First off i must say that shipping took forever. As far as the amp goes its really good. Have it pushing two 12" kicker comps and they're really slamming. I heard bad things about Sony car audio stuff so i took a risk with getting this amp. It was well worth it, gives my subs some clean, rich, deep bass. I would definitely recommended this product!

I have used this amp for over three years, I had it pushing two Rockford Fosgate P2s, pushed them verrryy nice, did shut off like twice, After those 12s were stolen :/, I had it pushing a 12" Rockford P3, which is worked soo good, never shut off, or overheated. Now I have it, yes a 800 watt amp, pushing three 12" kicker comps. Pushed very well. It does get hot, but hasn't cut off. Great amp for the price.

i bought this amp somewhere else and i have 2 12" pioneer ts-w302r subs at 2 ohms and this amp pushes them very well, but the down fall is that it gets hot very quickly and it shuts off after playing for 20 minutes and the amp is only turned half way up, so this amp will be ok if you play it for a couple minutes but i would not recommend this amp to anyone.

I've got this baby wired to two 10" Kicker CompVR (800W RMS and 1600W MAX combined!). They're wired at 2-ohms in bridge and let me tell you, this amp can push them!
