I've had this amp for about 2 years and its still running good. I had it running one 600watt dual. blew that. Now I have it running 2 boss phantom 12in @ 4ohm. My subs draw a lot of power from this amp and it stays running strong. It gets hott after about an hour of straight pounding, but it sounds incredible! Don't let 800 watts fool you, this amp is the BOMBBB!

I got this amp last summer and love it. I started out with a MTX 250 and I wanted a bigger amp for my 2 10" Xplod subwoofers. Its not the hardest hitting system out there but I love it. I got some buddies with 2 12s and I receive a lot of compliments on how mine sounds better. So i got an awesome deal on it and recommend it 100%. Thanks Sonic!

I bought this amp from Sonicelectronix about 6 months ago and its worked great! I mounted it through metal risers to allow air flow around the whole unit and up to this point haven't had any problems with overheating and what not.
I have it powering my Infinity Kappa Perfect DQ 10" and it sounds amaaazzzing. Now I just need to update my door speakers to compensate for the overpowering bass.
Also the blue light on this is really nice when you have the back seats folded down.

This amp seemed to work pretty good at first. I had it hooked up to two q-power 10's. The tens required alot of power so I kept the amp turned up. After about a month the amp started to get really hot after I played my subs for awhile. I would only recomend this for smaller speakers or speakers that don't require alot of power.

I've owned this amp, and had it connected to 2 xplod subs, and it worked fairly well, however, if you push too much at it, it doesn't perform very well, and sometimes heats up a bit. Not serious heating, but still noticeable. This isn't a bad amp for the price, but if you can afford a bit more, I'd recommend a different product for you.
