Holy S***!!!!!

Damn! For an amp this size to pound as loud as it does is crazy! Its only a 500 watt amp but I have it pushing 2 12" CVR woofers (400 RMS a piece) so hard I had to turn the gain down cause I thought I might blow them up! Excellent buy!

It's ok

It wasn't for me. I needed something that was going to make some real deep bass. If u just want to amp up your music then this would be the amp to get. But not if you need some car rattling bass.

RE audio

Sick amp when i opened up the box i wasnt sure the amp would push enough considering it is the size of a small note book but it pounds HARD!

Great product

I have this amp powering 1 dc audio level 2 m2 running at 1ohm and this amp does not get hot.
Would be nice if crossfire would add a subsonic filter

great amp

This amp is amazingly powerful, pushes the subs i have (2 Rockford Fosgate R2D4-12's) at 250RMS per sub at 2ohms wired up to 4 at the subs. It has a crazy amount of sustained power. This amp is sleek and EXTREMELY small for the amount of power it puts out. I have even placed in the top 10 at audio comps with this amp alone. Must buy if its fits for your subs. I have had it for 6 months, and not 1 second of hesitation from this amp, and I dont take it easy on my system.
