Strengths:
Lots of power- low heat and low distortion.

Weaknesses:
not too pretty to look at (who cares)

Summary:
The 1200D is a well built amp for subs. It may not be the most pretty amp but who wants looks when you have power.I have pushed 4 kenwood 10's and blew 3 of them within the first week. I have since upgraded to 2 Alpine type R 12's and it pounds!. You really have to know how to adjust the X-over settings depending on the sub and enclosure that you are using. This makes a really big difference. Have been pushing this amp at a 1ohm load for over 9 months with no problem.

Strengths:
- Incredible power - Stays cool, even in 90 degrees - 1Ohm Stable for 3 months, haven't gone into protection once - Subsonic filter, great for ported applications

Weaknesses:
- I love this amp, but it is U-G-L-Y, not a show amp, just an SPL amp.

Summary:
Excellent Amp... Gobs of power, my old amp hit really hard at 300RMS per sub (2 JL 12W3's) but this thing is wired at 1OHM so it puts approx 600 Watts RMS to each 12w3. All I could say was WOW... I had used many other more expensive amps(ie. RF 1000BD, JBL 1200.1 etc.) and they just couldn't compare in either power or efficiency. Truly a great amp with excellent signal processing for the price. Definitely the next best thing to the OPTI series for lanzar!

Strengths:
Cheap Very stable at 1ohm Doesn't overheat Connections are easy to work with Can power just about anything you throw at it.

Weaknesses:
It's so powerful, it's too tempting to crank it up and rattle my truck apart. Althought it's not the prettiest amp, who buys an amp because it's pretty to look at. When you pull up next to someone and want to tip there car over from the dB's your puttin out, who cares what it looks like.

Summary:
Ok, I haven't had time to do any SPL tests yet, but to give you a run down on my system, I've got a Pioneer dehp4000 headunit, Kicker 4x6's all around, two new punch he2 15's, and my new lanzar 1200D running at 1ohm. The 15's are in a sealed box made of MDF with 2.5 cubit ft per speaker. I actually built them with 2.9 per speaker, but when you drop the subs in, you lose .4 cubic feet. I ran 4gauge cable with a 100amp Fosgate ANL fuse, and I have the ground cable bolted to my frame. The setup is great. Since the amp is running at 1ohm, I'm pulling the full 90amps at full load, and I know I'm pulling that much because I blew all of my 80amp inline fuses on my power cable within 5 seconds of cranking it up. I went with the 100amp and it solved the problem. The amp is rated at 1200watt's RMS at 1ohm, and it sure sounds like it. I can rattle my walls in my room 2 blocks away. The amp doesn't get hot, even at the 1ohm rating cranking out 25~40Hz notes at near max volume.
