Great amp. I hid it behind the seats in my crewcab..barely fit! It sounds great and has plenty of power. This is my second DEI amp; my first lasted 5 years and was installed in 3 vehicles, so they can stand up to long term abuse. Great value.

At first I was having problems with this shutting off suddenly, but it was because my alternator couldn't supply enough power to this beast! So make sure you throw in a capacitor if you're going to power this and you'll be set!
