This amp is powerful for it's size. It is underrated and goes beyond expectation. My amps birthsheet tested at 116 x 4 channels and 414w for the sub. This is only recommended for those wanting to upgrade their system without having to purchase two seperate amplifiers. It pushes clean power and has amazing sound if matched with good speakers and sub. I returned the PDX-5 to purchase the PDX-F6 and MRX-M1000, because I needed way more power than this can give. It would shut off and go into protective mode. This is a good amp, and highly recommended for those who just want to upgrade their systems for quality sound inside the car, but if you want to annoy your fellow citizens, I suggest going with two separate amplifiers... make sure it's an Alpine amp these are great.

Really nice power amp in a small package. The signal was clear and power was continous. Only issue was after moderate listeining my amp went into a protected mode, I have no idea why. So as of right now I'm in limbo for power. Go figure.

I bought this amp for use in my work car. It is powering Boston Acoustics S50 components, Boston Acoustics S55's, and a Boston Acoustics G210-44 subwoofer in a sealed enclosure. It sounds really clean and it is quite loud enough for me. I would recommend it to anyone who wants an amp that can do everything all in one and doesn't want to put a lot of strain on their alternator. It is also very compact and runs pretty cool.
