Ive had one of these for about 3 years now started out using it on midrange then i upgraded to some crazy loud pro audio 8 ohm band mids which are like 250W RMS each so I switched the amp over to my tweeters this amp is clean just as clean as the Alpine PDX-F4 and can run on as low as 10.5 volts surprisingly it never gets hot at all!! Im not a scientist but i think this amp is well power rated and is great for its price!!

This is a great amp I have it bridged to two channels pushing two Power Acoustik PEN-12W in a custom bandpass box and they pound I also have another stacked going into 4 Infinity full range speakers, I recommend an equalizer for a setup like mine tho otherwise your gonna have a hell of a time setting things up I have a Boss AVA-1204 7-Band Equalizer and everything sounds amazing!!!! I highly recommend this amp mainly because it can be stacked, it sounds great, and its affordable.

This amp is amazing and its half the price of the big brands and is rated for more power and it puts it down.

Pros
- They are stackable
- The price is great for budget builds
- Has the quality of a high end amp
- The amp board mounts to a aluminum plate which acts a heat sink
- Runs very cool
- Puts out clean power

Cons
- Doesn't have hex terminal screws

Great purchase. The clarity of this amp is excellent, and it's not even turned all the way up. If I turn it half way, WOW!!! Ear piercing sound. A recommended purchase to all. BTW, you need to have a 4 way RCA cable to run a 4 way sound system and make sure your deck has a 4 way plus your sub. Luckily I researched this. I did not know that.
