Sound is fine, runs cool, and seems to be generally a good amp in terms of amplification. The physical package is terrible though. The terminals do not grasp the wire, are oddly positioned, and require metric allen keys. The holes for mounting are deeply recessed in the plastic housing. The recess is wide at the bottom which allows screws and bolts to fall in sideways and take forever to retrieve. It is worth an extra 10 or 20 dollars to avoid the headache and get a comparable amp designed with consideration for installation.
