I recommend it cause its pretty true to its claimed power ratings, it's decently priced, and its power per dollars ratio is nice too. 400 watts RMS for around 100 or so dollars is hard to find when it comes to sticking to a name brand.
Now for what I don't like about the amp is the bass boost. It is only off, halfway up, or on max. I can't stand that... and it gets hot (but mine is under a seat with no fan which I'll add soon)
Mine is pushing two 12" svc MTX 4500's each in a .8 cubic foot sealed enclosure. This amp easily over powers them without clipping. I'm only using 8 gauge wires which will soon change too.
I hope this helped you all!
