Customer Testimonial

I would like to take time to comment on a rep by the name of Ryan M, he was so helpful in my situation. I purchased an amp which was advertised as remote bass control included but when item arrived no bass knob. I let Sonic Electronix know about this they never hesitated to make it right.

I had one of these on two 12" Rockford Fosgate Punch P2 subwoofers, but my subs were continually blowing (thought it was the subs, but the shop that installed my amp screwed it up). So anyway I got two 12" Earthquake Sound TremorX subs and this amp couldn't power even one of these subs
