I have 2 Zvx-15's, Vx1-super tweeters, and Skv2-4500.1 amp. I am totally satisfied with Skar products and the price. Thanks Skar audio

Skar #1 in my book

I had one last these and it blew after like a week but skar was very quick with the warranty process and got me my replacement back to me after about a week and a half and the new one has had 0 issues after a couple months

Haven't had any problems with my new amp

Wish only I had gotten 1 ohm subs to use more of this amp  but sounds good on these ZVX 12 DV2ohm better get a good box when you have this and be able to supply enough power with high output alternator

Super banging

The last review I did my 4500 wasn’t installed, It’s now installed and it’s a monster!!!

Updated review!!!

I originally had 1 zvx 12 2ohm. Bought 2 1ohm subs and them bought my wife a zvx15 2ohm. Wish  I went with 15s . But I took to long building the box.  I'm a week passed the return date! But I did have the rp2000.1d. 
Bought the sk4500 for my 12s and a sk3500 for the wife. She has the sdr12s bundle in her other vehicle along with all the 6x9 and 6x8s. I'm gonna see if I can sell the subs at a loss just to get 15s.

Have all skar in 4 vehicles going on 5

I'm digging the quality of the subs and amp. I can't wait to install the new setup. I have already upgraded the big 3 and alternator. Next up is to install the subwoofer and amp and set the frequency/gains properly to hear the power.

Erick Lewis

Awesome quality sub and amp

Have the 4500 on 4 12’s in a forth order box. The absolute truth. Well worth it

Summary:  Highly recommend.  Excellent price, excellent performance.  Paired with the right subwoofers, a strong source of power, and a well-tuned enclosure, you will be glad you bought Skar.
~~~~~
Story time:  I had been delightfully pleased by my first Skar setup that included 2 SDR-12's fed by an RP-800.1D, which served as a positive first step into the "more-than-a-walmart-sub-thrown-in-the-trunk" build (which, for many of us, is where the passion for bass first began).  So after putting in serious time and doing my homework, I planned how I was going to take this hobby to the next level.

A wall with 2 18's was the goal, and being able to move some air would be icing on the cake.  So I drew sketches, watched videos, played with the numbers, played with the numbers again until I learned to love the math, compared the specs, and finally I made the plunge and purchased the equipment and materials to do the build.  This amplifier, paired with two ZVXv2-18's, installed in an enclosure whose design I spent meticulous hours refining, powered by the appropriate level of electrical -- all these elements looked good on paper, so I went to work.

The hardest part was building the enclosure, as I had zero woodworking experience and owned some rather basic tools along with whatever else lay around in the garage.  BUT, don't let the lack of tools discourage you; take your time, work with what you have if you're living on a budget, and learn along the way.  That being said, I worked slowly and finished building the box over the course of 2 months.  The subwoofers jumped into their new home, the SKv2-4500.1D joined hands with the subs and power source, and... it didn't sound right...

I had listened to bass long enough that I could tell something was off.  It sounded as though the subs were being under-powered, and doubts that came with my inexperience caused me to question things that were beyond my understanding: something wrong with the h/o alternator? the battery? the pcm voltage regulator? not enough power to the amp? was the amp a dud?  So I ended up spending money on upgrades which appeared to yield no results.

...a year and a half later... after thinking I wasted so much with this build, my wife convinced me not to give up.  So I found an educated, car audio business owner who brought me back to the basics.  I pulled out the subwoofers and... "Oh..." I had the subs wired out of phase.  Let me say, after fixing the wiring that day, it was as though the heavens opened and God said, "let there be music for the neighbourhood to hear."  And thus, the neighbourhood heard music.

I've been enjoying the windshield-flexing, rear-view-mirror-disrupting, hair-trick-air-pushing, chest-rending bass ever since.  Ahh, the long wait was not in vain, and I have learned much along the way.  Now it's time to reap the rewards from my first experience in building an extreme car audio system.

My system:
- 1x Skar SKv2-4500.1D amplifier
- 2x Skar ZVXv2-18 subwoofers
- 2x Skar FSX65 mids
- 2x Skar VX200-ST tweeters
- Singer 250a alternator
- Optima Yellowtop D34/78 battery
- Kenwood DPX302U head unit
- Skar wiring & fuses

PS: my wife is the real MVP.

I gave my money to Skar.  Now my car is loud.  Highly recommend.

Great looking amplifier! This amplifier is heavy as hades but great sound quality and all around best amplifier owned. It not only does the job but doesn’t break a sweat while doing it. 

Nick

The beauty and the beast

I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. This boy has gobs of power and rarely gets hot. It’s running 2 reconed ZVX 15’s. Gonna buy a second one soon.

Jay Shook

This amp is a beast!

This amp is a fokn beast.
I put dual inputs on the dual inputs.
It pushes my VXFs & doesn't even warm up. I will be adding more later. It's better to have to much power than bot enough.
I've heard a lot of systems but this slams & I even put them in a sealed box.
It's supreme SQ. The rubbery bass is like nothing I've ever heard.
Take the plunge, buy it & get-er-done.

Barry Lawrence

It's a mofon MONSTER!

I've had different set ups in different cars but 3 ZVX 12's on the SK v2 4500 is insane

Joe carder

Skar SK v2 4500.1

Can't wait to see what these two surf boards can do to these four skar vxf 12s that I also purchased

Skv2.4500

Love every single thing I have bought from them.  I have a 95 chevy tahoe.  With two 15 zvx and two 12 zvx. Got to say. It's the hardest hitting system I have EVER own

Scott ....... D

Love there products

I have 2 ZVX 15’s running off a SK4500 and when I switched from 2 RP2K’s to the SK4500 it was night and day difference. Now I need a bigger vehicle and add 2 more 15’s and another 4500.

Worth the money ?

Got 2 of these 4500.1d amps and gave 1 to kid he is running 2 b2 audio 18s and they slam hard at 155db im running 6 ddx 12s and its the best i have ever had people knock Skar for the price they are the best

Joshua Weis

Couldn't ask for more

I got 4 zvx 15s on 2 of these big sk4500 and it gets down just nice amps very big heavy but nice

Love it

I purchased this amp and two EVL 18s in a fourth-order wall, and it absolutely slams the lows. Previously, I had one 18 on an RP2K, and the improvement in sound quality is definitely noticeable, especially with low notes.
