I am using this amp at 2 ohms powering a single12 IDQ 4 v3
It seems to do a pretty good job.
I was also considering the Alpine PDX-M6, Both amps have about the same foot-print as I needed something small to mount under my seat.
The alpine is rated at 100 rms more then this amp @ 2ohm
I just could not justify spending $100 more for the extra power.
The IDQ is rated at 450 rms Max and this amp pushes 400 rms.
So it does a nice job.

I was a bit disappointed in the fact the the amp is made in China.
But I found a ton of other name brands also using China.

The only Con on this amp is the Terminals are phillips screws instead of allen heads and you have to careful not to strip them.
