I have this hooked up to 2 Fosgate 12 P2s and they hit hard. I have the amp hooked up to a separate 12 volt battery in the trunk. It definitely has more power then can be forced through the speakers. It gets pretty hot though. After an hour or so of blasting those 12s the bass cuts out too not sure if that is due to heat or maybe just the extra battery and my cars stock charging system can't keep up with the load.

Besides the heat and the occasional cut off I really like the bass! My next bass amp though I am going to try something different ... but overall it is a good deal if you like monster bass at an affordable price.

Great buying experience, especially considering the difficulty I had with the first unit.

Thanks Larsen, you are the best!
