Dayton Audio SPA1000 1000W Subwoofer Plate Amplifier

So I purchased this to replace my Klispch 115 SWR amplifier after it died. The difference is night and day as far as features, build quality, and power goes. I doubt the Klispch stuff makes more than 250w with lightening as a power supply. This SPA 1000 is definately worth the price at about .50 per watt. Not too mention the clipping protection, great EQ, and AB class with a massive Xformer. I actually threw the Klipsch woofers in the trash where they belong and installed Sundown subs. The house is now powered with 3 of these amps on Sundowns in Klipsch enclosures. What a difference!

Hasta el momento tiene buen rendimiento con un par de 12', las mueve casi a reventar, me llama la tencion que hace un "pop" al encender y cuando esta a niveles altos se calienta espero sea normal... lo compre en oferta 7500 creo que fue un excelente precio. Lamentablemente hoy 14 de septiembre comenzó a meter ruido y tengo que llevarlo a reparar.

Product looks legit but it has serious ground humming and it cannot handle 1000 watt speaker at 4 ohms like it say. It cannot handle gain at half way without shutting off. I constantly have to turn it off and back on again for subwoofer to work. Also the automatic trigger turn on sometimes work sometimes doesn't. I tried everything from buying new rca shielded wires to plugging everything into same power conditioner outlet to using isolators. Nothing works.. I tried contacting them but no reply. I explained my problem not wanting to return it but to help me fix the problem and no answer. Just put out a little bit more money and get a Monolith 12 with none of these problems.

Used one of these 1000w amps with two 12" Polk Dxi subwoofers for a dyi home theater subwoofer. Pros : I really like the subwoofer controls and eq although I ended up using the LFE input which bypasses all controls except the gain. Very well built with a beefy transformer. Auto power on sensing seems to work well so far. Cons : Nasty "thump" when powering on(not when auto sensing though). Would be better if a 12v trigger option was offered.

Very clean sound, with no clipping or distortion. The on-board equalizer eliminated my 15" Cerwin-Vega subwoofer enclosure's reverberation excellently. It cut only a very narrow frequency band to cancel out the excessive cabinet vibration. I thought a 1,000 Watt peak amp would be louder, but this amplifier & subwoofer combo still significantly outperform both of my 15" 3-way C-V floor-standing speakers, so I guess I should be content. The three-some sound fabulous together. Definately a strong 4 stars for this Dayton plate amp.
