NVX VAD11005 v2 (VAD11005v2) - Customer Ratings & Reviews

NVX VAD11005 Great Amp

I was a big fan of the JAD900.5, Installed 4 of them. This new one is just as good but even more power. They also fixed the small annoying things on the 900. Such as the speaker inputs and power/ground input terminals, much nicer now. Nice and deep and also use allen screw, much more secure. Also the new one puts all the RCA connection to one side, so no more cable running in front of the adjustments. I installed with the NVX 5 channel amp kit, as well as the VSP65 component set and VSP65 speaker set and a sub of different Brand due to space constraints. Very pleased with the results. The 11005 is also much easier to mount due to the new case design. If your torn between the 2 amps, the 11005 is worth the cost difference over the 900.5

Great footprint and power

Love this amp. Tons of power, clear sound. Running my front 4 channels through a dsp into this amp, and a Dayton audio sub at 600w rms at 2 ohms. Very satisfying to listen to parkway drive and Mastadon

Love it!

I was one click away from purchasing an Alpine 5-channel amp but decided to give this NVX a shot instead after a lot of research. I'm glad I did. I saved hundreds and This thing is loud and clear. Built well and runs cool. Pushing Infinity speakers in all four corners of my Tacoma along with a Dayton Audio HO 10".
Friends and family have all been amazed with the sound. Great little amp.

Cape Horn 32

I'm using this to power 4 seven inch 200W Fusion Speakers and one 10 inch 600W sub-woofer. Music is coming from the NXV Bluetooth module. I have no other controls and my boat rocks! If you have good speakers you don't need anything else since the tunable filters are more than sufficient for both pairs and woofer. The included remote bass is useful but I find that once you have figured out what you like you really don't need to adjust. The subsonic filter is awesome. At full power, if you turn it to max the woofer vibrations in the boat drop substantially without having any impact on the sound. I mounted it inside of my center console so it won't be exposed to any elements other than salt air so the class D conformal should do the trick. I guess I will find out in three years or so. Absolutely love the way that it draws ZERO current until the Bluetooth module sends music (attach blue wire from BT to the amp and you're done).

Can't go wrong!

Never having heard of NVX, understandably I was a bit reluctant. But the price for a 5 channel amp was hard to argue. My old boat had a fusion 5 channel amp, which was great, and is still going after 5 years, but also $600. The NVX is less than half the cost, and to be honest I believe more powerful. The kind folks at Sonic Electronix have always given me good advice, and they assured me I would not be disappointed with the NVX. They were not kidding. I have it hooked up to 4 JL Audio MX series speakers - two 650s and two 770s, plus a JL 10" M series sub, which is better than the MX sub. And I did opt for NVX's 5 channel amp install kit - definitely worth it.

For the head unit I went with a JBL gauge style PVR-275. It was inexpensive and had 3 sets of pre-amps, which I figured was important. I have to say, I'm floored by the overall performance. The system gets very loud, and stays clean at high volumes. I've had the system installed for only a month so far, but I couldn't be happier, and I can't believe a $6-800 amp would sound any better. Fingers crossed for years of enjoyment - that will be the true test.

Another Great NVX Amp

I was really impressed with my previous JAD900.5 5-channel amp in my older car (used it for 5 years). Matched it with a NVX 12” sub and it was solid. So when I got my new car I went with the new VAD11005 & a step up on the 12” NVX sub. I love it! Plenty of controls, solid power & great sound. For the price & quality I am completely satisfied with NVX subs & amps. Highly Recommended!!

Great 5ch amp

Purchased this amp to power my Hertz component speakers in my front and rear doors and two JL Audio 10" subs. The components are powered at 4 ohms and I'm powering the subs at 2 ohms. Thanks to this amp my truck THUMPS. I have it mounted under the front passenger seat in my Tundra and it runs cool even running it loud for extended periods. I'm loving this amp.

awesome amp for the money.

Great customer service, Sonic Electronix
Purchased 3 of these amps.
Installed. 1 in Motorhome, 1 in Polaris RZR, and 1 in a Pontoon boat.

Great amp

I purchased the VAD11005 to put in my 2018 F150. I'm running AudioControl LC7i behind the factory radio. A set of Pioneer TS-A6970F 5-way in the front doors and a set of Kenwood KFC-1696PS 6 1/2" in the rear with some dynamat. I used two 10" Apline Type R subs in a Fox Acoustic box. It's a huge difference from the factory. I used to have the volume on 10+ for basic listening now I keep around 3 or 4 and it sounds better.

Great Bang For the Buck

This amp did awesome used it in a 1993 C1500 pickup for a set of NVX 6.5" component speakers, a set of 4x6" Memphis speakers and 2 kicker CVR 10" subs. This thing was loud!! Once tuned it sounded awesome. They pack great power in this package! size-wise for a 5 channel, it is relatively small you could put under a seat if need be. OVerall great sound tunability and price!

Sounds great! Good connector block too!

This AMP sounds pretty good. Nice and clear! The connector block accommodates 4 gauge wire for power easily. It also accommodates 14 gauge speaker wire easily too!

Great Value!

Great Amp. Paired to Nvx 6.5in component in front doors and Rockford t2 6.5 in components on rear deck. 12inch Nvx sub in sealed box.
Comparing this amp to my previous setup of Jl slash 300.4 powering infinity kappa components and jl slash 500.1 powering 2 10 inch w6s.

Sound quality is excellent. Found the slash series to have a warmer,and slightly better sound quality. To be expected comparing an ab class amp to a class d amp.

Overall this is an amazing amp. No issues so far after a year of use. Kudos to Sonic Electronics on recommending NVX as a great alternative to JL and other more costly brands! Pair this amp to a good set of components and you wont be disappointed.

Best bang for your buck!!!

I have installed Amp in a 2015 HD FLHTK Limited and nothing in the motorcycle market comes close. I'm using AMP to power 3 pairs of J@L 6.5 C-2's and 2 J@L 6.5 Subs with power to spare on top end. Crystal clear with NO distortion when properly tuned. Tons of complements from riders in relation to sound quality. Not too mention deer are on the run 1/4 mile away staying clear of the loud tunes. Also the reliability is off the charts since mine has been installed close to 2 yrs now and we all know the abuse a rough road can do to electronics. Haven't had a single issue since installed and would buy another NVX in a HEARTBEAT. Buy it and you will not be disappointed!!!!!

Good product

Was kind of hesitant about ordering this amp in the first place. I’m glad I did. It gives more than enough to power my sub that needs 700+rms. It’s the best that I’ve ordered.

Wow

This amp produces such clean sound. The reported rms wattage is true.

Impressive at this price point.

Decided on this amp for our soft top Jeep due to price point and the fact that it is marine certified.
Installed easily under the front passenger seat.
Pushing Focal components in front, Focal coaxes in soundbar, and a 12" sub in a sealed box. Plays loud and clear once tuned correctly. Running off 4 AWG power/ground and signal is from Amppro 4 AP4-CH41 with factory HU.
Only issue I found was that the rear gain (CH 3/4) had to be turned way down so it did not over power the front channels. Could possibly be the placement of the rear soundbar speakers (right at the back of your head).
Jeep is a 2021 with the 7" Uconnect. I would imagine that amp would perform ever better with a good aftermarket head unit.
Highly recommend this amp.
Disclaimer: Pic was initial install and testing. Wiring has since been cleaned up.

Great purchase

Just installed amp in my Can Am Maverick X3, it sounds great and was fairly easy to install and tune.

Great Choice

I received the amplifier about a week ago, but just got around to installing it. This is a very good amplifier for the price. I using 6 and half components up front and 6x9 in the rear a 8 inch subwoofer in a ported box. It sounds very good. I very pleased with this amplifier.

Worth the Money!!!!

All I have to say is WOW! SQL is as good as these expensive amps that cost twice the money!!!! Good enough power for my speakers CT-sounds and for my JLw3v3-2. CLEAN CLEAR MUSIC!!.. Do not be fooled, I was hesitate to buy this product and I'm glad i did. Best Bang for the BUCK!

Great Amp

Hard to get any better then this 5 channel amp for the price.
Small foot print, easy to install, easy to setup.

Will purchase for other projects in the future.

Best bang for the buck

I own 2 of these now and I will never waste my money on JL again. Not that JL is bad but at half the cost and as much or more performance NVX is a no brainer. If you are on the fence just buy it.

Highly recommend

I highly recommend this amplifier this amplifier is extremely powerful n for the money u cant go wrong n thanks to sonic electronics for having them available

By Jerry on September 25, 2022 Verified purchase

Impressive

Well I’m impressed. I bought this as a backup amp. Installed it to see how it sounds. It sounds great and has enough power to crank with the windows and sunroof open. I definitely give it 5 stars and recommend it highly. Stays cool after it’s been cranked for long periods. This is a gem flying under the radar.

Excellent Value

Installed in a 2016 Toyota Camry with 4 kickers 6x9 and a JL10x3v4-2. This amp is plenty strong to push what I have on it. It works great and runs cool compared to other amps I have had in the past. The amp setup is great as far as the inputs and outputs go. All the dials on one side clearly marked. I would definitely recommend this product for an all in one setup like I went for.

NVX does it AGAIN!

I have this in a CTS. Had issues with the factory wiring diagram being incorrect. Finally sorted it out!

This is one bad amp! NVX has been a favorite of mine since the JAD900.5! The VAD11005 is more powerful and just as, if not, more clean than the JAD! It makes my VSP65 Kit and my VSP525's sound Awesome! I play with numerous NVX subwoofers. At first I had 2 VSW82's in the dual Atrend enclosure... simply Amazing! At the moment I am running 1 VSW124 in the Belva single vented enclosure... wayyy more than I expected! Next up is 2 NSW102's, then 2 NSW104's, and finally I'll run 2 NSW122's... Belva dual vented enclosures for all these as well. After all my swapping in and out, I'll know what I want for daily! Oh, I forgot. I have a VCW104 to try too! Yeah, I know... I'm hooked! It's ok though! I am vehicle shopping now so I can put the others to use! SMH!

It's not so small that you lose the adjustable crossovers like some newer amps, but not so large that it takes up too much space. All the controls are easy to use, as well as the connections. BTW... alllll NVX wires, fuse holders, distros and X-series RCA's!!! NVX ROCKS!

No dimming lights with this baby either! If you're looking for a 5 channel, look no further than NVX and Sonic! Thanks again to the Awesome Team at Sonic! NVX... Second to None!

Small amp, plenty of power

I have this amp in a 2019 ram crewcab pushing alpine type r 6x9s, infinity 3.5"s, and an NVX vcw104 sub @2ohms in a ported box. The sound is clean and loud, gain turned up 1/3 of the way on front channels and maybe halfway on rear channels. I bought this amp to push a single vcw104 which I already had laying around and yet small enough to be mounted behind the rear seats, and it does both with ease. That sub in a ported box powered by this amp really slams, more than I need. Very compact, very powerful, extremely pleased.

Great sounding amp

This amp runs all my highs and subs in my jeep. Sounds great even with no top on jeep. Lots of power, very clean sounding. I would recommend!

Awesome amp

Bought this amp a little over a year ago and it really rocked, all of a sudden it started going into protect mode. Took it to the installer and found a shorted out fuse block at the battery but it still had current. I am so happy for the amp doing what its supposed to do and saving itself. Now I'm back to being able to jam again. Thanks sonic for having such awesome products!

Nvx vad 11005

This amp is just bad aS. I had never heard of NVX before until one of my friends told me about them and boy am I glad he did. I am pushing 4 6.5s 2 1" tweeters and an 18" skar sub it sounds so loud and clear NVX has a few new customers because I'm sure spreading the word about NVX now...

Great product and pricing.

I got this for my boss and his Jeep. Easy simple install, amp looks good. He is very happy with the performance of this amp. Highly recommend it and all NVX products. Of course Sonicelectronix is the place to go to get.

Very Happy with it.

I've never done anything with amplifiers before and tried to do as much research on good 5 channel amplifiers. I've been super happy with this one. It's constructed with a very nice all-metal body and performs super well. It is larger than I expected but it also is able to output a lot of power.

Great footprint and power

Thoroughly surprised the power this makes at that size. Sounds fantastic as well.

loud and clean

set gains using dd1, power output is as described. good clean power without breaking the bank

By Wayne on April 25, 2020 Verified purchase

Absolutely a great amp

Have this pushing two Kicker 9” wake towers, and a Rockford 10” sub. This amp is more than enough for the three speakers. Sounds great and easy to tune.

By michael on October 22, 2020 Verified purchase

Amplifier was perfect for my boombox

Made a boombox with 4 6x9 speakers and 2 10” subwoofers and let me tell you this amp does a fantastic job at pushing all components! My neighbors sure don’t like hearing it that’s for sure!

So far so good

Purchased to replace 2 amps in my Jeep Wrangler. Fits nicely in the cargo area.

By Christopher on October 26, 2024 Verified purchase

Awesome addition

It's nice to have a fairly compact amp to run door speakers and subwoofer. The subwoofer is slightly underpowered, but it gives me the power/loudness that I was looking for

By Kent on August 30, 2024 Verified purchase

Powerful small sized amp

I have this amp under the passenger seat in my 1999 Subaru Legacy, it fits perfectly and provides more power than I need for 4 6.5" Alpine S-Series coaxials and a Rockford Fosgate P3D4-10 wired for 2ohm.

I like it so much I'm about to get a second for my 4runner.
