[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 374740, member: 540940"] I bought a 1200D from SD in the fall of '01 when they were pretty new to the market. The 1st one I had quit working after about 1 hr. of use. I returned it to SD for replacement. The replacement amp quit working and let out the white smoke in about 3 hrs. of use. I contacted Lanzar and got a LOT of good info from Dominic - I even posted one of his e-mail replies on SD a while back and swapped a couple posts with him. In a nutshell he said the original and 2nd versions of the 1200D had tech. issues. The first one was a noise problem which led to a redesign. The 2nd was a problem driving low impedance loads which resulted in a change of mfg. About the same time I got this info from Lanzar I recieved my 3rd 1200D which came directly from Lanzar's stock - it was solid. I used it for about 6 mo. then sold it on ebay and my buyer said it was doing great. Having said all that - IMO the recent 1200D's and gxa1000d's are quality, affordable amps. To me, the fact that the ones at audioblowouts are refurbs is reassuring that any problems the amp may have had have been resolved in the refurb process. I'm thinking about getting one to run a couple 10's in my boat - either that or a reman. Vibe 430 for $120. [/QUOTE]
