Great Amp!

Purchased this for my boat wakeboard speakers to upgrade the output over the existing arc audio 5 channel amp. Running 2 channel mode (~ 300 watts) and has way more power than I need! Extremely well built, small footprint, and barely gets warm in use. Also much more efficient (less power draw for the same amount of noise compared to class A/B) so as not to run down the batteries quickly. Liked it so much I bought the Monoblock sister amp for the sub!
Cons: wire gauge adapter advertised didn't come with either amps and was told they stopped providing them.

This amp sounded Amazing!!

this amp sounded good but it wasn't loud for my dual l5 subs.

pros: looks and feels rock solid. high s/n ratio. never got hot @ 1 ohm.

cons: draws power!! 44hz bass boost frequency was weird.
did not come with the power ground gauge adapter as advertised.

i returned this because it wasn't what i was expecting.

fantastic

i bought this amp because the one i had before it wasn't powerful enough and just wasnt good, this amp is by far the best i've ever had and all of my friends keep asking me where i got it and what the model is because it sounds so crisp and really can rattle the car whenever i want to. I have had no problems at all with it and was able to install it myself, which means it's pretty simple. If you want amazing audio, buy this amp

Monoblock Amazing

Highly recommended! Very small footprint. Running incredibly cool given I have it enclosed in a spare tire well with another D series amp and its running at 1 Ohm. After 2 hours of hard hitting 2 12" Polk SR DVC's its still barely warm! Amazing really. Hits HARD and CLEAN. Used some Five Finger Death Punch to see just how well it and the SR's can keep up and not sound muddy and I was very very pleased. Look wonderful with the blue LED's atop. Very nice and heavy duty wire connection for up to 1/0 cable. Cant say enough good things about this new addition to the Polk line. Buy it, you will NOT regret it.
Oh and the remote bass knob is icing on the cake, so nice to just be able to tweak down some of those hard hitting mixes you were not expecting.

Nice

I purshed this product a few months ago and its real nice. Ive never have a problem out of the amp and my subs pound. The bass booster knob is very nice to control how hard ur subs hit. I would recomend this product to anyone who wants a good sounding system.

GREAT

This amp is overall really good, i am a big fan of plk audio and their products. i have this amp at 4ohms putting out 500watts rms on a infinty reference 124 sub and it takes it no problem. just one thing to remember is if you ever do decide to overpower a sub like that is to always set your gains less than you would normally

Great Amp by Polk

This amp is small in size, but packs a punch! I use it to power a set of Polk 10" subs, which it's perfect for. I would recommend this amp. I would buy Polk again and again!

amp is good

The amp is great im just really confused on how the hell it gets discontinued in 2 days and it was in full stock?? soo where are the amps gonna go now

Awesome product.

I am running 4 8" kicker comp r and this amp is absolutely perfect for what I wanted out of a monoblock! I am extremely happy with what this amp puts out and I'm especially happy with how simple it was to install due to its compact size and ease of terminals. Highly recommend this amp. It's says 1200 watts rms but after testing it I got about 1300. Excellent value as well. Other amps putting out the same power were much more pricey so the value of $199 was too good to pass up

Provides the power

I have this amp hooked up tona pair of Polk mm1240 subwoofers with a belva 2 farad capacitor in line to prevent battery drain. This amp has no problem providing the power these subs crave, despite being "rated" at 50 Watts lower than the subs' cumulative RMS request. Plus it's always nice to have a universal look/brand for your whole system.

great value, tons of clean power

I bought this amp to power 2 type R 8s under the back seat of my 2015 f 150. I have the matching PA D5000.5 powering my Focal FX165 front stage though a bit ten D. both amps fit nice behind my rear seat, no overheat concerns at all. I owned the D5000.5 for years before and knew what I was getting into. overall great amp.
