So this is kind of late, seeing that this amp has been discontinued and you can no longer buy this model, but I love talking this one up that much. I use to work at a memphis audio authorized dealer and this is the amp that we used more than anything else. For the amount of value you get out of this amp you can't find a single 1000w monoblock that compares. Memphis is known to throw more than expected with their products and this amp is one to prove that this company doesn't take short cuts. I ran this on a single mojo 12, multiple sets of memphis PR series woofers, two C3 series woofers, and countless other setups that wired to one ohm and this amp pushed anything I threw at it without breaking a sweat. I HIGHLY recommend if you have a local dealer still sitting on one of these, or if you can find one online somewhere BUY IT, because this is a solid amp well worth the money. Also it looks great and easy to wire up.

I have this pushing a single Alpine Type R 12" at 2ohm in tuned custom enclosure, full Memphis Power Reference Coax speakers in all doors powered by M Class 200W multi-channel, so my focus is SQ more than SPL. Gotta say this amp slams my sub perfectly at 600W. If I want to show off I have plenty of headroom to turn heads.



Great value for the money
