Customer Ratings & Reviews

Quality Product

Works very well with my Rockford Fosgate sub system in my car.

good deal!

Pretty decent value for the price. Worked out great, thanks.

Usable

The wiring has done me right so far but the only thing I don't like is the speaker wires. You have to carefully split it so the wire doesn't show. Other than that minor thing everything was great and a great value!

price is right

the price is right for this setup. the ground wire and the power wire are to big for my amp but i made them fit. better to have to much than not enough so if i upgrade to a larger amp it will be fine.

Accessories for product

Just what I needed and made installation so much easier. Thanks

awesome products

I run 2 12inch audiobahn exursions on this amp and it pushes them very well. The size is perfect not to big and fits right unerneath the seat or small space. The best part is it stays pretty cool even after running most the day.

good wires

I like the wire kit I got with my amp it seems to be holding up goo it handles the power of the amp I got but I would of gave it 5 stars all the way around but I wold of like the ground at less 2 more feet for good use but over all its a nice kit

Good stuff

Great product last a long time good value for the money.

compitition worthy

Im using two of the rz-2300 and they're on two sounstream t-6s and they slam and they're realy durable as well.

Small to Belive

I had this amp pushing 2 12" BM Boschmann Sub's. Iwas very satisfy on this amp. Don't pay attention on others review on this product somebody say it can only handle 8" to 10" sub but until 2 12" sub's.
It can handle like mine in the range of 150 watts RMS up to 350 watts RMS sub's, more than that it's got little weak to handle your driver. Be sure you have to put all setting in correct matching from your HD down to EQ until to the active crossover.
it probably puts around 350 watts RMS @ 4 ohms &
500 watts RMS @ 2 ohms. I think the down side of this amp was:

1. It's get warm driven by 2 ohms load set up but not overheated or
when in protect mode.

2. It was only 70 db signal to noise ratio compare to my other mono block amp rated 500 watts RMS @ 2 ohms but it has >104 db signal to noise ratio which is louder than this amp.

The Pros:

1. the price way to affordable.

2. It's not made in china, look at the down right side of the box it say made in Korea.

3. great electronic circuit diagram when I took it out the screw at the back I need to know how it look like inside the amp.

Since I got install 2 days and Iam new with this product I gave it 3 for the Durability

Awesome for the price

bought this for my single cab ram 1500 to connect to two 10s and this beast holds them nicely and its so small it will fit any where. im so happy with my amp i didnt think it could do so much from something so little

Cable

Good product fast shipping awsome seller... keep up the good work.....

Great Value not so great on power output

I got this amp due to its increadable size. I was a lil disappointed in the crossovers and power output. It could be better. But over all for value to price its a great lil amp to give anything a boost.

Wattage is overrated, but amp works great if you know this...

First off, the wattage is rated WAY higher than what this thing probably outputs. Just looking at the integrated fuses on the amp, given my experience, it's pretty apparent that the maximum RMS output probably isn't going to be higher than 600-700W. With some quick searches around the web, the Soundstream version is rated at 260 X 1 at 4 ohm and 450 X 1 at 2 ohm (if you look at the manual, it essentially calls out the RZ1-1500D as the PN1.450D).

Knowing all that, it's a pretty good little amp if you need those kind of power ranges. Doesn't seem to get too warm after extended 'general' use at 2 ohm and has just an absolutely tiny size. I can't express how small this thing is in comparison to other amps out there. Decent sound quality for a subwoofer with adequate damping factor (could be a bit better, but better than most amps in this price range). Great features for the price - subsonic and remote bass knob. Appears to be well built and has a very clean look. Can't comment to long term durability yet, but have been using it for about 1 month with no issues.

If you're looking for a good, small profile solution, with 260 (4) and 450 (2) output - I'd recommend.

POWERFUL AMP WITH MY JBL SUB WOOFER

Recomended this amp because the sound is great and works great with my JBL sub woofer. Easy to install and do need more space for allocated. Recomended to buy this product. Thanks Sonic

Big bang little amp

This amp is amazing for the price. I have it on a kicker comp 10 and it drives the hell out of it. Little to no distortion even on max settings. Replaced an 800W class A/B amp and the difference is unreal. Ran it for 2 hours at 4ohms and it was still cool to the touch. Would suggest a small cap as it can cause your lights to dim on a strong low note. No real down sides so far but ill post on any that I find. As for the power rating, I would imagine it is more likely 500RMS at 4ohms rather than the 600 that it boasts but most amps are rated on perfect bench environments.

Nice and little

I have one alpine s series in a band pass box I needed an amp for but the amp. Needed to be small in size. This amp. Worked out perfect for me it fit right under my seat and powered the alpine just fine my wife loves it!!
Did not rate durability yet to soon.

Good sub

This sub is worth the money. I put it in a 1.9 cb ft box that I also got from Sonic, it's ported, would not recommend sealed unless its a big box. Anyway I got this hooked to a 300 watt RF punch amp. This sub is getting about 375 rms and it takes it well. With clean deep bass and sound it's just about as loud as my cousin's Alpine Type-e subs with an Alpine amp. And his are 2 12's.

Not bad for the money

I have it pushing a set of shallow mount 10's and gets the job done with no issues.

Good amp

This is a small amp but, don't let the size fool it packs a punch at a great price

power bass hits

These speakers sound great !!! A lot of bang for the buck. I have beat the crap out of them and they are holding up fine.

BADA** SUBS I RECOMEND HIGHLY

I have 2 pbm104d tens w a audiobaughn a2400e amp and it beats the hell down point blank that is all ty

Perfect kit

Comes with everything you need. Works good with my 800w system

By Chad on May 14, 2020 Verified purchase

pb 10s are great for the buck

I got one pb 10 hooked up to an alpine m450 amp and that witch beats harddd!!!!

Good deal.

I purchased this for the value. Everything you need for a simple single amp install in one package. Good quality with good value, thanks.

Great Value Kit!

I would highly recommend this package to anyone looking to do a cheap install, i have friends who got these before and its nice, simple and cheap!
Never had any issues, great value!

Good subs

Works well and does the job. I think the power rating is a little high but they still sound great.

Ok. not the best kit.

The eyelet connectors are flimsy and the speaker wire is hard to separate. When it does it exposes some of the copper. Otherwise the kit is ok.

By Lloyd on December 10, 2015 Verified purchase

Good deal

For the price it would be hard to find better. For a class d runs a lil warm

Power Acoustik RZ1-1500D

Let me just get started by saying this amp does NOT have 1500 watts. I'm not saying this is a bad amp, it's all metal, comes with a sub controller, and its very small. This would be the perfect amp for like a 6-8 inch 2 ohm sub or something like that. I just wanted to say that it is not as powerful as it said it is.

Ok value

Good product , but not enough speaker wire to wire two front door speakers in a scion xb. I guess it would have been enough if I had run one of them with the power wire instead of running on the other side of car, but everybody knows that's a bad idea due to engine noise. You would think they would take that into consideration. Also not a big fan of the square and round speaker wire very hard to separate and strip without exposing bare wire.

So small but so powerful

This amp works great for a single truck box sub. Easy to install, doesnt take up a bunch of space.

Decent Little Amp

Well its a decent little amp, and does well to power my 2 Rockford Fosgate 8" P2 DVC subs. Small footprint makes it easy to find a place to mount or hide.

1 con however, stats say largest input wire is 4 awg, its not, its 8 awg. not a big deal, adapters are easy to make or purchase.

Great value

Does the job does what it needs to do. It was packaged nicely.

great lil amp

i just got the amp on thursday it does seem to be alil under powered and the wire inputs are deffinantly not 4 gauge, i marked it down on durability and features because the input size for the wires is wrong and it is definantly a lil under powered

awesome buy

This thing is awesome I cant believe how small it is and has lots of power. It is great quality and have yet to have any concerns of problems and crazy fast shipping

Decent amp

I have it hooked up to a 10'' Pioneer driver in custom made box for my Ridgeline.
Amp is fine. I am not sure, what Subzero knob does, but otherwise, install was very fast, and it took me only about a week to fine tune it.
Also, I expected a bit more power out of it. But it is OK for my needs.

You get what you pay for....

Bought this kit for my 650 watt rms amp. Not true awg 4 guage, but close.jacket is pretty thick.all wires flexible. Reached under the back seat of my 2008 silverado crew cab. But not a whole lot of slack if your going to a trunk. Fuse is ok... ive seen better and worse. Bottom line, if your on a budget and running 800 rms or under, this will work fine.

By Trevor on June 8, 2016 Verified purchase

Great Amp

Amp is great if it's tuned correctly, shipping was fast, bass knob is cool as well. If you want more power like I do go with the power acoustik BAMF 2000.1 D

Great wire

Ran wire though firewall with ease m, and is powering my 1500 RMS amp no problem.

By matt on April 28, 2015 Verified purchase

great little amp

When I first pulled it out of the box I was surprised by its small size (smaller than a sheet of paper LxW) terminals hold solid, dials are easy to tune, and it definitely makes 950w @2ohm! Only 2 minor problems I have are that it gets pretty hot, so keep it ventilated, and the bass knob is pretty much on and off with hardly any control in between if you have a light touch it should be fine.

Great value

Bought it to try out but is a really good power rating and not cheaply made for price and is really flexable

By Paul on October 17, 2017 Verified purchase

awesome

This amp is getting the job done very nicely for the cheap price tag that it has it was definitely a great purchase. If i can get the levels adjusted right finally it will definitely be rated better than the last amp i bought

Great price

This kit has a great price. Everything in the kit seems to be great quality much better than expected for the price. Very fast shipping. Everything you need to do a amp and sub install. Will be ordering more.

Perfect!

Was surprised with the quality of the copper and actual size of the wires compared to other cheap brands like Schoshe. Worth every penny.

By Tony on December 15, 2017 Verified purchase

Great wires!!

After reading reviews and most importantly watching the video Sonic posted with this product, I decided to give it a shot for my Cerwin Vega VPAS-12. The wires are exactly as described, true 4 gauge, not all insulation like the other brands. The fuse block is solid and easy to set up. I was worried it may not fit the VPAS connectors since they mention 8 gauge, but it works and it is holding in no problem.

The only thing I did change was the actual battery and ground terminals, they seemed weak, so i chose something stronger and all is well.

Thanks again Sonic!!

By Fabio on March 16, 2020 Verified purchase

Decent Product

Works very well, wish it included longer zip ties but overall a good kit that has true 4 gauge wire!

By Lachlan on April 8, 2020 Verified purchase

Very well made products

For the price, this installation kit is great. You can spend 4 times the amount for killer connections but if budget and functionality are key, this is the best.

By JAMES on June 9, 2020 Verified purchase

Cool amp

Cool little amp that was recommended to push my 15" KickerCompD152. A bit underpowered but good enough for me to enjoy my music. When first installed I thought it was faulty because I wasn't getting any sound. It turned on but had no sound at all. Tried two different RCA and no luck. Then I connected my mp3 player to it and finally had sound. (Figured my new receiver's output signal rca connections were faulty.) After receiving signal from the mp3 player, I reconnected the amp to the receiver (before pulling the receiver out) and it actually started working! Don't know what the issue was, (Yes! everything was connected right.) but everything works fine now.

Great valule

Great quality wire, plenty enough for the job. Works great and made my install a breeze.

By Edward on February 18, 2020 Verified purchase

Solid little amp

I bought this little guy to push a pioneer 10" in the back of my wrangler. Makes my 10 absolutely bump. I'm almost shocked at how good it sounds for the size. And for $94 you really can't go wrong. The gain control is nice but the wire it came with didn't fit right so I just made my own. It would've gotten a 5 star rati if not for the wire not fitting right...

Quite a suprise....

While I didn't purchase this through Sonic, I'll still put together a review since I currently have this in my other car. My other car, a small Pontiac Solstice..(very tiny 2 seater)...Well I missed having music while driving, problem is THERE"S NO ROOM..... for much of anything. So after a exhausting search, I broke down and went to a local audio shop for help. (I usually do a lot of my own installation)... Since I am the only one that drives that car, we adjusted the seat for me, and we managed to put two shallow mount Kicker 12's in smallish ported boxes behind the seats. It's very tight, but it works....Couple of days after installation, I took a trip, over 300 plus miles, 5 and a half to six and a half hours....This little amp got warm, bout it. Pounded all the way, I was deaf when I got out of the car, but really happy..lol... I seriously think most of the heat generated was from the sun for the bit I had the top down. This amp is so small, it's mounted on my armrest right next to the e-brake. (It takes up a good bit of the armrest mind you, but it was the only viable location). I wanted it there so it was inside the air conditioned part of the car with me. That little car is so close to the ground the floor boards get really hot on long trips so a low mount location wasn't in the cards. It's been several months later and it still rocks those two 12's like no one's business. First thing I said when the guy showed it to me was "are you serious"??..only because of it's size...But I'm pleasantly surprised. I'm tempted to get two more to run two pairs of 12's I just ordered from Sonic for my suv, but I'm sketchy about it providing serious power to that size of system that I am putting together for that particular vehicle because I'm going for a bit more oomph....(shallow mounts just don't punch as hard as regular woofers..imo)..Great amp, great price, and it'll really surprise you.....You won't be disappointed. The only reason I didn't rate the "ease of use" is simply because I haven't adjusted a thing since installing it. It' cant be any worse or better adjusting than other amps are. You just need a tiny tiny screwdriver.

its pretty good but..

This is a pretty powerfull lil amp.. I have it pounding a Pioneer 12 inch rated at 600rms.. Its pretty good.. BUT it accepts like 6 gauge minimum... You have to buy those terminal reducers.. Other than that its pretty cool. Ive had this product for about a year.. No problems what so over

Works great

Powering a single 15 inch kicker comp r 2 ohm 600 rms. Works great

By Travis on November 22, 2015 Verified purchase

It's small

This thing is tiny and it delivers. I have the gain way down cause it puts out too much power for my sub. Bought in preparation for a sub upgrade

By Mrod on July 21, 2017 Verified purchase

perfect

Great product small but a big punch just what I was looking for

Update to Power Acoustik RZ1500.1D

I change my rating on this product to 5 star it's been a year and 4 months everyday used in another set up. I bought the NVX NSW 122 first edition i got the last pair 2 for $99.98 I put them in ported box 2.46 cu. ft and tune to 38 Hz small box run off Razor RZ1500.1D they matched each other sound quality bass is perfect.
You must correctly tune this amplifier to performed well and here are my settings subsonic filter set in the middle, low pass filter set to 35 Hz, bass boost set to 1/4 and gain match to eq out put.
This amp pound both of my 2 NVX NSW with extra deep cycle Battery BBL 26AH

worked for a while.....

had this in my truck powering two 12" alpine type S subs. one day i noticed the bass was gone and subs were not firing. the amp lights up still like it is getting power. i pulled the fuses to see if they were burnt out and they were fine so I put them back in. started up the truck and the subs were going again for about 30 seconds until i turned up the volume slightly then again just gone.... amp still has power, everything seems fine but just doesnt work. I guess for the price even if it lasts a year its not bad but it is not great. also the built in crossover can't be set very low so may be an issue for you if your head unit doesnt have one built in.

Everything I Needed

Used this kit to run an amp to the trunk of a 2015 Kia Optima. Ended up trimming about 1½ft of excess to help clean up the install. Everything seems to be good quality. Ran the power wire down the driver's side and RCA & amp signal wire down the passenger side to avoid any interference. Plenty of length of everything for a full size sedan.

Sweet amp

I am running this small amp on 2 12" pioneer and it rock the crap out of them. I had it running my factory 8" and blew it up rock hard. I am glad I didn?t mess up the amp. I have been in the car audio for 27 years and was very doubtful about this amp because of its size but it does the job extremely well. I even bought the 5 channel in this sires and was confident with that purchase also.

By Rasputant76 on August 4, 2017 Verified purchase

Great value

Amplifier is small and lightweight which is a plus but the amplifier does cut in and out if used for a long period of time

Powerfully little amp with clean signal

I was looking for an amp specifically with a small footprint, as .y truck is extremely limited on space. This little amp was a perfect fit for my needs. I have it powering one 10" sub rated to 1500 watts, and it does not dissapoint. Consistently delivers crisp and solid sound at all ranges, and volume levels. Will most likely pick up another sub and one of these.

By Rob on June 10, 2016 Verified purchase

Impressive and Trustworthy

I have had this amp for a little over 2 years now.
I have had it run 10s, 12s, and currently, it is running a Skar DDX 15 at 2ohms.
I have to admit, I didn't think it would last very long or give out as much power as it has.
I will definitely be getting a better amp, but this one is well worth your money!

Great price and quality!

For the price I was extremely surprised on the quality of the power bass 10.

Sounds very natural

I bought one of these for a very good price and wasn't expecting anything special. A friend raves about a 4channel amp from Powerbass that he has so I thought I'd give them a shot since the price was right. I'm running about 325 watts from a basic D class Kicker amp at 2 ohms and have it in a ported box. It sounds loads better than the Pioneer champion that blew after maybe a year. If this sub lasts a while I'd definitely buy some more of their stuff in the future.

By Silver on November 15, 2015 Verified purchase

Good kit for the price

The power and ground wire are fine , speaker wires are interesting. One side has square and the other is round which makes it very easy to know what you hooking up to what. Came with everything it was supposed to.

Deep bass from a small package

I bought this amplifier for my vehicle, which already features an upgraded Harmon-Kardon system and an aftermarket JVC head unit. The sound system was already decent—clean and free of distortion...but it lacked deep bass. I chose this amplifier to replace a broken one because it was compact and very competitively priced. While I expected it to be small based on the online photos, I was still surprised—first by how quickly it arrived, and then by the tiny shipping box. Inside, the amplifier was even smaller than I imagined—in real life, its length and width are smaller than a men’s size 12 shoe.

I carefully adjusted the gain to ensure the output was clean, and I can confirm it cleanly delivers 600 watts between 20 to 45 Hz at 2 Ohms without any trouble. After using it for a few days, I’ve been impressed by how little heat it generates. There is a soft but noticeable thump when the amplifier turns on and off, but aside from that, the output is very clean in my subwoofer setup.

One tip: you’ll definitely want to get insulated 4 to 8 gauge adapters for the power and ground connections, and consider using wire ferrules for the other connections--the main connections are seriously undersized. Overall, for the price, the output is amazing, and I’m happy with how easily it fits into small spaces. You can definitely mount it in creative ways!
