Yet to Install

This is my first amplifier buy off sonicelectronix.com, shipping was fast and product came in perfect condition. This this looks and feels great, feels solid and not cheap.

Notes:
-Power terminals will accept wire up to 5mm in diameter, I measured myself and that is an accurate measurement.
-Width with end caps: 11"
-Width without end caps : 9"

I'm going to rate 5 stars for now, because the only complaint I have, which is not even a big deal, but is that the gain/level/hpf/lpf/bass boost adjusters aren't flush with the side of the amp but instead are recessed about 2mm, I'll write another review of this amp after I install it and use it for a bit.
