Jensen XA2150 2 Channel Amplifier

Price Paid:  $119.00 from Wal-Mart

Year / Model Reviewed:
 Jensen XA2150

Summary:
I've had this amp for a year and a half, I'm pushing 2 12" Jensens off of it (which are about to be upgraded). I have nothing but good things to say about this amp. I've pushed it HARD, actually, as hard as it can handle for the whole year and a half and it has given me no problems what so ever. It delivers half the power that my subs can handle, which is sad, but amazingly it still hits hard for the price of the amp.

Strengths:
-Great cost/wattage comparison -Easy access to cables and adjustment knobs -Driven as hard as I can, hasn't failed me -Great starter amp

Weaknesses:
Can't say that I can name any. It doesn't blow your hair back but more than I expect paying $119.00. This amp rocks for the starter.

Price Paid:  $139.00

Summary:
I bought this amp after my equipment was stolen, so I designed a simple, yet efficent box with a single sub and special amp wrack. I love everything about this amp because I'm driving 1 sub. If, on the other hand, I had been driving 2 subs, I would have gone with something else.

Let's say you want to run a 4 sub system, but don't want to take out a loan to buy amps, buying 4 of these Jensen X2150's is a great idea.

Strengths:
- Pounds a single sub wonderfully
- Very affordable
- Easy access panel
- looks cool
- Excellent sound quality
- Specs match actual output

Weaknesses:
- not very good at driving 2 subs

Summary:
I paid $150.00 for this amph. I would recomend it to those who dont want to spend a lot of money, but want a decent sounding system.

Strengths:
This Amph has been great so far. The price is decent for the amount of wattage it delivers. It has an easy acess pannel to adjust bass bost and frequency. I am running the amph to 2 12' Rockford Punch Subwoofers.

Weaknesses:
I feel that the wattage is very weak, but decent for the price. I am begining to hear some distortion in it after 5 months of hard use.

This is an entry level type amph. I plan to purchase a Rockford Fosgate 800a2 as soon as i find the best deal.

Summary:
this amp sucks. i paid $169 dollars for it and it gave out in less than a month of hard use. The amp sounded pretty good and i had it pushing two jl tens.

Strengths:
not much

Weaknesses:
it gave out after about a month of hard use.
