Nice small amp for a good price.

I have a 2014 Honda Ridgeline that has a factory subwoofer. I replaced the head unit and I bought this to be able to retain the subwoofer. I ended up amplifying all 5 channels of stock speakers than just doing the sub. That way if one blows, I will just replace them all.

The amp itself is very compact and feels sturdy. The picture is it mounted under the drivers seat. I slid a small piece of underlayment under the carpet and screwed it to that. This makes the amp nice and solid without needing to screw into the unibody of the vehicle.

The sound is excellent and clean compared to what the factory head unit produced. Because I paired this to factory speakers, I kept the gain down low and set crossovers to my liking. I set the sub gain at about 25% and added around 15% boost. This had the best balance of sound and bass when swithing between radio and Android auto. Overall, the amp was easy to tune and their is ample room to add better speakers down the road. The sub knob is a great addition to adjust on the fly, although it feels and looks kind of cheap. I guess that is fair at this price point.

The only reason for the knock on durability is because the first unit I received had a bad sub output.... intermittent sound. Sonic allowed me to buy a new one and return for a refund so I didn't need to go without a stereo for a week or two. Their shipping is fast and they are an A+ company to deal with.

Hunter is one of their techs and he helped me isolate the problem. He was patient and knew what to do immediately. Having a resource like that makes buying from Sonic Electronix a no brainer.
