This amp is a great hard hitting amp. I bought it six months ago. Put it in my 530i BMW it hits so hard the trunk ratters out of frequency. I don't like the bass frequency. Hifonic should use the Autotek crossover in this BXi. The price is good!!! Add a two or four way kicker crossover you'll love it more. Ricky aka Rap Dad-de SA,Tx.
