Strength:

Highest power/cheapest price ratio (correct me if im wrong) nice looks hubba hubba

Weakness:

gets rather hot same size as a 1200.1 which gets even hotter gee I wonder why -paint could be removed for a silvery cooler running amp :) or add a cooling fan cheap adjustments but who cares would kill for dash mountable bass boost ctrl and possible bigger bass boost muah hahahaha(evil laugh)

i have a bp600.1 i have noticed it playing distortion and have also heard of many people saying it plays distortion just get a audiocontrol bass boost expander/low pass filter this will turn this high power amp into a lean mean sq/spl & non sub blowing machine also allowing you to extremely fine tune your high power amp there are also other lpf modules but youll have to look em up yourself this years model epicenter $150 shippedhttp://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3063416730&category=14931 or last years model for around 50-75 doesnt have a backlit logo on the front not sure how good it is compared to new one possibly half as good due to price cut in half

Strength:

The JBL 1200.1 is just enought for your car or truck. they are extremely loud.

Weakness:

DESIGN. NEEDS A FAN. KNOBS TO DIFFICULT TO ADJUST. CAN BURN YOUR SUBWWOFERS IF ABUSSED!!!!!! DAM WHAT POWER THIS BRUTAL THING DOES!!!!

All I have to say is that if you are looking for SPL and SQ for your subwoofers I recommend you to use JBL Audio, JL Audio, and Rockford Fosgate amplifiers (MONO). Thay are 100% American products.

Strength:

Stays clean with gain high - No heat - No distortion - Sounds like a class A - keeeewwl looking light

Weakness:

Nothing that I can see yet

Whoa - this amp is definitely all it is cracked up to be. My friend owns a profile CA1200 and is very proud of it so I decided to show him what TRU power sounds like. heheheheheh lets just say that is made his CA1200 look like a low power hunk of metal that takes up too much space in his trunk. We were running the gain near 70 percent for a little while on his 12's and they stayed clean. it was the loudest I have ever heard them get. I have the amp now operating two kappa 12.1's in a vented box and it sounds great for general music listening. This amp is the best bang for your dollar that I have ever seen besides a crossfire 1000D. I hear this amp really clocks in at about 1400 watts when metered. Same with most crossfire amps. I plan to get another one of these and rock two of phoenix Golds new Elite 12's.

Strength:

lots of good rms power. pushes more power than rated at. Draws very little current for amount of power. best bang for the buck.

Weakness:

none

This amp is awesome. I have it pushing 2 audiobahn aw1200q's which are both 700watts rms. This amp really hits hard. I have had many people offer to buy from me for well over what i paid. i will sell and i want to buy the new beast. the jblbpx2200.1 which is 2200 watts rms and push 2 audiobahn immortal 12's.

Strength:

Loads of real RMS power

Weakness:

Fire Hazard!!!

Nice Amp with lots of power but I think it has an inherent defect! Something burnt out on the inside with no warning while car/stereo was off and all fuses stayed in tact... Definitely a fire hazard!!! Luckily I was near the car when this happened. I was vaccuming the trunk and all of a sudden I heard a pop and white smoke started oozing from the amp... it looked like it was about to catch on fire and I yanked really hard at the 4 guage ground wire and pulled it out. VERY SCARY! had me shook. It may be a great amp/deal but if my car had caught on fire, that would be pretty serious. I've heard of one other person who experienced this, so be careful with this AMP!

Strength:

Power, Power, and more Power!!! Great Price if you shop right. Many Watts Many different Applications.

Weakness:

No X-Over, but already knew that. The controls are a lil bit sensitive, just be careful when adjusting.

This amp is the truth!!! I am not a pro nor a competitor, but having this amp in my car makes you feel like you can do something. I read the reviews and I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I have already blown 2 15" Kicker Comps. (Lower model though). It was my fault, too much, too soon, as the dealer told me. Replaced with one AudioBahn 1508Q which is rated at 2000RMS in a vented box, and it pounds away like crazy. Started to smell the burning like others said. I added a pair of those RCA X-Over things nad never smelt it again. Just gotta tweak your settings to perfection to avoid unneccessary distortion. I just can't believe how powerful it is. I got 2 caps on it after I have read many other reviews and now I know why. I still have my lights dimming, but a better alternator should fix that. Best amp I have had and I have had many.
