Someone will get a 75% done bass van with your signature on it! Kinda sad to see it go, it would have been one for the history books on the cars you have fondled over the years!

    I've been a subscriber of the ol soundman since Amplified was in the old shop and you guys were doing installs on peoples cars. It was right when you went from the original shop then moved to the last shop your dad's company was in. Just like back then I subscribed because you and your guys were funny as hell and had a great working relationship that showed on camera. Things have changed for sure, but I still watch because your humor is refreshing and your "advice" is solid. Unlike your prior business plan, that shit was liquid. Not solid at all... Anyway! Doesn't matter what cars or projects you have I watch because of you Doug and I'd say most of us do the same so do what you gotta do and I know Ill still be a loyal soundman fan!!!

      I had it installed for about six months, and you're right, it made a shit-ton of power! It wasn't the cleanest, but far from bad.
      Unfortunately the sub channel stopped working on mine so I had to RMA the thing. NVX took care of me, and sent me a new (not refurbished) amp. I didn't want to wait and couldn't go without music for that long so I bought a Kenwood XR901-5. Fits under my seat better, cleaner power, and still slams.
      With all that said, I would not hesitate to order any NVX product in the future.
