I've heard them, its just an amp //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/imdaman.gif.bc6c552e19aa4ad8c47461144f40eb1a.gif

Good bang for the buck, yes. Reliable?. I've heard lots of good things and lots of bad things. I'd go for a Hifonics Brutus 1000.1 if I was looking for an amp in that power range. They usually go for around $250.

My brother had one, gobs of power for the price, and he ran it for years without incident until it was stolen. Someone out there is probably still poundin' with it.

clips alot, decent power, but still clips alot. u have to be pretty careful with the gain.

I own one, have never had a problem with it. As for the clipping, thats never been an issue with me. I went to yahoo and typed it in under shopping. then i found the cheapist and did a price match to another website. Got it for 256 after shipping.

Edit: yeah no ssf, sorta sucks but oh well. jsut be careful not to play below your tuning if youre ported and youre fine.

I used to run the 600.1 (which is a smaller version of the 1200.1) to a pair of type r's and it was awesome. I got it very cheap and never had problems with it. In fact it was my first install and i wired my 2 2ohm subs at a .5 load and it handled that load for 4 months until i left my back window cracked during a storm. Never had problems with it and i miss it alot. Im sure the 1200.1 is just as reliable as the 600.1

i've installed two JBL BP series amps - a 1200.1 and a 300.1 - both are excellent, cheap sources of power, just quite difficult to calibrate and get everything working right. When you're upside down in somebody's trunk with a Mag Lite between your teeth, those tiny little gain and x-over controls become very annoying //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif my Tantrum's knobs are much easier to deal with.

had a 1200.1 for a good 6 months running at 1 ohm, never a single problem, and the clipping problem is not true at all. the gain and crossover could be better, but its overall a great amp with tons of power for the money.
