This little amp is awesome! The actual rating is 278 rms at 2 ohms. I have it paired with a Hifonics hfx12d4 and they hit hard! no joke. The amp itself is small so you can mount it wherever you want. If you're on a budget this amp is the way to go. It doesn't really heat up unless you have it at full power for long periods of time like I sometimes do. Once again I recommend this amp to anyone, you wont regret buying it.

A buddy of mine haz this hooked up to a Kicker comp 12. Its in a ported box & it pushes that sub just right. Not overbearing & does not drown out the highs. The settings are easy to use az well. Recommend for a nice beginners setup.

I havent had this amp long, but i have a cheap 15" subwoofer on it and it plays awesome. No heat so far and its the same size as the more powerful kicker amps so i can upgrade to a bigger amp and keep it in the same location. I am a fan of kicker amps and subs, but their speakers are annoying. I will review the kicker 3 way 6" x 9" next. Oh yeah, mine came with the bass knob.
