This is by far one of the most powerful 500 watt amps ever!!! I had it hooked up 2 2Audiobahn Eternal Series Subwoofers. These subs are 1100 rms watts (2200 max watts)each thats 2200rms and 4400 max watts. It pushed them finee for about 1 1/2 months then it blew. These subs where to much for it. But the eternal are really good subs and i made this amp work hard. If u have some subs that are a good brand and put out anywhere from 1000rhs watts to 3000rhs watts this is the amp to go with. You cant beat the price.

This is one of the best amps I have ever owned. Durability and power are like no other 500watt in its class. I purchased this same amp from a local shop and spent $315 I wish I had seen it here when I bought mine. This is truly an exceptional value.

For those of you that are unfamiliar with Memphis you will soon be seeing alot more from them! I bought one of these at my local audio shop about 5 months ago and I was amazed at what was coming from this compact "power-house"!!!! Memphis is not like "Pyle" or "Pyramid" who highly overrate their products and mention "MAX POWER" ratings that mean absolutely nothing, Memphis, in my book, is up their competing with high-end car audio companies, such as "JL Audio" and "Rockford Fosgate". I highly reccomend you pick one of these up!
I suggest wiring it at 1 0hm for optimal performance.
