I strongly reccomend this amp.... i have it wired to 2 pioneer champion series subs and it lifts it perfectly but theirs a downside the amp heats up after 3 hours of continious playing at max power make sure you have the 4gauge wireing kit so it shuts off before it burns the amps fuses so far im still happy with it lets see how long it lasts me

After 6 hours of use pushing 2 kicker L5 15's at 1700 watts and 2 ohms it stayed cool didnt heat up at all. It pushes all 1700 watts. This is an amazing amp for the price and it has a very good frequencey range and high low pass controls. I love it and it powers my subs amazing. Definitely buy it.
