I've had this amp for 7 years, but i put it in my expedition and it overheated but i had it for a long time in every car i had and didn't have any problems with it. Now im putting my own cooling fan on it so the friction from my carpet and the amp wont burn up. This is the greatest amp i had and i just ordered another one so i highly recommend this amp. This is a Great amp that last me 7 years and i just ordered another so im expecting this to last at least 10 years since i put my own cooling fan in now.

owned the amp for about a year. pretty nice for a off brand. does not have 1000w thou there measuring the peak not the RMS watts that you should. the rca inputs on mine got broken off and then got a better amp but it was a good first amp to hook up to a pair of subs. and i would advise someone to have this as their first but definitely not as an upgrade for anyone.

this amp is way better than a sony explode amp because it has a good range of settings. inc. bass boost and low/high pass filters.

only thing that could be better if this was CEA2006 compliant ( it is quite hard to find this amps rms and i forgot it by now but you can search the web)

I bought this Amp about a month ago and let me tell you, IT'S AWESOME!!!! I have 2 Kenwood kfc-w3012 12" subs hooked up to this Amp and it shakes everything around me. I can hear the car from 2 blocks away that's how powerful this amp is to make my subs be that loud. I would definitely recommend this amp to anyone.
