Strength:

Clean sounding

Weakness:

Shuts off at high volume :( plus it doesn't come close to pushing my audiobahn AW1208Q's but most amps don't anyway

In regards to that comment about using this amp in a multi-amp system...I'm running 2 other amps for mids and highs and I get no hiss. Go figure.

Strength:

24db/octave crossover, subsonic filter, cool running

Weakness:

tends to go into protect with high voltages (over 4 volts)

This amp is amazing. I am using it to power three Rockford Fosgate 12" HE2 subs at 2.66 ohms.I upgraded from a Fosgate punch 500.2 and there is no comparison. I get nothing but loud clean bass. I have the gain control turned ALL the way down too! And I have no hiss in my other amps using this product as was stated in another review.

Strength:

Great power, great sound quality, steep crossover slope, digital design, Crutchfield took it back for a full refund :)

Weakness:

Creates unacceptable NOISE in other amps in multi-amp systems. Clarion, what the hell were you thinking?

I bet none of the other reviewers of this amp used it in a multi-amp setup ... because this amp has an INHERENT NOISE PROBLEM, as stated by the Crutchfield tech I spoke to. The amp itself is great (nice power, good sound quality, 24 dB x-over, etc) but make sure it's the only amp you're gonna build into your sound system, otherwise your other amp(s) will pick up a nasty HISS!!

Strength:

POWER, CLARITY, SOUND, GREAT LOWPASS

Weakness:

gets really hot when pushing a 15 inch square solobaric at bridged mode 2ohm

This is a really good amplifier. Im pushing a Kicker L7 15 solobaric subwoofer and it does a great job, except the amp gets really hot bridged at 2 ohm, other than that its great for the price i paid. I wanted to get a APX1000.2 but it does not come with a subsonic filter so i chose this one instead. For the price i paid $199 is deserves to be 5 stars

Model Reviewed: DPX1000.2

Strength:

It is really easy to use, and the class T technology gives a really clean sound.

Weakness:

NONE!!!!

This amp is incredible. I am running two 12" kicker solo-barics, and it hits really really hard. It is a huge step up from the Fosgate 200x2 that i was running before. I know that Clarion isn''t known for its amps, but this is one that will deffinately pave the road for clarion in the future

none!!!! unless too much power can be called a problem
