Planet Audio MB1200.1D Mini Bang Series Class D Car Amplifier - 1200 High Output, Low/High Level Inputs, Low/High Pass Crossover, Bass for Subwoofer

I've been listening to this 5 channel amp for about 1 1/2 years now, and have come to some conclusions about it, and the technology behind it. Must comments will be about this specific amp, but I'll have a few about class D, also. This amp is good for a daily driver system. Keep the volume at a reason level, and you can expect a decent 50-70 watts/channel to the mids/highs in your vehicle. If you push it much more than that, it looses control QUICKLY. With the gains properly adjusted, I can play reasonably loud, enough to annoy my wife, and make my daughter smile. As far as the sub channel goes, I appreciate the efficiency of class D, but miss the damping of a good class A/B amp. Where the main channels loose control of the speakers, the sub gets pretty loud. I am using an 8ohm sub, so I am not pushing very hard, but it allows for more extended time listening. (It keeps the amp cooler by not pushing the current draw.) I had to go to a sealed enclosure, once again because of the amp loosing control of the speakers. The distortion gets rough, and the first sub I put in blew after about 7 months of listening, so a redesign was in order. Sealed enclosures keep control of the subs better, and gives more room for forgiveness. EDM is perfect with this amp. The built in distortion hides the glass of this amp. Listening to rock/classical/ anything where quality is critical, demands you keep the volume reasonable. The adjustable sun channel helps with that. I pushed the gains on the sub channel, and keep the sub knob lower for normal listening, but can push it up when needed. Ultimately, this amp is worth what you pay for it. If you want concert quality, stay away from class D, especially on YouTube mids/highs, but it is acceptable, but not preferable to class A/B on the subs.

I really doubt this pushes 1200 watts. I have it hooked up to a 2ohm dvc 10” Skar and my 8” CT sounds with a boss 1100 blows it away. I even hooked the 10” to the boss and it sounds much more powerful. But for its size and power draw its not bad. If you low on space or 12v amps. I still like it but realistically its not pushing 1200 watts Update!! Started clipping at high volume after a month….

I bough this amp for my wife and her dual 12" MTX Thunder speaker she has. They are 2 ohm. It sounded pretty good( I mean those aren't very high quality bass dropping speakers). I have my own stereo system. I have 2 12" Fosgate P3's in a slotted box. I was running a Pioneer champion series 9601D 2400 watts @ 1 ohm. I fried it, twice actually in just a few years. So I borrowed my wife's amp. I was absolutely floored. This little mini bang clowns.. It doesn't claim to put out 1200 at 1 ohm it says 900 @ 1 ohm. I will have to upload a video of how hard it makes my 12's flex. I would go out and do it right now, but I am at work and it would cause to much a scene. Seriously I have read the other reviews and I think the other people are having issues because they have 2 ohms speakers and then the amp only puts out 450 watts. I did an 8 hour road trip with the music cranked and it never got remotely hot. I'm so freaking impressed with this Planet Audio Amp I think I am going to buy a bigger one!

Seller was good 👍🏼 , shipping etc . The item itself was unimpressive, gotten better bang for the buck from the old Walmart dual amp’s at half the price . Wouldn’t recommend. Or maybe I just got a dud . Either way I don’t have much faith in planet audio amps at this point .

I have 3 10 inch 4 ohm kickers dual voice coil wired parallel to 1 ohm . It works amazing for about 20 minutes while its really loud im talking about making the headliner wave loud lol then itll cut out to cool off for a few minutes .. but at a conservative volume will play all day .. im happy with the purchase does everything i need and you can hold on your pointer finger lol

I FINALLY had a chance to install it and am quite happy. I have no idea if it really produces 225 watts RMS @ 4ohms as claimed, but it drives a JL Audio 10W1V3-4 nicely and thumps when required.

Great budget amp…1 ohm or 2 ohm stable surprisingly powerful

This is 1000% misleading. There is NO WAY that this will go to 1200W max. #1 the power connections are WAY TOO SMALL. They will not even accept a 4 gauge wire to power it up #2 the speaker out are WAY too small to run any real sub efficiently If If this amp even had the ability to get to 500W, the speaker wires would be melting as they are 18 or 16 gauge Way too small to deliver enough power to a real Sub The fact that this has 2 20watt fuses on it says that this can not get past 400W as those fuses would blow. On the bench this thing was only able to get 372W @1 ohm (Un-Certified.) not the 1200W that is advertised as a max If you are looking for real power, and really want your car to thump, this is not it. This is a fire trap waiting to happen. Small wires=small sound. Just stay away from this thing.
