NVX VAD10001

big power from a small amp

TL;DR: huge power in a small package, needs markings on subsonic filter for accurate settings.

I replaced my Kenwood x501-1 with this amp so I could run @ 1 ohm to push my 2 Kicker 43VCWR122 prefab boxes that run @ 2 ohm's each.

I set the gain for 31 VAC via a digital multimeter and a 50Hz test tone and the amp does what it needs to.

I appreciate that the amp comes with a remote bass knob, but I decided to not use it (one less thing to fiddle with while I'm driving). I also like the face that I don't have to crimp any wires to connect them to my amp, it made installation so much easier.

Also, I noted that for mounting the amp, it takes roughly the same space as the Kenwood amp it's replacing, even able to use 2 of the previously made mounting holes, which made installation (for me at least) that much easier.

My 1 and only complaint - the subsonic filter. I am extremely happy that I have one, especially on an amp in this price range, but my complaint is this - I don't know what it's set at, unless I turn it all the way down (10Hz) or all the way up (55Hz) - but there's no markings in between telling me where the subsonic filter is actually set at, I'm just guessing at it until I find a way to figure it out.

Super compact

Guys I looked all over for a good amp and my cousin told me about sonicelectronix and their quality products I couldn't be happy with this little compact amp I was super surprised about how easy it was to hook up. And boom just like that it was just what I needed to power my subs.. Great amp no joke!

Awesome!

I decided to redo my system and NVX was recommended to me. I needed a monoblock that could push up to1000 rms @1ohm and it definitely does the job. The compact size is great as well. Definitely happy with my purchase!

Make them hear you

My word this thing can put out some power. Who would have thought with it being so small. I have it ran to a NVX VCW 1000rms single 12 at 1ohm. Lets just say i think the amp is a little underrated in power. I actually had to turn the it down because the sub was beggin for mercy! But yeah, for the money, its like stealing. At this point i might as well just go full NVX in my car. Cant beat the value vs performance.

Good little amp

This amp delivers ample power and comes in a small package. Easy to find a spot to mount it, even in a jeep. It pushes a 10 inch Kicker nicely.
It does not disappoint. I would recommend this amp.

Great price for power

I like how small it is for the power it puts out it does have some weight to it as well

Easy work, great value, small foot print

I would recommend this amp due to the true RMS ratings proven on many tests. It stays cool after hrs of play. Most of all: size! This little guy packs a punch but still fits under my passenger seat in my runner to complete my stealth set up. I'm running it at 2 ohms (780ish RMS) but at partial gain on an rf p3d4-10(500 RMS) in a sealed enclosure: hits hard and low for all my taste in music. SPL would be higher in a ported box(and this amp would push it easily), but stealth is what I want and stealth is what this amp gave me plus more.

Great AMP,Small & compact

Great Amp small and compact perfect RMS and wattage match for our single kicker 15 compr. Plus better fuse protection with 3 fuses compared to boss 1100m that only has 1 30amp. Only light to know that the amp is on is the blue power light very suddle.

Great little amp

I have this amp running a 650W 10" Dayton HO DVC sub. My sub system has way more power than my stock stereo. I have the gain at about 25%. It's nice having all the adjustments and the remote gain control is a must if you listen to a bunch of different kinds of music.
