impressive

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.
