I have this powering 2 Boston Acoustic G210 subs wired in parallel (2 ohms) Spec sheet says at least 450W.
Amp is built solid and has LPF and bass boost adjustments. Runs cool and sounds great without letting up.
Wired it up with a 4-gauge let.
Not quite as nice as the Power Series but very good.

I bought this amp because of the price. It was half of what any retailer wanted for the same product. The customer service was even better. I even bought subwoofers too as a result of the first experience. Nothing but excellent service and quality in both transactions. I highly reccomend Sonic Electronix.com to anyone looking for electronic equipment.

RF has very solid amp designs. No issues what so ever. I think RF was one of the last car audio companies to send manufacturing overseas which I thought was kind of sad because they were one of the few native made amps. I've owned high end Orion, and a bunch of copy cats Power Acoustik, Clarion, Kenwood, etc and you do get what you pay for.
