I bought this amp awhile ago it is pretty clean once it is set up right. The only problem I have with this amp is that it heats up quite fast and it distorts with the level nob past 1/2. I am powering a 12 polk at 4 ohms bridged.

this is a good amp for its size. but it does not have enough power for my 2 10in power basses. they draw to much from the amp and kicks it off. but if you are lookin for a good amp for just one speaker this is the best

This was my first amplifier install, it went very smoothly, hooked up the speaker wire, RCAs, ground, power, remote wire, tested the power fuse w/the fuse out of the amp, then plugged in the fuse and it turned on, no prob. I have it hooked up bridged 4ohms, to a 10"Kicker Truck Sub with the level at about half in my 97'F150 and it hits really hard :D

Have this amp pushing 1 polk 10" sub nicely, and could possibly push 2 more 8" subs w/very little effort. Good quality amp for the price, not bad for 4 ohm speakers......

amazing little amp, it, along with several other crunch amps I have owned, have been pushed to their limits for long periods of time, and have never failed me once.
