This amp is impressive. It has plenty of power. I am running all three stages on this amp. Focal triple components up front, focal 6x9 in the rear, You can't go wrong on this amp. P.S. get the wired jl audio bass remote, it will save you time tuning and provide control after your install is done.

Customer Testimonial

I am so impressed with the quality of service, value and customer support provided by Sonic. In the past I have always purchased from C*********d and felt good about it until I found Sonic. Thanks for the savings on both my new Pioneer AVH 4300 and Rockford Fosgate Prime 1000.
