Power Acoustik RZ1-1500D 1500W Class D Monoblock Amplifier, Black

Monster power from this amplifier. Its very cheap too and what’s better is that it comes with a remote knob. Knobs can be pretty expensive these days which is why having one for free is really a great deal to have.

I own one of these RZR 1500D. It can't be beat for less than 100 bucks. Big D Whiz bought and put on the dyno on his YouTube channel. He states and I quote, ive caught the unicorn. Lol. It pumped out 711 watts at 2 ohms and has a bass knob, subsonic filter, gain, and low fre frequency crossover from 40 hertz to 250. Trust me its not the best amp out there, but best amp under 100 bucks. Ive got this on my golfcart with a DD Audo series 500 10 inch and it knocks it hard. Its heavy, small, and the insides are beautifully put together. If your on a budget this is your gem.

Cool amp

Cool little amp that was recommended to push my 15 KickerCompD152 . A bit underpowered but good enough for me to enjoy my music . When first installed I thought it was faulty because I wasn't getting any sound . It turned on but had no sound at all . Tried two different RCA and no luck . Then I connected my mp3 player to it and finally had sound . (Figured my new receiver's output signal rca connections were faulty . ) After receiving signal from the mp3 player, I reconnected the amp to the receiver (before pulling the receiver out) and it actually started working! Don't know what the issue was, (Yes! everything was connected right . ) but everything works fine now .

Quite a suprise....

While I didn't purchase this through Sonic, I'll still put together a review since I currently have this in my other car . My other car, a small Pontiac Solstice . . (very tiny 2 seater) . . . Well I missed having music while driving, problem is THERES NO ROOM . . . . . for much of anything . So after a exhausting search, I broke down and went to a local audio shop for help . (I usually do a lot of my own installation) . . . Since I am the only one that drives that car, we adjusted the seat for me, and we managed to put two shallow mount Kicker 12's in smallish ported boxes behind the seats . It's very tight, but it works . . . . Couple of days after installation, I took a trip, over 300 plus miles, 5 and a half to six and a half hours . . . .

Pounded all the way, I was deaf when I got out of the car, but really happy . . lol . . . I seriously think most of the heat generated was from the sun for the bit I had the top down . This amp is so small, it's mounted on my armrest right next to the e-brake . (It takes up a good bit of the armrest mind you, but it was the only viable location) . I wanted it there so it was inside the air conditioned part of the car with me . That little car is so close to the ground the floor boards get really hot on long trips so a low mount location wasn't in the cards . It's been several months later and it still rocks those two 12's like no one's business . First thing I said when the guy showed it to me was are you serious?? . . only because of it's size . . . But I'm pleasantly surprised . I'm tempted to get two more to run two pairs of 12's I just ordered from Sonic for my suv, but I'm sketchy about it providing serious power to that size of system that I am putting together for that particular vehicle because I'm going for a bit more oomph . . . . (shallow mounts just don't punch as hard as regular woofers . . imo) . . Great amp, great price, and it'll really surprise you . . . . . You won't be disappointed . The only reason I didn't rate the ease of use is simply because I haven't adjusted a thing since installing it . It' cant be any worse or better adjusting than other amps are . You just need a tiny tiny screwdriver .

Small to Belive

I had this amp pushing 2 12 BM Boschmann Sub's . Iwas very satisfy on this amp . Don't pay attention on others review on this product somebody say it can only handle 8 to 10 sub but until 2 12 sub's .It can handle like mine in the range of 150 watts RMS up to 350 watts RMS sub's, more than that it's got little weak to handle your driver . Be sure you have to put all setting in correct matching from your HD down to EQ until to the active crossover .it probably puts around 350 watts RMS @ 4 ohms and500 watts RMS @ 2 ohms . I think the down side of this amp was :1 . It's get warm driven by 2 ohms load set up but not overheated orwhen in protect mode .2 . It was only 70 db signal to noise ratio compare to my other mono block amp rated 500 watts RMS @ 2 ohms but ... MoreI had this amp pushing 2 12 BM Boschmann Sub's . Iwas very satisfy on this amp .

It was only 70 db signal to noise ratio compare to my other mono block amp rated 500 watts RMS @ 2 ohms but it has >104 db signal to noise ratio which is louder than this amp .The Pros :1 . the price way to affordable .2 . It's not made in china, look at the down right side of the box it say made in Korea .3 . great electronic circuit diagram when I took it out the screw at the back I need to know how it look like inside the amp .Since I got install 2 days and Iam new with this product I gave it 3 for the Durability

Update to Power Acoustik RZ1500.1D

I change my rating on this product to 5 star it's been a year and 4 months everyday used in another set up . I bought the NVX NSW 122 first edition i got the last pair 2 for $99 . 98 I put them in ported box 2 . 46 cu . ft and tune to 38 Hz small box run off Razor RZ1500 . 1D they matched each other sound quality bass is perfect .You must correctly tune this amplifier to performed well and here are my settings subsonic filter set in the middle, low pass filter set to 35 Hz, bass boost set to 1 / 4 and gain match to eq out put .This amp pound both of my 2 NVX NSW with extra deep cycle Battery BBL 26AH

Wattage is overrated, but amp works great if you know this...

First off, the wattage is rated WAY higher than what this thing probably outputs . Just looking at the integrated fuses on the amp, given my experience, it's pretty apparent that the maximum RMS output probably isn't going to be higher than 600-700W . With some quick searches around the web, the Soundstream version is rated at 260 X 1 at 4 ohm and 450 X 1 at 2 ohm (if you look at the manual, it essentially calls out the RZ1-1500D as the PN1 . 450D) .Knowing all that, it's a pretty good little amp if you need those kind of power ranges . Doesn't seem to get too warm after extended 'general' use at 2 ohm and has just an absolutely tiny size . I can't express how small this thing is in comparison to other amps out there . Decent sound quality for a subwoofer with ... MoreFirst off, the wattage is rated WAY higher than what this thing probably outputs .

Decent sound quality for a subwoofer with adequate damping factor (could be a bit better, but better than most amps in this price range) . Great features for the price - subsonic and remote bass knob . Appears to be well built and has a very clean look . Can't comment to long term durability yet, but have been using it for about 1 month with no issues .If you're looking for a good, small profile solution, with 260 (4) and 450 (2) output - I'd recommend .

[Rewarded Review] Works great for me

This thing works great for me in my setup. Im not running competition gear in my car. I have the highly disputed BP1204 running off this guy. They work together perfect for me and I run it at half power.I custom wired its remote control knob into my dash, and installed my own LED rocker switch (splicing the on/off line) to shut it down fast ;)I tweaked my amp for more midrange to hit the higher basslines in DnB and electro-industrial.All in all I think this is a fantastic amp and does what I need it to do. The only complaint is this, clearly you want to run 4AWG into this guy. Its ports are only 8AWG. I bought adapters (hard to track down). I would HIGHLY suggest you prepare for this before you start on your install. You WILL need this to feed the amp properly.

[Rewarded Review] seems good,,specs not what stated here on best buy

seems ok. specs arent quite whats stated here.. 1st it will not take larger than 8g wire. i had to size down my 4g to be able to insert it into amp..2nd overall dimensions on here way off. amp is not 3 in tall. its 1.5 in . amp is tiny.. 3rd 1600 peak. not really. nor 900 rms @2ohm.. its enough thou to power 1 -8" or 10" sub.. all and all oks ok for 91$

worked for a while.....

had this in my truck powering two 12 alpine type S subs . one day i noticed the bass was gone and subs were not firing . the amp lights up still like it is getting power . i pulled the fuses to see if they were burnt out and they were fine so I put them back in . started up the truck and the subs were going again for about 30 seconds until i turned up the volume slightly then again just gone . . . . amp still has power, everything seems fine but just doesnt work . I guess for the price even if it lasts a year its not bad but it is not great . also the built in crossover can't be set very low so may be an issue for you if your head unit doesnt have one built in .
