I have this amp running four focal 6.5" & 1" tweets & three jl 10w7's, with an eclipse avn792e head unit in a 2011 golf gti, was in my explorer before. Both cars completely dynamatted and still makes an un-opened "soda" bounce 4-6" off the roof! This amp is a beast & i have an original power 1000 four ch, & this amp is on par with the true old school, gut wrenching power. Throw whatever you want at it + the kitchen sink, it will take it and ask for seconds! I paid a fortune for my focals, like 1200 for the front and 9 for the rear. They can just eat power and this amp doesn't flinch. I will be honest, i'm using the stinger mini battery set up & a optima yellow top. The amp is just something you can pound all day long. Might buy another!!! PS Run good equipment, or the best we can afford.
