I have a '97 TJ and space is seriously lacking. Add to that no security and the high risk of the elements. I needed something just to be able to hear my music and this little amp does the trick. It is insanely small. I was able to tuck this bad boy upside under the drivers side steering column and because it is fan cooled it has no problem staying cool. It is completely out of the elements and is impossible to see without shoving your head up into the dash.

I was a little worried about getting a Sony amp, nobody ever speaks good of Sony, but I have been extremely happy and no issues. I had heard reports of popping and noise with this amp, but I haven't had any of those problems. Just have to make sure you wire the amp up properly, solid ground and don't run wires with other power wires. For the price, power, and size you absolutely cannot beat this amp. I highly recommend this amp for anyone who has a Wrangler and is wanting to hear their music, tire roar, wind, engine, this delivers.

Purchased this around 6 months ago and I am quite impressed. Sits nicely under the passenger seat of the jzx100 or Toyota Chaser. Provides good power to 6.5" door speakers. Not the loudest as it's not hugely powerful but certainly good bang for buck.

I bought this amp specifically because it was the only amp I could find that would fit under my seat in a Ford Ranger pickup without any issue. I was very impressed with the power from this small amp. I'm driving front component speakers and one 10" low profile sub. My system sounds absolutely awesome. This is a small but powerful amp.

I bought this to upgrade an Infinity amp and speaker system for a 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The amp was the best I could find that would fit in the tight spot under the seat and did not cost hundreds more. It is a good clean amp and runs 4 Rockford Fosgate speakers very well. It hasn't overheated yet and the high level inputs made the whole upgrade possible without replacing the head unit. Very good value. For most people it will run 4 speakers louder than you would want to play them and clean. I just wish I bought two so I could replace the Infinity system in my Intrepid. Now, they're gone!

Customer Testimonial

I put one of these babies in my 66 rag top vw, and let me tell you, "I can't say more". These speakers rock if you are looking for a crisp hard base with good sound. Very impressive!
