Very good product at a good price

Difficult to get speakers in Spain.
The sound generally good with some frequency medium high very good at lower frequencies.

Exactly whats needed

this amp is outstanding. i sold my 9102d Kenwood to get this amp and wow was i surprised. i have not heard many amps go louder than this one because people insist on putting systems in their car without having the battery to run it. this thing has gotten the cops called on me numerous times. i cant go anywhere without someone calling and saying something about my system. a+++++++++ amp

weak

This is one of those amps that I believe is a little exaggerative on the wattage level it claims. I bought this amp because I thought it would be plenty to push 2 Rockford 10" P3's, but in order for it to perform decently I had to bridge it all the way down to 1 ohm, which is something I don't like doing because thats how **** gets blown. But one thing I can say is that its still thumpin' after 6 months, so we'll see what happens. My only advice is if I could do it over again, I would buy an amp that seems a bit overkill, and if it is, just turn it down instead of having a weak amp that you have to push to it's limits to perform.

Great value IF you know what you're getting

This is a great amp for 4 or 2ohm loads, wont take a true 1ohm for long without overheating or blowing fuses.

Speaking of fuses, its fused at 75 amps, so dont expect much more than MAYBE 800 watts, that 1200 watts is a joke and that 2400 wont happen unless you have 3 or 4 of them

louder than most amps in the area

i am using this amp currently, i also do not have the remote bass boost nob. i would really like it more if i had it.. i am using 3 audiobahn 800w max 400w rms subs in a sealed box. everyone says its loud and my friends dont understand my need to upgrade any further. i will have to agree but i am moving up to the buy one get one kicker 15s to see how that sounds. i think i am losing power with the use of the third subwoofer, and not gaining a lot of extra sound. but it is still very, very loud and looks great too.. i don't recommend the audiobahn 1251ts, but for the price and the power i definetly give the amp a 9 out of 10 rating. i promise you will be pleased if 1200w rms is the range your looking for.

Not the One

Does not like a 1 ohm load. Fuses blow constantly, overloads on cue, supposed to be 1 ohm stable. Its cute and all. Much happier with my Diamond. Kenwood used to make good stuff, things have changed, I was no happier with my x990 deck.

Not Too Shabby, dont have the Remote though

IT IS BRIDGABLE...Over all I like the sound of this amp, I have An SX15 In the trunk of my little 92' lumina, that I am currently building a box for. Even without the bass boost knob its Still pretty rowdy. Recomend the remote switch if you buy it though.
