The amp has plenty of power. The amp is pushing a Bostin Acoustic 10 inch in the trunk of my 2001 Mustang GT and it sounds great. I have the amp turned down because of the amount of power it pushes, so I am sure it will push a much bigger sub-woofer. The only thing I can say about it that isn't super positive is that the amp is a little long, so make sure you look at the specs. It would not fit under my seat.

Paired with component Momo's in the front and Mobile Monitors in the rear, this amp blasts the speakers without an OUNCE of distortion. Crisp, clear and LOUD. Reproduces signals with great accuracy! A must have!

I've had this amp for about two weeks now and it is very amazing. It's pushing a pair of db6501 and db691. Very nice, cool, quiet and clean. This gives all of the speakers all the power. This amp is B.I.G.!! (which is good because it distributes the heat well). It makes my honda accord sound superbad!
