Perfect Amp

I purchased my amp as the refurbished unit from sonicelectroinx. I am using it bridged pushing a kicker TC10. It works great and the bass knob remote is awesome! It runs cool enough to sit under my driver seat and was easy and quick to tune. The amp feels good to hold as well, not too light that it feels cheap and the plastics feel sturdy. I used the installbay ak8 wiring kit which was a great deal for the pure fact it included the speaker wire. I used the boss B65N to connect the amp to my radio. I have everything hooked up to my stock infinity acoustic 10 in my town and country van. I could not be more happier.
