I have this amp in my party bus. Pushing 10 - 6.5’s and 2 -12’s. And it gets pushed to the absolute max. Runs wide open hours on hours at at time. Still running strong 2 years later.

[@hemiram007]

I’ve had this amp for over a year and have zero complaints!

[@Junior_Meat]

Installed this amp a couple days ago, along with the NVX XSP 6.5 components and a couple Alpine coax that were already in the rear deck. 5th channel pushing the rest to a 12 inch sub in 2 ohm config. Sounds great so far. Nice and clear. Better than my previous pioneer 5 channel. The XSPs are nice but they're a bit big, especially the tweeter.

[@ericormosen1167]

Just installed this amp in my Can Am X3, its powering four Polk Audio 6.5's and a Skar VD 8" sub (very compact space, only had room for a single 8 under the passenger seat). So far it sounds fantastic and other than the obvious bass limitations of a single 8" subwoofer in a fairly small enclosure, I'm totally happy with it. Seems to make plenty of power cuz its EARSPLITTING loud, and the little sub flexes like crazy. So lets hope it lasts because it will get bumped/banged/vibrated/splashed/dirty on every outing.

[@barnes29510]

Polk Audio, do they put out pretty good subs? Thanks

[@HifiVega]

@@grandoFAST let me know what you think about it when it’s installed

[@grandoFAST]

@HifiVega I ended up with an NDA501. I love the stealth looks of this amp, and it certainly can push the Kappa Sub and the Primus Components beyond their limits. I'm dealing with a slight ground loop issue but besides that, awesome amp!

[@scribbyj]

I started out with 2 of the prior NVX JAD 900.5's. I ran one on the left and one on the right. The sub channels to 4 NVX 8'S. Bridged 2 channels to the 8's in my doors and channels 3 & 4 to the mids and tweeters. Back then i had a Dayton DSP 408 and it was a pretty damn good start to learn about DSP tuning and an active front stage. Those older ones you could turn off the on board crossovers, i am not sure you can do that with the newer ones. Great video buddy.

[@HifiVega]

I don’t think you can turn the crossover off on the 5 channel, but that’s always a nice feature

The angle screw's on the terminals make it to where the screw does not press down on the wire evenly. I have seen many issues where the wires don't fasten down properly.

I am running the NVX VAD11005 on my boat and it has went the whole extreme hot Texas boating season so im impressed. My question is the NVX amps Clean power? Does your dyno tell you that information?

[@HifiVega]

You can tell that with the DD-1, but honestly if I can’t hear the difference by ear (distortion wise) I don’t even bother and this one sounded just like every other 5 channel I’ve used recently as I stated in the video Kenwood, Alpine etc

How does this compare to the model prior

[@perjian1697]

This amp does play great and is solid. But im still not a fan of digital amps for mids and highs. Class d is great for bass but for those with an ear tuned to class a/b for decades now, youll hear the difference when a class d is running the mids. Having said that, most people will not hear a difference and it's still a very good amp! The kenwood excelon 5 channel is a 4 channel a/b with a class d for 5th channel all on 1 chassis and is a small foorprint.

[@robertcsims]

The result of the 2ohm subwoofer channel of 777 Watts output and 86amp is this the peak current draw from the battery? Do you record the voltage output and the amperage output to the subwoofer? I see videos with 12 and 14 gauge subwoofer wires, and want to understand the appropriate wire gauge for the subwoofer based on the output.

[@HifiVega]

The 86 amp draw will be a draw on your total system. Alt, battery etc… There are ampacity and wattage charts you can search for online for speaker and power wire.

[@robertcsims]

@@HifiVega NVX support states for the 5 channel Sub out. voltage output at 2 ohms will be 48.9 AC. The amperage will 12.26 amps and will require 14 AWG with a length of 6 feet.

[@luan7437]

Purchased this amp to replace my Rockford PM1000x5 that got water damaged by my fault. Got this unit because the stats and price looked right. For starts, the speakers terminals are cheap and the screw head is very soft and will easily get worn. The sound quality is far inferior to the PM1000x5, not sure if it is just the fact of being a class D, but there is a lack of mid bass on the speakers, has to fiddle with the EQ to get some adjustments, but nowhere near what I had with the RF. It is a budget buy, but I would much prefer the sound quality of the prior system on the same speakers.

[@HifiVega]

All valid points. That RF is a class leading amp and roughly 3x the price.

[@luan7437]

@@HifiVega agree, have always been a RF fan, but have been a fan of your channel and Big D and wanted to try some of the new amps. Nothing wrong with this amp, just my hears prefer the RF, that is why for my new boat build I went all out RF and used the T-10004AD to run my mids and highs and a M5-1000x1 for the subs.
