pleasent surprise.

I'm using this amp on a JL Audio 10W0v3-4 in a Single 10" Sealed MDF Enclosure (10SQTC) and it thumps. My jeep has never sounded so awesome! I have to admit I was nervous ordering such a cheap amp, but this thing is delivering. One issue I did have early on was the set screws used to clamp the speaker wire in place.... they are Phillips head and way too shallow to actually tighten the set screw properly without stripping them (I know because I did). I just went to the hardware shop and picked up some 8-32 machine screws and they do the job great. This amp looks nice, the logos light up and are cool at night, just hope they don't get me pulled over.

Great Amo

This is truly a phenomenal little amp. It's powerful and compact, runs cool, even when bridged, and it sounds great with no audible distortion about 80% power. I've never pushed it to full capacity because quite honestly, that's asking for trouble, but that's a whole other issue. I've been using it for about six months to power two 12 inch subs rated at 200W RMS bridged at 4 ohms and it does a wonderful job with them, and produces all the sound you would ever need. Plus its small footprint fits great in my Ranger and the blue led emblem matches the scheme of cab and cap lighting I have. All in all, this is beautiful looking and sounding amp that fits anywhere, as long as it fits your power needs.

Great amp for the price

Easy to install. I haven't tried this amp for the lows but for the highs it is a great amp. Really loud amp. I was really impressed. Have to be a little careful with the white part of the amp as it sinks in a little. Still a great amp for highs. I would recommend this amp and already have!!

works fine, small, good value so far

For the price, i cant complain much, i wanted to see how cheap i could add some low end in my truck so i bought this and a lanzar 8 for well under $100. It sounded okay, enough to make the music sound alot better but nothing crazy, then i hooked this up to a coustic 10" I was a little more impressed with it, it sounds pretty good at reasonable volumes. The light up butterfly or whatever is kinda clowny lookin, and i easily pushed my finger through it on accident handling the amp, so be careful. Can't say how long it will last because ive had it a month.

The Car Guy

Excellent amp. The price was right and I am happy with it. It pounds my diesel sub like nobodys business. Sonic Rocks. Always finding good deals on Sonic website.

Small price...BIG sound.

I saw the Fli demo car at the USACi World Finals and was truely impressed... so I outfitted my Chevy HHR with all Fli equipment. This amp is really impressive. Small size. It looks really clean and can really get the job done. I have this amp powering a single 12" and I work it hard. Never once has it stuttered, overheated, or even batted-an-eye. Great choice for guys on a budget. My ONLY complaint is that it will not carry a 1-Ohm load. Other than that, it's great.

Chicks

This is amp is great if you pair it with a single sub...Installed it for my girlfriend and she hasn't had any complaints...also the FLI logo lights up which she thought was really cool

Very impressed!

I am using this to power a 1230w infinity 12" subwoofer and I must say for the price I am very impressed.

For the price, it pounds!

I have owned this product for over three months now and have only a few minor dislikes. When I received this amp I noticed the paint on the removable panel was pooled and runny. Other than that I have loved the amp!

so far so good

This is my first amp and so far very impressed. Im running 2 subs at 115w rms (saving up for a 200w). it is relatively small which impressed me even more. I'm not a bass freak but i think this is a very good amp for a starter.

overheats really easily

I bought my fli amp in January. I live in florida so its pretty hot out. Within a month this thing is shorting out and 2 weeks later is completely out. No power or anything. Im pretty sure it overheated but i honestly dont know, it just doesent work. My advice is to go with a little more expensive amp thats more durable. This amp is only made to withstand 80 degrees.

great little amp

I just put this small 2 ch in a customer's car. It is excellent quality, great features and the price cannot be beat. Shipping was fast as always. Two thumbs up Sonic. I ran it to a pair of Hifonics 6.5"s, and they sound amazing for what they are: super loud. I would not hesitate to run a small subwoofer off this little beast. No, it's not class D or monoblock, but if you're not looking to spend big bucks, this amp is definitely for you!!!

Ya it's pretty FLI:-)

Have her bridged to a 12" Kicker Comp C124 in a sealed enclosure and the sound is clean and tight. The Comp is rated at 300 watts peak and 150 RMS. The FLI is 450 watts max and bridged 4 ohms puts out 225 RMS. Great match and nothing the gain level can't solve. This could push a single 250 RMS sub with no problem.

Excellent amplifier!

I am using this amp to power a Vibe component set of speakers and this amp matches them perfectly! It's much smaller than I expected and it has the wire cover panel to hide all the wiring. Exceptional quality and it looks kinda futuristic as well!

Great buy

I really didn't expect this amp to be very great but let me tell ya, for the price you cannot beat it. I am running 2 10" subs off of it and it produces very nice clean sound. It may be a little ugly but it performs very well. Great buy I highly recommend.

Nice little Creature

I was asked to get an Amp for a friend's Birthday. I had already bought the f-4 series 12" by FLI (which is one bangin' crazy thing) so.. after getting the Amp, hooked it to two older JL Audio basics. Amp looks great, detail in the cover plate for controls is nice and sleek, screws didn't want to cooperate during mounting, so I used my own. The claim of 225 watts is dead-on! With correct tuning on the deck unit, and having an enclosure that is right, I would be willing to say, at the price You could scare people with the volume. Nice little Amp.
