Customer Testimonial

I first found this service on eBay and bought some 6.5" Rockford Fosgate speakers. Within a day if not sooner I had an email that said it had been shipped, awesome. So they came in, brand new, box was not damaged or anything. These guys are on to something. These guys are the best!

Installed this Amp 07/22/2010 and used it through last boating season. It does produce medium to high heat, so be sure to install in a location where the is good air circulation. I have my TV, Receiver and PS3 running through this Amp and it all sounds great

I used to have this sub in my boat but one of the channels is no longer functioning. I have had it for about a year and after about a month one of the channels makes static the whole time. I had to buy a new Amp because of this and i wouldn't recommend this product to another.
