great amp for the dollar

I have this pushing 2 eclipse 10's and is trouble free and never shuts down!

Much Better than other more expensive amps!

I bought this amp for a satellite subwoofer power source with a 12V - 30 Amp switching power supply and own 5 other Planet Audio Anarchy amps that are all working great and sound superb! Don't sate your time and money on other more expensive Amplifiers as I have but will never do it again! These are great for powering my NVX VCW series subwoofers and I will continue to buy more Planet Audio Amplifiers as needed from Sonic. AC600.2 x1, AC3000.1 x1, AC2600.2 x2, AC1500.1 x2. I have Only positive things to say about these amps their performance and value.

Great for a class ab amp

I have this hooked up to 4 re audio subs in a closed box. Wired down to 2 ohms. Hits good and I only have it turned half way up.

decent amp for price

Looks and feels solid
but it puts out about 200watt rms at best
so dont expect the world for the price
For my $20 sub and 4cuft box tuned to 35hz
it hits pretty good.
but if i had high end stuff this aint the what you buy

Great Product

I have in a 1983 Pontiac Grand Prix pushing my two Lanzar 12's with no prob. It makes my system sound very much like a high-end system you spent thousands on. I would reccomend it highly if you are looking for quality at a tight price......

Lots of Power for small price

Only had a small budget to purchase a sound system. I went with the Planet Audio AC1500.1M and paired it up the a couple Planet audio 12's all for $150. The Planet Audio is more than enough power for such a low price. Sounds Great!

Bottom of the barrel!!!

By far the worst amp I have ever owned!!! A 500 Watt Memphis class D shatters the amp!!! I sold it to the first person who would give me my money back :/good thing the amp did not look half bad and it said 1500.1 on it should have said 150.1!! My 900.1 PB sounds three times louder at 2ohms and it's 1 ohm stable!!! I would only buy this amp if you were seriously on a very tight budget!!!

Not that bad

I bought this amp second hand with an Alpine Type R 2 ohm. I ran the amp wired at 4 ohms for a bit because it does ride in my family vehicle. I just wasn't getting what I wanted out of the sub so I wired it to 1 ohm against what the manufacturer recommends. I have pushed the amp hard just to see if it would overheat. It has not given out on me one time. I now have a Kicker L5 15 hooked to it and I'm really impressed with the way it's holding up. I'm not concerned if it pops due to the price but I am really impressed with the way it has handled it like a champ. I'm about to add another 15 and really thinking about getting one of the bigger Anarchy amps.

This amp is perfect

Love this amp. Stays cool while pushing my sub perfectly. I have it pushing my cerwin vega 12 at 600 watts rms. I like how compact this amp is too. All around great amp.

PA 1500.1

I bought this amp just because of the price. It's output definitely isn't 1100W RMS, but it pushed a single 10 pretty hard. Sound quality wasn't bad, SPL was pretty good. Overall I have no complaints about this amp, especially since it was only $80.

for the price its okay

I had this amp pushing a cvr 15' 4 ohm and it sounded amazing for about a month. it started getting really hot and it melted its own fuse and wont work anymore i still had the warranty so im exchanging it for a new one but as soon as i get the money im getting a kicker amp.

I brought this amp as upgrade and most say was well worth it. For look/ design i only rated 4 stars cause i thought LOGO would light up. But overall I like to give 10stars!!

Do it right

First off, it's called "the uglys book". Amps x volts =watts at 100 %efficiency ,which u know u can't get 100% ...30 amps x 16 volts=480 watts max .... I have two pioneer 12 inch champions wired to two ohms each.....clam shelled in a 3 cubic foot vent box,one 12 is wired out of phase so they can work together.....now also this box should not work if u do ur reading...I have 1 amp per twelve 2ohms each....6 fared 21 volt boost lanzar cap, bass enhancer mod, and still haven't hooked up my bass knobs from my amp, now box that shouldn't work,amps that shouldn't work.....ever have a car n front of u plug there ears because the bass line in the song "Lola" by the kinks is way to f-ing loud....priceless ...the wire kit is awesome but the fuse is a one time deal...

Lots of power!

This amp can push some wattage I read many of the others reviews before buying this amp and I can personally say that who ever stated this amp is low watts or won't push was 100% wrong or doesn't have the amp speakers set up correctly. This amp is worth the money and will push a good sub hard

Great amp for the price

I have this amp wired up to 2 Rockford Fosgate P3D2-12's. Wired at 2 ohms in a ported enclosure tuned to 40Hz. It may not push completely what the subs will take but it pushes them hard enough to knock pictures off the walls in my house when I am messing around with it in my garage. Honestly I don't know why people say the power is underrated. I haven't actually checked its actual output but it drives those subs hard. Very good bang for your buck.

Nice amp,good value.

I needed a single channel amp to push a 12" sub. I recently had an older punch 600 watt amp that needed to be replaced, but I didn't want to break the bank so I settled on this one. I'm glad I did it hits a lot harder and sounds very clean with my system. A great value for the money. Very pleased.

Planet audio ac1500

Got this amp for a house project. Hooked it up to a 600 watt power supply and an old car receiver and it does really good. It's playing through a 12" sub and a few bookshelf speakers. It bumps really good and can be felt through the entire house. It does get kind of hot after playing at max volume for an hour plus, but nothing to worry about. Overall an amazing amp, compact, and beautiful. If you need a cheap amp that will not disappoint get this.

Planet Audio AC1500.1M

This amp is a wicked piece of electronics, naught it second hand and u have run,jbl 10s gt series at full volume and it has made them bump hard enough to split the box,then I used kickers and I blew them a week later with this amp at only half, then i used it to power 2 mtx 12 inch terminators and I was pulled over for noise ordinance, and I also scared the crap out of people next to me playing rap, with the mtx playing a.c./dc's thunderstruck and that's when I got pulled over.
Bottom line is your preference, now I am running a pioneer 1500w 12 champ series and it wants to jump out of the box at half volume.
I would recommend this amp to anyone who is looking for clean pure bass I love this amp, 2 yrs and still running strong .....I have nothing but good things to say about this amp....I have had Kenwood, pioneer, kicker,I would buy this amp again if I had a choice.

Btw. I am running 2 jl subs with a Zeus amp and this planet audio, just pounds it out of the park.
Awesome amp

Cheap amp!

Great value, as long as you understand your not getting a 1500 watt amp.
Take a zero off, maybe 150 probably more like a hundred watts. Even so when I was a teen, amps were a dollar a watt or more. I bought this for
a work van. I just wanted some bass to go with the factory speakers.
So l have this amp hooked to one subwoofer. It works so far.
But come on it's a swap meet amp.

dont let the bad reviews stop you from ordering this amp! , for the price , its worth it! , i have 1 american bass XD12 hooked up to it , and it puts out , with a little bit of windshield flex , i play my music loud 80% of the time , and after about 30 min , i checked to see if the amp was getting hot , its wasnt even warm ! the rms rating is just about right. if your thinking about getting this amp , dont hesitate . for the price you cant beat it .

Great performance for the money

I bought this amp for my old school box that has 2 MTX ROAD THUNDER II's in it, ( yup, they still thump). This amp has worked flawlessly, small mounting footprint, nice performance, never has gone into protect mode. I have it in a 1999 Peterbuilt , and when I'm buying fuel at the truck stop, I can still hear the boom outside the cab with the doors closed. Excellent value, I will buy from Sonic again, and again!!!

Wow!

I've had many amps in the past and this one is by far the best for the price. I tried to hook up just one planet audio bb12dvc subwoofer and it was loud but not to my personal liking so I hooked up a second one I had. That made a huuuuuuuuuge difference as they are running in 2 ohm mode. Overall I am very impressed with the output of this amp. Doesn't draw a lot of power yet can be overbearingly loud at times if turned up.

This amp is good for the price but dont expect anywhere near 1100 watts rms.. thats just not happening. It provides enough power to my two 10's and can be run for hours at 2ohms without even getting hot.

This amp pushes my 10" Rockford Fosgate sub with no problems, with bass turned up and pushing at max for 2hours plus, doesn't over heat, the bass knob that comes with the unit uses a screw-in mount system... but I used double sided tape. works like a charm! for the price it was a great investment
