Great amp! Lights up with blue LED's. very functional x-over dials. It takes some playing around with to figure out what each one does. but I figured it out by playing with it while listening to my subs. I'm powering 2x 15 mega sound subs in a sealed box for the lows. And 2x duals in a band pass box for the mids/highs. of the low freq. sounds great not much problem with heating but then again I almost never blast it to full volume. usually low to mid volume. Speaker level/ high level in puts.

Power and speaker terminals are face down and are kind of tight to the bottom of the amp so big wires and clearance can be an issue.
