I have a stock 90amp alternator and I have ZERO dimming, or much voltage drop for that matter.

This amp is super efficient and sounds great. I upgraded from a Hifonics HFi A/B amp bridged to 400W RMS, and wow what a difference. So much more detail and sound, especially at lower volumes now. It's like night and day. I would definitely recommend this, and I am even considering getting a V-Power for my fronts too.

Customer Testimonial

I ordered in advance because I assumed the shipping would take at least a few days when I chose the cheapest option. Instead, the guys shipped my order through ontrac, which delivered on the NEXT DAY! This is simply amazing, thanks!
