Strength:

good value, good watts / dollar value

Weakness:

a bit large... hard to mount in tight places

Over-rated a bit as far as output goes, but for the price its still a very good amp. Will do about 725 bridged into 4 ohms at 12.9 volts. Simple, solid power amp. No fancy bells whistles. I ran it at 2 ohms stereo last summer and it performed flawlessly in the california heat, warm but never hot. Never went ito thermal protect. Its a good amp but I probably wouldn't buy one again, its just too big. There are other amps in this price/wattage category that are smaller in size. Bought mine pre-owned for $125. In that light its a great value.

Model Reviewed: Profile CA-1200

Strength:

Lots of power for the price. Great design, easy setup. Variable Crossover Frequency adjustments, Switchable Crossover Hp/off/lp, Variable Bass Boost @ 45Hz. Chrome look is great! Great protection - Thermal, Short, DC Offset

Weakness:

A little on the large size, I've heard that they are not the best quality amps around, no problems yet though.

This amp has been an exceptional amp. Plenty of power, great for the price! I've had no problems at all with it. A little on the big size (wide) but other than that great. I am running 2 10" Pioneer TS-W255DVC 350w rms/700w Max subs with it. They pump pretty good, I've got it bridged so the amp is putting 450 watts rms to each and 600 max.
