Great for speakers

I was a little leery of purchasing this, but did anyway thinking I would only be out 60. However, these are perfect for speakers. I have all four of my Alpine 6 x 8's hooked up to it. I put my front left and and back left through one port and the other two (right front and back through the other (considering the 2 channel amp, I just layed each on top and clamped, works perfect). The only con is the channel connections were poorly engineered. The wires took a while to hold in place and tighten but once I did they never have came out since. Sound quality is very great and surprising considering the price of the amp.

Good n Cheap

I am very impressed with the power of this amp considering its cheap price, I have it bridged to my 12 inch Memphis C3 sub and it pounds it, I've only had it a few days now but have been very impressed, only problem I've noticed is that it does get very hot, but has not caused it to go into protect or anything yet so we will see, so far I do recommend this amp

well worth the money

This amp actually is worth the money just got last week and hooked it up today to a Kenwood 10" and it sounds better than previous amps I've owned it could defiantly push some low watt 12's because it takes a lot to move my kenwood. It does get a little warm.

Good amp on a budget

Needed a cheap 2 channel amp for 3-way coaxial 6x9's. Had to overshoot on power since cheap amps are overrated, including this one. With the 30A fuse, it can only deliver 432W max @ 14.4 vehicle voltage. That would be ideal conditions.

Given that class A/B amps have about a 65% efficiency, realistic wattage is around 280W, or 140w per channel at its lowest rated impedance. I have 4 ohm speakers, so I expect about 70w per channel RMS from this amp, which it seems to deliver.

Output is loud and clean. High level (speaker) inputs are a great feature since I am using this with a factory GM deck. For the price, this is a good, versatile amp.

good

It's good or highs and mids, but bass isn't that good on it. I've had it for about a month with no real issues. I would buy again. I also love the look of it. Nice chrome look to it. Don't really get hot, but I do live in Tucson AZ and it really isn't hot yet so we will see.
