I bought this amp as a replacement for a Kicker amp that died on me. This amp puts out more power relative to its size and looks much better imo. I will def try other powerbass products now.

Good little amp, I bought one from a local retailer and this things just bumps. It's hooked up to a 12" Kicker CVR at 4 ohms. Slows pretty well I'd say. Might have to get another one to see what it can really do. If your looking for a solid little amp, this would be it.

To be honest, this amp is amazing. clean signal, very very very well built, etc. my only gripe is that the power input block WILL NOT accept true 4 Gauge wire. 6 or 8 seems to be as big as it can handle.

On another note, I purchased two subwoofers from a friend today. He had them each wired in parallel, and I only hooked one subwoofer up. Much to my amazement, the amp did power the one 12" Audiobahn. however, I noticed that the sub is a dual 4 ohm model, since the voicecoils were connected in parallel, this amp was successfully pushing a 2 ohm load... AND HARD!!!

I do not condone connecting the amp this way, however its nice to know it can despite Powerbass saying it can't.

This amplifier is amazing, sounds awesome, and pushes one Audiobahn AW1251T with ease... lets see how it can push two of them

Customer Testimonial

I called from Brazil and I spoke to a very nice salesman named Justin, who helped me out finding the best speakers and amplifiers for my ride.
He gave me several tips. You guys got the best prices I could find online and your tech support is awesome. Thanks and keep on doing this great job.
