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.
