If you are just looking for noise then I'm sure you can find a cheaper amp but this is a very high quality amplifier which has a lot of output and is pretty easy on your wallet too. I bought this amp about 3 years ago and had it in my old honda civic hooked up to a rockford he2 sub. The sound was incredible. I could barely use my rear view mirror in my car because of the vibration. Even though this amp is rated at 400 rms at 2 ohms I have blown 2 consecutive rockford he2 subs each rated at 400 watts rms and 800 peak. Like i said this amp puts out a lot of juice. Now i have it hooked up to a phoenix gold xenon series sub rated at 500 rms and i'm hoping it doesn't blow the sub since it has so much power.
I have over heated the amp a few times on my 2 1/2 hour drive to college and it will shut off but when it cools and turns back on it's perfectly fine...if this happens just give it some air to help cool it off
I purchased the Clarion CMRC1-BSS. The purchase went through smoothly. Sonic Electronix kept me informed on when it left the warehouse and how long it would take. They were spot on with all communications. They also wanted to know if their service met my expectations. Hell Yeah....and then some.
