I got this as a gift to replace another 5ch amp not worth mentioning (CEA rated amps are really worth getting). Enough power to run 2 sets of Polk db6501 components and 2 10" Polk MM subs in a 1.2ci sealed box. Just make sure to tune your amp and you'll get loud clean distortion free music out of this little thing. I would highly recommend this if you're in the market for a 5ch amp.
