Used product for
3 Months to 1 year

Price Paid:  $0.00

Weaknesses:
obviously does not like it when i cross over the wires

Summary:
ok if it never over heats than explain this... i crossed over the wires on the amp to get the clearest sound i could out of the amp and after less than a half our... the amp is heating up. one of those days the amp got soo hot that it melted 3 capaciters, 4 heat sinc chips, and 4 resisters... now tell me that its supposed to shut down when it overheats... can i ask why it is overheating and how the hell i am supposed to fix it or if the amp even supports wire X over. i repaired the amp and it still does it but i catch it... what might be the problem.

Price Paid:  $0.00

Strengths:
The name speeks for itself "Hammer Series" Never Overheated or Cut out. I've been beating the crap outta it for hours and hours to come its great.

Weaknesses:
None. just get a Capicator because you'll need it with this amp!!!

Summary:
I hade it hooked to my Infinity Perfect Kappa 12.1 Sub rated for 350 Watts RMS, so I figured the VU1100 would do the job. Well after 8Months my of Overdriving my sub which i didn't think was possible i scwred the voice coil. It's an awsom amp provides about 320Watts RMS if you use bass boost keep the Gain set somewhat in the middle the VU meters are handy just make sure that it doesn't execeed 0DB Gain and ur fine.

Strengths:
LOOKS!!!! The amp is just plain AWESOME! Great Finish with Clear Plexiglass & Dual Blue VU meters. Not to Mention that it is 2 ft. long....

Weaknesses:
Over-Rated...1100 watts?(700w maybe). And The Size... Not really a bad thing tho.

Summary:
I bought the AMP brand new on ebay. I found out why I got it so cheap. One of the Low Level input RCA jack was faulty. easily fixed by placing something between the two RCA jacks. Anyway, I used this amp to Push 2-12" Volfenhag Subs in a Sealed box. The System sounded great. But I truely believe that the amp Over-rated. Keep in mind that I was running the subs in a 2ohm load. So I was getting the Most Power I could out of this amp. The amp NEVER Failed! Bottom line is; Great amp for the money!
