Have had this amp for a couple of years and have loved it. Good clean power in such a small amp. Only problem for me is i have had it hooked up to 2 P2 12's and 4 ohms bridged and after a good hour it shuts off due to it being hot. Other then that have had no problem with the amp. Great amp for the price. Going to try and hook this up to my door speakers and see how it sounds.

This amp is crazy for the size. I have had tons of systems I recently got this amp (Punch 500.2) (2 Rockford P2 15) and a Kinetik batt h and a custom built 1in mdf ported box I put this in a 99 pathfinder all I can say is wow this pounds! The amp gets a lil warm but come on its 2 15s I love Rockford always have. So my buddy went out and bought the new JL x 1000d and 2 15 W0v2s my **** still pounds harder and I only paid 290 plus everything came from Sonic and there is still a warranty
