September 8, 2011 Best Amp I've Ever had......

Bought this amp to replace my aging sony xplode 1200 watt amp. I had 3 older 12 inch kenwood 600 watt max subs that sounded great with this amp put of course they couldn't handle the power. so I got 2 new 12 inch Boss audio subs that handle 2300 watts each, they bang harder than any 2 subs ive ever heard!!! and they still can't handle the 3200 watts rms this amp is putting out!!! they pop and crack when the bass hitts at high volume. I thought it was just cheap subs, so.... My buddy has 4 Orion HCCA102 10" Dual 2 ohm Sub woofers 3000 Watts Max each. We ran A speaker wire from my amp to his car, and they seemed to be A perfect match!!! Keep in mind, I have A dodge stratus with standard alt, no capacitor, no extra battery. My lights dont dim no more than they did with my 1200 watt sony explode amp. This amp is just awesome!!!!! I would definitely recommend this amp to anyone that wants A good amp at A great price.

This is a great amp for a great price. This is a good example of most bang for your buck. I have had this amp for 6 months and had no problems. It is pushing two 10s and one 12 rockford fosgate power series with no problem. It could push more without any trouble.
