Crunch amp rocks!!!

I purchased this 5 channel crunch amp to replace an aging system in my ski boat. It was easy to install with 2 speakers in front, 2 speakers in the rear and a 12" subwoofer. All wiring and adjustments for sound were very easy. I was pleasantly surprised at the sound quality and levels of adjustment. The remote sub adjustment knob is a great plus. This system sounds so good that I often listen to the stereo as the boat sits in my garage. For the price, it can't be beat. I'm thinking about adding a similar set-up in my personal truck. The service from Sonic Electronics was great too.

I'm impressed

Owned this amp for two weeks. I was worried about buying an amp that cost so little. but I am very happy so far. I have a Pioneer DEH-P6200BT head unit. 2 jl audio c2 component in front doors. 2 jl audio speakers in rear deck, and a Sonic Sub Box: 1H12-0.7 with a
Rockford Fosgate R2D4-12. the sub was out of control until I removed it and add a little sound dampening material inside box now it is well worth the money I spent.

Pure Junk.

Amplifier worked fine for about 11 months, then it started conking out randomly even when not being stressed. The sound coming out of it was pretty garbage too, I forgot how much better music sounded with better quality electronics. I replaced this unit with two separate JBL amps, a 4 channel and a class D, INSTANTLY the sound was better, clearer. As if there were 15 new instruments being played in the music suddenly. Do yourself a favor, do NOT waste money on this unit, save the extra few bucks and buy a decent brand.

Great amp for the $.

I bought this to save space in my Jeep since i didnt want many amps laying around. I'm a long time car audio kind of guy. MANY subs. MANY speakers. I know whats good, and whats bad.

Pros:
Good power output.
Clean Signal

Cons:
-Kind of bulky, but thats to be expected with a low priced 5 channel amp pushing this kind of power.

-Had this powering 4 kicker 75rms speakers 4 ohms. and (1) 10" 150rms 4 ohm rockford fosgate sub. I sold this system so i could get more bass when i have top and doors off on jeep. If you get this amp, i recommend good speakers (dont cheap out on them and only get 4ohm speakers) and a 2ohm sub to get that much more bass out of it. When the jeep had top and doors on, i was VERY happy with this. i just wanted more bass in the end.

Could have this amp blaring for hours on end and NEVER had an overheat problem. Even when i had it mounted in a tight, poor air circulated spot. HIGHLY recommend if you want to save space and still sound good.

How do they do it?

Pro: I first found out about this website through a friend .
Friends always know or suggest the best things.
When I went to th site I could not believe the product line and prices on all there items..... "WOW" The staff was very friendly and helpful ,with a lot of knowledge about the products......The fact that they have a code that you can add when you check out for even greater savings is a definite "Pro" . And free shipping if you meet the required amount. I live in Nevada and my order has been shipped to me as little as one , two days . If that's not a "Pro" . Then I don't know what is !!!
Christmas is around the corner and I'll be back!!!!

Con: I think the price on there home electronics are kind of high ; if price them the same way you price your car audio products. They would have a "Winner". Customer that knows a deal. RG

Awsome sound

Great amp, works well for my setup. Very easy to install and wire. Back-lit logo looks good at night. No problem at all when tuned correct with your head unit, this amp makes good bass for the price.
SETUP: Planet Audio 4" Two way in front, 6" three way in rear. Pioneer Premier TS-W1008D4 for sub in custom aero port box. Makes spectacular 42-40 mhz notes. all in toyota supra MK3.

Great value!

This inexpensive amp puts out excellent sounding audio for the price. I have this unit connected to four 6.5" Rockford Fosgate T1658 door speakers and a single sealed 12" Kicker CVR. Believe it or not, it is completely compatible with Kicker bass adjustment knobs, I didn't have to replace the knob that I have previously installed.

The sound quality is amazing for the price. And the wattage partitioned to sub bass is more than sufficient to shake your vehicle. My single sealed CVR wired at 2 ohms is getting more than enough juice to get it moving. Overall, I am very satisfied.

crunch 500.1 amp

Great value for the price. BUT, disappointed in the sub power output. If you have a closed trunk you'll never hear/feel it. Semi-acceptable for hatchback/station wagon. Moral of the story, if you really want THUMP buy a dedicated mono amp. One downside. It is a little large.

Real good amp for the price :)

I bought this amp for my 95 Pontiac Firebird. I wanted more bass at my doors and more highs in the rear 4" speakers, also the bass channel helped alot for the Earthquake 6.5 subwoofers I have there. I will admit I didn't get the bass I wanted from my doors like my 2 channel sony amp gave me but it does power every single speaker in my car and if you count tweeters as speakers I have 8 speakers in my car. 2 twts 2 mid woofers in the doors, 6.5" subwoofers, and 4" coxial in the rear.

great value

Excellent product for a excellent price.

Perfect amplifier for a great deal.

I use this amplifier to power all of my MB Quart speakers in my 2000 Audi S4. It works like a charm. The main reason I wanted the 5-channels was to plug a subwoofer (two 1000 Watt 12" MTX Magnums) into it because of the bass gain control, but it didn't seem to produce enough power for all of my speakers and the subwoofer.
I just hooked up a second amplifier to the subs. The amplifier works great for the speakers in my car though!

Love this amp

I got this amp along with 4 kicker speakers at 50 RMS and a Kicker 12 inch at 150 RMS, this amp is a perfect combination with the Kickers and sounds insanely clean

awesome for the price!

This amp brought my boat speakers and sub to life! Highly recomend this amp for a budget or shoot even for no budget it kicked my jl10 arse. Lots of control and love the sub remote adjust.

great

This amp "bumps" pretty hard i got it for a 1999 Integra LS and it sounds great.

great

I bought this for a 1999 interga coupe ls and it bumps pretty hard i like it and i recommend it to other its great!

Great amp at a great price

Wow, running my whole system thru this amp (5 1/4 conponents, 6x9's, and two 8" subs. The amp isn't turned up half way and it's already too much for me. Listen to music for hours at a time and she has barely gotten warm. Lots of adjustments for fine tuning your sub output. Be warned the footprint is much bigger than I had thought it would be so don't go thinking it will hide under a bucket seat. Otherwise a perfect amp for the money....

nice buy

The price is great, the power is a little low but performes well!

Made in china garbage !!!!!Do not buy I bet the other reviews are phony...

No wonder its so cheap it almost caught on fire under my seat, I manage to fit it perfectly under the seat of my 2003 Dodge Ram pickup and at first try the amp smoked so I triple checked the connections and started smoking again but this time it almost caught on fire.

Crunch P1-5000.5

This is an awesome amp!! What I love about this amp is that you power up the whole car. It's clear & sounds great. I have 4 vehicles & they all have the Crunch P1-5000.5. You won't be disappointed!!

Good All Around

This amplifier exceeded my expectations by far. Its perfect for that extra thump with clear sound quality. Its perfect for a family car or someone that wants that little more sound but has a small budget. Can't beat that price!

Great amp

Installed amp 6 months ago with 2 pioneer 10's, 2 pairs of Infinity seperates + two more tweeters in an 08 F150 Super Crew, using reccomended power supply cables. No problems. Amp keeps up nicely. Friends comment on the accuracy and clairity of the sound and how LOUD it can get. I like the amp for those exact reasons also. For the price/performance/parent company, the amp is a great value. Built well.

great all in one

this amp is great to run a complete system clear, great thump!

Great Buy

I installed in a '97 Chevy Cavalier. I have 4 6-1/2" Polk and 1 12" Blaupunkt Sub and this amp hits hard. Clean power. No issues. Best buy for your buck. Owned since June 2011 and no issues. Clean, super clean power. My speakers sound like they are suppose to. Thought my Polks were bad. They are now alive. Sweet!!!

Great product, Great price

PROS; This amp is a great value for what you get. Well built. All the needed controls for various speaker setups. Fed with 1/0 gauge power and ground, with 10 gauge speaker connects will keep damping factor of the amp in very good control of rears and sub. I saddled mine with Infinity Kappa 62.9i front, 692.9i rear and Infinity Reference 860 sub in properly tuned ported enclosure in the trunk which gives superb sound all the way down to a very solid 28Hz bottom end. Properly adjusted and installed, this is the best bargain one can find in a class AB² SEPP amp. Obviously the amp has a large footprint, but realize 5 channels have to be adequately cooled, since the class of amp it is, and the heat generated by it. I would buy this amp again if I had to once again choose, and would recommend this highly to anyone looking for a very solid built, well designed AB class amplifier.

CONS; There are very few for what you pay for and get in this amp. The only thing I would have done at the design level, which would obviously raise it's price in doing so, I would have used the LM6172 (audiophile quality 3000V/µs slew rate) op-amp rather than the noisy and dirty and very slow JRC 4558D (1V/µs slew rate) in the front end of the amp. Obviously we are talking about raising this amps performance level to audiophile quality by replacing them, and I may do this when summer gets here and repost the results.

good little amp

I put this amp into a boom box for my daughters softball team. It is pushing 4 6-1/2" RF speakers and a 10" RF sub all in sealed boxes inside a large cabinet. Even at the parks in open air it carries a good kick.

Great Amp, but lacks some bass

Have a Polk MM6501 in the front, and Polk db501 in the back, and they sound really great. the problem is bass, you have to turn the bass pretty much up to get serious bass, but it then sounds like the amp is missing some watt to "control" the sub. so i have desided to get a monoblock to power my sub. the sub is a 12" Polk GNX12DVC 175W RMS 400W Peak. so i guess smaller and less power hungry sub will do fine on this amp.

Probally best amp value on the market

I can't believe how good this amp is at the price. You get all that power in 4 channels and then almost 500 peak watts in the sub. Should be enough power for the whole vehicle when powering 1 maybe 2 10" subs (You may need a separate more powerful mono amp if you really want to rock those subs). This is also Class A/B so it will sound much more warmer than traditional amps. Crunch even throws in a free Bass remote line adjuster! I heard this at the store and thought it sounded better than my alpine and its was less than half the price.
