This was the first amp i got and it surpassed all of my expectations, i had it power two old school pg's wired down to 2 ohms and they slammed! I had no problems with the amp what so ever, and i played the music almost all the way up, give enough space for the amp to breath wire it right and it wont do you wrong, i would highly recommend this product especially if your looking for something worth more than what you paid! :P
