I have this amp running my two JL Audio 12" W3-V2s..this amp has an incredible sound. The loudest I've ever had my subs. My amp is only on half volume and the sub level on kenwood headunit is left between -11 to -5 and is insanely loud. I've won a few local competitions. This is a great amp

This is an incredible amplifier! Never thought that this amp would be able to power my 15" Audiobahn subs. I recommend anyone to purchase this amp. Memphis is the best hands down.

I had this amp for over 6 months and it worked great for that time. It puts out every amount of power it says it does. The amp would always stay cool and I could have the gain half way up and it would barely get warm. This amp has a very good cooling fan to keep it cool as well. The only problem about this amp is the price. Your paying about double the price for this amp compared to the others but this amp will never overheat or break on you like others. So in the end you are saving money.

This is by far one of the best amplifiers I have ever come across in it's range. Sure, it may not be the cheapest, but for what you're getting, it's worth every penny. I've seen this in action and it delivers. The thing never gets warm either! If you have the money for this amplifier, I highly recommend this amplifier!
