This is a great amp. The thing that is cool about it is that it is so small. Also that it is 4 ohm and 2 ohm stable at 1000 watts for both. It also looks really clean. Especially when it is next to a cap. I recommend this amp if you are low on space.

Though this amp may be spendy, it is definitely something to consider. I have it pushing two 12" Alpine Type R's and man does it make them bump. If you have the money and want a high quality amp, go with this one.

Review written by larry from San Mateo, CA
Typical, excellent Alpine quality. Tiny size for what it does. Loads, loads and even more loads of accurate, low distortion power output. I use a 2.0 farad capacitor to hold the voltage constant and the only time I see dimming of lights is with the engine off. After running my system for a short while with the engine off, the voltage drops and the capacitor shuts itself down, then the current draw becomes very dependant on the car's battery and sound quality starts to fail as the amp starts to 'clip'
Other than that detail, which is not the amp's fault, it is an amazing beast that can literally lift the dust off of my seats and put it into a visible cloud in the air.
My other car has a 600 x 1 alpine class D running 2 JL audio 10's in a sealed box. It has tight accurate nice sounding bass. This car uses 2 Kicker 12" solobaric L5's in a sealed box. The 12" sqaure speakers have 3.7 times the surface area as the 10's. Couple that with 1000 watts of power and the difference in sound is night and day. The bass is still pretty tight, but it is much deeper and MUCH louder. With my other system, I turn it up until it distorts, then back it down a little. With this system, I rarely turn it up that high becuase it hurts my ears, gives me a headache and makes me slightly dizzy and nauseated.
