capabilities. But it saved me 200 on the project.

Good value

Good clarity overall.

This is my second 900.5 for a second vehicle and it's also paired with an audio control LC7. It's in a GM vehicle and runs a Polk audio component set and rear coax, along with a 10 inch kicker sub. This is a good price point for what you get. I'm still fine tuning and compared to my first set up with different Focal speakers, it still plays clear and fairly loud. There seems to be a very narrow sweet spot with the gains and crossover so I'd recommend being patient. I've been tuning for about a month now and still among fine adjustments.

Rock n Roll

Great amp in a small package. Very easy to setup

NVX best bang for the buck

This thing is amazing doesn't get very hot under the the back seat of 13 Silverado ext cab and that's running all channels on a road trip from San Antonio to Dallas. The clean sound is just as impressive , not as good as the JL Audio HD I had but close. It pushes MB Quart premium comps in front and matching coax in rear all 6.5. Sub is a kicker 12 shallow mount at two ohms and is rated at 500w rms. Don't think about just get it!

Extremely Impressed

To be honest, I have been out of the Car Audio game for 10 years, and at that time the thought of a clean sounding full range class D amplifier was a pipe dream. When jumping back in to Car Audio and desiring to put a clean sounding audio system in my truck, yet keep it fairly affordable and compact, I was VERY skeptical to give this amp a shot. My bias told me no way could a full range class D sound as good as the Class A/B or Class A amps I have experienced in the past. I decided to look past my bias and give this amp a shot.

When it came in I was stunned by how compact it was! I am used to big Class A/B amps, which at this power rating would be 22 inches long. Hell my last run with Class D mono blocks were all 15 plus inches. It's compactness meant I would have no problem with placement in my Tundra Pick Up.

I was also surprised by all the settings I could use, as I had only 4 pre-outs on my deck (A budget friendly Pioneer AVH-280BT), I was ecstatic to find that I could run either a internal crossover for the sub channel, or use a the rear pre-outs on my deck to run the subwoofer, and use a sum setting to run the front rca's to power the Front and Rear speaker outputs of the amp. Definitely was not expecting that to be found in a Amp in this price range.

Finally it came time to hook up the amp. Wow! Nice clean power that make Guitars, Bass Drums all just sound like they are suppose to! So happy I took the chance on this amp.

If your looking for a great sounding, powerful 5 Channel amp this is the one for you. I just wish they made a Marine version of this amp, so I can put one in my boat!

Thanks Sonic!

Great for the price point

Really good power for the price. Controls (crossovers/gain) and switches seem cheap but for the price you can get a nice head unit and cross over there for the same money as the higher end amps with same power level. Was reluctant to try it but very happy with it for the money.

Great Value

The quality of this amp is excellent for the price. Plenty of adjustability and power. Sound is loud and clear.

Best Investment

Iv owned a Kicker Amp before but Let me tell ya this little thing has power its Right Up There If Not Better Than Kicker It's so small and compact I have it hooked to two Kicker 12in Comp R's at 2ohm stable as can be and in a down fire enclosure the bass is just fantastic clear no distortion i listen to all type of music so the bass knob is a great feature all in all best product its always warm to the touch and the nvx logo lighting up is a nice touch.

Pros: Small, Easy to tune, Bass Knob n 4 - 1/0 gauge adapter included, Always Warm to Touch Barely Takes Any Voltage From the Stock Battery

This amp was worth every penny. I was working on a tight budget was able to put together an entire system for under 600 dollars Even though the amp and wire kit was almost half the budget it proved to be worth every penny. My brother helped me tune it and now it performs to my highest hopes. Great Product Amazing price!

Wow! So much power, super clean sound!

This amp has exceeded my expectations. I installed this in my 2008 Jeep Wrangler JKU. Wrangler are notorious for horrible sound. This amp has fixed that. I have it driving Hertz Dieci components in front and the same model coax in the sound bar. For the sub, I went with the NVX Jeep sub enclosure with a single 10" VSW104v2. I have no idea if I can push this furher or not, it is so unbelievably loud.

Clean signal

The 4 channel part of the amp is clean and clear. Running it with JL FiX 86 and focal 6.5" 3 way components. Problem is that the sub portion of the amp cannot keep up with the mids and highs. Had to use an arc audio mono sub amp (600 watts rms) and it still isn't enough for the mids and highs. Bottom line, great clean amp for mids and highs, but not enough on the subwoofer to keep up.

Great Amp with power and features at a Value price

I read a lot of great reviews for this amp from customers and Sonic Electronix itself, so I sold my JL Audio 5 channel amp and bought this one now everything in my car is NVX Brand

Great price great quality

Compare this amp with other 5 channel amps and it's a no brainer especially when you take in account the dyno test performed by sonic electronics showing higher rms power through all channels. Better sound and frequency options than my old soundstream 4 channel amp. I'm easily powering my Polk 6501s, Alpine type r 6.5s and my 8" Polk mm. And this was at my door in 2 days with free shipping ( faster than crutchfield )

Good platform, but requires some attention

The NVX certainly can produce tons of raw power, but there is more to audio than just power. The amp utilizes the oldest and cheapest audio op-amps (TL072) which suffers from poor audio and even phase reversal. I have upgraded mine to Burr-Brown OPA-1642 op-amps and replaced the super cheap signal chain electrolytic caps with SILMIC II and the amp performs with specs that rivals audiophile.

Phenomenal Amplifier

I've now used this specific amplifier twice and it still does not cease to surprise me with it's output and clarity while not being large or flashy like other brands. Once in a Jeep wrangler and another in a C5 Corvette.

Other than the layout of the dials not being labeled in a way that makes complete sense(the top row of dials belongs to the subwoofer channel fyi) it is a fantastic amp. Drives the speakers with no trouble at all and the subwoofer as well. Clarity is as expected from these amps is this is my fourth NVX amp purchase.

It's also not very physically large in an industry where somehow ockford-ray osgate-fay makes gigantic amps that produce the same power as this NVX with what seems to be all the same features honestly and protections. 10/10 would do again.

Great amp

Put this in my 2001 ram to power the 6x9s in the doors and the 6.5 in the rear with a shallow mount 12 and I have to say I'm very impressed with the sounds quality. Clear loud and powerful and very space saving. The only thing I dont like is the initial speaker pop when its started. Other than that though its a solid high quality amp

Exceptional Amp

This has got to be one of the best 5 channel amps for the buck. Running mb quart component, coax and JL 12tw3 with no issue. Small profile and plenty of power. A military have if searching for a 5 channel amp

Great 5 channel amp!

This amp really sounds good. Have it pushing 2 sets of component speakers in 4 doors and a 10" sub. After setting up, system is very balanced and clean. Nice and small, installed behind rear cargo trim, stays nice and cool. The only thing that would have been nice is a 10x multiplier switch to run 4 channels active.

Excellent Amp & Excellent Price

I have been jamming this amp for a month with no problems at all. It is plenty loud for the main speakers and very solid on the subwoofer. I've been running it around 80%+ max. Warms up but does not run hot. Controls are very easy to adjust and very well laid out. I was skeptical about buying a 5-channel amp vs. 2 separate amps (4-channel & 1-channel) but I wanted a slimmed down installation as opposed to the 2 separates I had previously (cheaper too). So I gave this NVX amp a try and I am pleasantly surprised. I would definitely buy this item again. If you don't need competition volume but still like it loud this amp's for you. I highly recommend this amp. Solid build, sound & clean as a whistle to boot!!

My system: A Kenwood eXcelon KDC-X998 head unit. Running 4 channels at 4 ohms into 6-1/2" and 6"x9" Polk db series speakers. The fifth channel is wired 2 ohms into a NVX NSW124V2 12" sub with a 1.5 cu ft. sealed box. My main music is Rock/Metal so I want a tight punch on the sub. Double Bass drums never sounded so good. : )

Great value!

I didn't want to spend a lot of cash on amps for my work truck so I thought I'd give this one a try (being 5 channels, I only needed this one). This amp has tons of power and is pretty small. It's a great value!!

GREAT BANG FOR YOUR MONEY

It's a great amp for the price! It powers everything I have in the car. I ended up buying 2 and putting one in my wife's QX80 and it bangs her 2 Alpine 10's easily that have 500rms each. I did buy a fan to cool it down for long road trips as It would shut itself off when it got too hot in the summer.

Excellent amplifier

This amp did everything I needed. I used it to power my entire 5 channel SQ system.
Felt the item was very reasonable priced for the power and ratings.
If I'm in the market for a 5 channel amp, I would purchase this one.

Great value!

Purchased this and after reading the reviews here.... For the price, it's just what I was looking for. Small enough to fit under most front seats. Adequate power. Runs cool and sounds great. Very versatile amp. Can configure many different ways to match your needs. Time will tell concerning dependability but worth the risk for the price paid. No regrets, so far....

Good amp for the $

Small footprint. Running 2 300rms earthquake 10" subs and they hit hard. I have two sets of 100rms Fosgate 6.5 component sets running off the other channels and the amp gives them all they want. Bass knob works well and amp has never been warm.

I am impressed but there is some background noise at low volume levels. My radio has 2 sets of pre-outs and I would recommend a radio with 3 sets as I feel sharing the outputs has induced some feedback and reduced volume levels.

If you are looking for a value priced 5 channel. You can't go wrong in my opinion.

Favorite Amp Ever Owned

I'm very much in love with this amp. As a 5 channel amp it runs my entire system consisting of an active 2 way front stage and single 15" sub mounted trunk baffle / infinite baffle in my sedan. It pumps out gobs of power on all channels, is super flexible to hook up, comes in a tiny package that's easy to hide, doesn't get more than warm even after hours of reference level listening and is super efficient. In short: this amp is perfect.
You absolutely cannot beat the value of this amp, you'd have to spend double or more to even come anywhere close to its performance.
I've had it for a few months now and also installed one in my brother's car, he also loves it.
The only down side I should mention is the supplied sub channel remote, it's flimsy and not progressive at all. Just throw it away and order the Scosche EFX RLC, it's easier to dose and feels way more solid.

Good solid starting point

Pro's: For it's size, it is a stellar performer. Clearly can provide it's claimed power rating and then some.

Con's: Chinese assembled. Solder quality fair. Amplifier preamp section would greatly benefit with TI's recommended op-amp, and ELNA SILMIC II's in the signal path.

I would recommend it for it's price.

By David on May 29, 2016 Verified purchase

Simply awesome.

Great features in a small package. I have this running in a Dodge Ram QC @ 2ohms on all channels. It is an excellent value and highly recommended if a one amp solution is what you are looking for.

The only thing I would change is to use a different finish as what is on it holds dirt/dust horribly.

NVX JAD900.5

Great amp for small pickup truck. Small form factor fits under the seat and is plenty of power for my setup

Great amp

I purchased this for my girlfriends 96 ford explorer. I am using this as a 5 channel, powering some 5.25 Morel speakers up front and JVC 5x7 in back. The sub is a craigslist special, a fosgate P2 10" in a seald box. The head unit is a Kenwood, and i am using all active cross overs from the Kenwood ( I dont have any of this in front of me, so i dont know the model numbers ) this whole set up sounds great!!

The NVX amp has some awesome features. You can use the x over network to run a active front stage. So channels 1 and 2 for the mids, setting the x over in a band pass setting.... And channels 3 and 4 for the tweets, running high passed. And you still have the sub channel.

I would recommend this amp

Great for a jeep build

This amp was perfect in size and ran a full sound system in a Jeep wrangler. Components on front stage, coaxials for overhead rear, and 5th channel powered a kicker 6.75 sub in center console. Amp performed great and had the Jeep sounding clear and strong. Would by again if needed to in future!
