Year / Model Reviewed:
 1200

Strengths:
good legth and well designed to keep cool, had good lows better for punchy bass, sounded better and more efficiant with a 2 farad capacitor.

Weaknesses:
speaker output terminals blew burnt out amp was only 3 months old and was tuned @ 30 hz at 1/3 gain i dont see why it did wired 2 subs one on each channel @ 4 ohms. metal outer of amp cheap made ratteled when beats hit. used this amp with two alpine type e series wich absorbed everything this amp had to offer, for price range cadence 1200 rms 4 channel and power acoustik ps2 2600 amps sound a heck of a lot better definately for low bass notes power acoustik subs suck though blow very easy on a efficant amp

Summary:
over all i was suprised it sounded pretty good. it looks ok very long about 2 feet for being a 1200 watt amp thats really good it had decent amount of power.

Strengths:
strong clear bass

Weaknesses:
small noise distortion

Summary:
Profile is definately the best brand out there. I was all about fosgate until my friend introduced me to profile...it has never gotten that hot, never not worked, but make sure you have a small flathead driver to turn the crossover and bass up and down...mine broke

Strengths:
good sound ,flexible sound control, decent power.q

Weaknesses:
size to power ratio. Quality of electronics lacking

Summary:
profile amps are decent for the price if you don''t mind sending it in for repair a lot. I had to sent mine in twice under warranty, fixed it a third time myself by replacing the same diodes the factory had replaced. The fourth blow out just happened and the fix that worked the first 3 times didn''t work . So i am debating whether i should pay to have it fixed or trash it and get a quality amp

Strengths:
power..looks good ..crossover ..i like the fact that i can go to the trunk and set up the bass the way i want

Weaknesses:
i have experienced problems with this amp..first it couldn''t shut down ..second time , there was no sound output or made my subwoofers make alot of noises ..i dont think this amp can operate under cold weather ..since i have 3 years warranty i have exchanged for 2002 model , which i think it got more power than 2001 model

Summary:
this amp has power can push my 2 jbl subs ..hit so hard...BUT in long run this amp will cost you money for repair make sure you get warranty when buying this amp

Strengths:
Lots of Bang for thr Buck

Weaknesses:
Size

Summary:
Maybe Profile has been making a mix of defective and good products...But as far as my 1200SX, It knocks HARD!!!!! I hav it playing a Triple 10" MTX5000 Box, and I can be heard coming for at least two blocks. My rearview mirror shakes so much that it makes me dizzy if I stare at it.
