Great amp

The following review is for DSC-480, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Does rated power, Using it in a daily driver that does over 148+ on the 2010 TL on music. Vocals sound crisp and clean. Mid bass is smooth and does not distort(you must do all the tuning yourself of course, i left my amps settings flat besides slightly adjusting gain and used my decks cross overs and frequency controls to achieve best sound)

Great amp for the money, doesn't get hot unless you allow allot of bass through to the speakers.

Awesome-Sauce

The following review is for DSC-480, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

All i can say is that like you, I searched and searched for a decent amp at about $150. This thing is way better than the money I paid. It's amazing!! The sound quality is crisp and clear (tested at 10,000Khz - 22Hz, running 4Ga wire). It never gets hot as I push it around mid-range on all settings. Bass with a single 10" subwoofer is excellent. I have a Scion xB and it really fills the box nicely. I also have it pushing a 6 1/2 component system, which also is awesome-sauce. Trust me people, I looked all over the place for a deal (steal) and THIS IS IT!!!

MB Quart DSC 480

The following review is for DSC-480, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

i would recommend this product to anyone looking for a 4 channel amp. i use it with 6.5" eclipse speakers and components along with a directed amp for my 10" sub woofer. i originally had an eclipse 4 channel that didn't work well and i had to kill the car and start it up again to get the amp to work again. after switching to the MB Quart i have more clear and if desired more volume than the eclipse was providing. i think it is a great deal for the money. my only problem with it is the design, i store it under the seat and it sticks out into the area where my backseat passengers have to have their feet on it, normally not much of an issue, they are quite durable, but there are connections that make it a bit less desired. i combated that issue by placing the all weather mat over part of the amp and covering the connections.

Great Amp

The following review is for DSC-480, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

This is a great amp for the money, I replaced a low end 5 Channel amp. I'm running 4 Focal 5X8 speakers (4 ohm) in high bypass mode and they sound great. The amp gets a little warm, but nothing to be concerned about. I would definitely recommend this amp, you will not be disappointed. Not the high end/cost of others, but you will be hard pressed to find a better value for the money. As an added bonus, it looks great.

good deal

The following review is for DSC-480, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

have not had any problems with this amp. I have it wired to mb quartz components and mb quartz 3 way speakers in my 2010 corolla. It works great and everything is clearer than before. that and the price on this amp makes it a good deal

works well

The following review is for DSC-480, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I got this amp 6 months ago, its driving one 10" Kicker CVR, and a pair of components up front. The components are 6.5" Alpine type-x reference speakers. with a Kenwood KDC-x794 as the headunit.

My first impression of the amp, looks good, simple and the price was right. I can't say that its necessarily the amp, but I will say that I expected the system to be a little louder.

That said, the system sounds great...good balance with rich sound. the amp has never gone into protect or anything and has always worked as it should.

They say power is power...so I would be interested to see if a more expensive amp with the same rating sounded louder/better...meaning im curious as to if the amp puts out what they say it does.

All in all im pleased with the purchase

solid amp

The following review is for DSC-480, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I love the way this amp pumps out the low end bass, however this beast is super power hungery!!! You'll need a high end Alt on your car, at least 120 amps or better to see this amps full output. If you plan to upgrade your cars electrical system this amp will blow your mind! It is well worth the money and I will buy again.

Best 4 channel for the price!

The following review is for DSC-480, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Have this running Kappa 6x9's and an RE Audio RE10 and sounds wonderful. Was previously running the kappa's with a 2 channel pioneer amp, with costs exactly the same from this site, but sounds much better! The amp is easy to use and has all the option I needed. Like others have said, it does run a bit warm, but no problems so far in these few months.

Good for the Price

The following review is for X204-17, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

For the price, the cable as no serious flaws. This is a cheap cable for a cheap price. It has better construction than other run of the mill cables and not as good as big names like Monster. The purpose of a cable is to deliver the music signal cleanly to the amp without noise from the vehicle, it does that. However, I had to pinch in the ground lugs to maintain a tight connection, no big deal but like I said not the quality of a Monster cable OR the price of a Monster cable.

cheap amp kit

The following review is for AMP850BL, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Good amp kit. Lead wire was long enuff to reach into my trunk. Wire was more than flexible enuff to get it thru the tight spots. All in all for the money it was the best bet. Thanks

Im only gonna buy this wire from now on.

The following review is for AMP850BL, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I love this wire. It just makes your system look clean. Its true 4 gauge. Very true. Impossiable to say that it isnt true 4 gauge. I dont come with everything that amp kit usally comes with, but i already knew that. If u need things like firewall rubber, and rca wires, this isnt the kiit for you. But if u have a battery in the trunk and already have some rca wires, this is the kit for you. I highly recomend it and will be buyig wires from them for a long time. 5 stars.

The following review is for AMP850BL, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

The quality of components in this kit are good. But there are things missing that are normally included in other kits like grommets for passing wire through the firewall.

quality

The following review is for X204-17, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

i replaced my cheapo rcas with this for my 4 channel eclipse amp. have the front 2 channels running a pioneer component set and the rear 2 channels bridged running a pioneer champion series pro 12. i listened to my system befor i hooked these RCA's up and after. i can def say i noticed a huge diffrence in sound quality. even better imaging from my component set. these are very well worth the bucks sonic is asking. for being a cheaper pair of RCA's i love them. and ill keep on using them too! stop reading and buy them!!

The following review is for DSC-480, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Great amp for the price. Running a set of phoenix gold 6-1/2" components off the front and an infinity 10" off the rear (3&4 bridged) , Lots of power and good clean sound.
Definitely recommend this amp for smaller systems.

Fantastic amp for the money

The following review is for DSC-480, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

This is a very nice amp for the money. Very clean sound. Runs at rated power. I have used much more expensive amps that were not as nice as this one. It does not get too hot even when running at near full volume. I was listening to music at 30 (on 35 scale) for an hour and it was just warm.

Great wires! No RCA's though...

The following review is for AMP850BL, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Great wiring kit for the buck but spend the extra $$ and get a wiring kit with good RCA wires or your gonna run into some turbulence installing your speaker. Perfect length wires though and even had extra for my 1998 Nissan 200sx.

Zip ties that came with it weren't very good. They were very brittle and almost every one broke trying to tighten them, but don't let the zip ties hold you back on this deal, they're cheap at the store.

Awesome amp for the price!

The following review is for DSC-480, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Been running this amp in my G35 for two weeks now and I am nothing short of amazed. I am powering a set of Alpine type-S components and a pair of type S coaxial. I have yet to be able to turn this thing up to full power without my ears feeling like they are going to bleed. No matter how loud I go, this thing doesn't clip or distort, and the sound is CLEAN. My installer even said this was the cleanest-sounding setup he had ever heard.

These RCA's are BEEFY. They look great and save you the trouble of running an extra set if your connecting a 4 channel amp. Very nice design and very clean looking. I would definitely use these again.

Very convenient and great quality!

The following review is for X204-17, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

The Tsunami brand RCA's are a great value for the quality you get and having a 4 channel RCA in a single length of cable makes install easier, cleaner and less likely to be interfered with. I've now used them in two different installs and will again. I've used much more expensive RCA's before, but haven't found any that are this good at this price.

Great Amp for Money - Powerful

The following review is for DSC-480, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Bought to power a pair of components and a 15" Dayton Ref HO Sub. This amp can more than hold its own. It is wired to run 2ohm stereo channels 1+2 and bridged 3+4 for the sub. The amp doesn't struggle with this at all and delivers plenty of loud and clean power with great control over my sub. I am returning to the car audio hobby after a long break (10+ years)....I am surprised an amp this good can now be bought for such little money. Even the amp cosmetics are really nice and the terminals are of high quality. Previously I had only known MB Quart as a speaker company but they are now clearly selling a high quality amplifier for an amazing price. Great amp, great price - period.
