Customer Testimonial

This company is the BEST!!! I ordered a jvc car stereo remote control.. Tried it out and it works perfectly. An additional kicker: it was 60% less expensive than the company I originally dealt with (IMMEDIATELY CANCELLED THAT ORDER). I've become a customer of this company for life!

This amp is CEA Compliant. Im pushing it at 2 ohms right now. It does not get hot like my friend's amp. The 9103 is fan cooled and has sweet blue lights around the fan. The bass boost, gain, etc are all under the metal plate. That's kind of a con.



I totally recommend this amp to anyone who is going to push 900W RMS. Wire it at 2 ohms, and wow. I was blown away. It sounds great at 4 ohms as well. The amp is even 1 ohm stable!
