Awesome!

I've been in to car audio since the mid 80's, worked as an installer through high school and college. Never spent this much money on any single piece of car audio equipment, but I'm glad I did. Powering three way Hertz Mille Pro components up front and JL coaxs in the rear. More power than I need for sure (wish they made a 40w x 8 version, for like $1000 or something). Using the (DSP processed!) pre-outs to feed a sub amp. JL TuN software on my laptop and REW with a calibrated mic for EQ worked great (time consuming, but fun!). Setting the delays really cleaned up the imaging and just makes a WORLD of difference on how good your system sounds. High, low, and band pass crossover capability on all channels (including the pre-outs)! All of that in a very compact package. Amp seems incredibly efficient and not too taxing on my electrical system (no headlight dimming!). I'm sure that the Mille Pros help, but I've never heard such crisp vocals and musical detail in a car system before. Be sure to get the JL DRC so you can switch between presets and adjust sub level. I love it!

A game changer

This amplifier is a game changer. I eliminated a large box full of power and signal cables and freed up a lot of space by changing my separate Twk88 DSP and Pioneer PRS amplifier to my vi800/8i. This amplifier is so tiny yet sounds so good and frees up so much space which eliminates significant wiring cost. A notable difference is the bluetooth module that allows me to tune with my iPad and I love that. No more clumsy bulky laptop with cables strung across my vehicle that I have to tuck and hide. The sound qaulity is phenomenal and the amplifier is dead silent during quite passages. The Tun software is very user friendly and offers all the power I need to get what I want with power to spare. The old argument that class A/B is better than class D is a myth. I've tested many amplifiers on my test bench as a double blind A vs B test using my home audio Kef speakers and 110 amps of ATS power supplies. I devised a way to swap amplifiers within a few seconds and perfectly level matched them using REW and a microphone. Conclusion, one class AB sounded awesome, several sounded great, one sounded bad. One class D sounded just as good as the best class AB and several sounded very good. I didn't test this vxi in that test but I don't need to. I can tell already it sounds amazing and replicates the finest details too.

Good, but not the best.

I've have this amp running a set of Focal KRX2 components up front and Hertz Mille coaxials in back of a 2017 Ford F-150, with a JL Fix-86 converting the OEM Sony amp's output to RCA. I'm bridging 2 channels for the Focal mids, and sending two channels to the Focal tweeters, and two channels to the Milles, all run active with no passive crossovers. The good...The sound is incredibly crisp, loud and clean, and the amp doesn't dim my headlights or seem to otherwise stress the truck's electrical system. The amp is also relatively compact and was easy to install behind the rear seat, on a custom rack that sits where the old factory sub was. The bad... the sound is simply missing the warmth that a high quality Class A/B amp provides. Vocals lack depth and fullness, and the snare drums in rock seem a little lacking to me. With compressed sources like Spotify or MP3, these weaknesses are more apparent than with CDs. So this amp is definitely less forgiving than a good A/B amp would be, when the source isn't at least cd quality. I experienced this same thing in the past with an old Alpine PDX-5, (but the Alpine was definitely far worse). So the VXI series is definitely a Big step forward in D class technology, but if you're a true audiophile I would recommend a class A/B from Zapco, Focal, or Audison, etc. Heck even the old Alpine V12 amps or the Memphis PR series sounded better, and those can be found for a couple hundred bucks used. If SQ is the goal, go A/B

Jl Audio has done it again!!

Clarity image quality and sound staging is absolutely incredible. The Tun software is a little confusing. Only because it was new to me. Learning curve lol. Love this amplifier in every way.

Big Sound Little Package

This amp is an absolute beast. Right now I have it bridged to run my front and rears and I'm using the pre outs going into my sub amp so I have complete control over everything. The sound is AMAZING.

Love it!

I LOVE this Amp! I mostly love that the fact that I can easily route and control everything from my phone using TUN Mobile app. Still looking for an available DRC-205 Remote, though......... Wish the price was a slightly less expensive, but overall this is awesome. For the price I feel like it should have more watts.

An audiophile's dream

Outstanding amplifier/DSP. I'm using this to run my entire system and couldn't be happier. I've got this pushing 2 way front components, rear coaxials and a 12" ported sub. The sound is clear, detailed and powerful. It fits easily under the driver's seat of my Honda Accord. And it's got a pair of preouts (with DSP processing) to feed an external amp if needed. The TuN software has all the features you'll ever need and is setup in a straightforward, logical interface. It's not cheap but it will take your system to another level.
