Picked up one of these bad boys at wal**rt about a year ago. This amp is a beast for the size. 800 watts does not get any more powerful than this.
If you are looking for a good quality amp and a decent price, this is it.

I replaced a kicker amp with this and very happy with it. Good power and it sounds very nice for a fraction of what the kicker amp costs.
