BEAST MODE

Man this is one powerful amp.... I have it on a JL13W7 and lets just say u can barely sit in my SUV..... I had a JL 1000/1 on it at first and this amp pushes my JL harder than it did......This amp is certainly worth the buy....

Tremendous power!!!

This amp is bad azz. I have 2 Kicker 15' CVR on this amp and its banging the crap out of them. I add one more 15" CVR last week to see if this amp could push them and it did . A lot of power for a great price.

this amp is Great!!!

the 5500 watt gorilla amp is pretty nasty. i just got mine today and hooked it up to my jack hammers ( 4- 12s) it beats the ground at 1 ohm . I can say i will be buying a couple more of these amps and stape them to gether cause i have alot of solo xs and l5 and l7 that need to be abused by this bad A$$ piece of machinery. If u like it at 1 ohm u will love it at .5 ohms it really comes to life then. This is the same amp as the power acustik bamf 5500 except the spl is built better. i will keep u informed if this thing can last or not!!!the bottom line is if your poor like everyone else "me" and u want an amp that is going to push anything u got except a 22' or some thing ridiculous this is the one period ...

Burned up

I advise u to slowly work this amp in. I had it hooked up to two 12 inch pioneer premier d2 subs @ 2 ohms stable. I was putting out around 1200 to 1500 rms thats about what it does on a regular battery. Hooking it up to an optima series battery gave it a constant 12 volt charge gave it aropund 1800... however the amp burned up on the second day. It is advised to break it in It requires a break in period. This amp is really good. It is quite powerfull for an spl amp or a mono amp. Just make sure to treat it right, break it in and heat it up before loud volumes. Remember everything has a limit

OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!!!

I have one of these on 2 Kicker CVR 15s and this thing pounds. I know I'm not getting all the power because I need another battery. But for now it does the job. My trunk flexes likes crazy I WOULD tell anybody about this amp if u don't have one get one, just make sure u have enough power to push it. Oh one more thing it DOES NOT get hot at all.

Gorilla Needs it's Bananas

Very powerful amp that demands an ample amount of wattage, an extra battery is recommended as voltage drops heat the amp up and it doesn't get to push to it's potential. Though very powerful the ratings aren't completely accurate. Expect ~ 2500 watts at 1 ohm.

rocking all the way in barbados

This is by far the best amp i have ever owned and i have had quite a few. This bad boy fried the coil of my kicker l7 15inch sub the first day i installed it. i now have it playing 2 sony xplode 15 subs in a ported box and this thing hits soooo hard. My neighbours called the cops for me complaining everything in their house was shaking. I strongly recomend this amp if u are looking for the best and willing to forget the rest. Sonic you guys are the best. PS just bought a capacitor from this site cause this bad boy needs more juice.

Super Super Amplifier

SPL GRLA 5500/1D Amplifier , is of the highest quality that is compensated by the price! In fact, very good the price, very very good the product! I have mounted an SPL for to drive two subwoofers TC SOUNDS and managed to keep the current to 0.5 ohms. Is astonishing! I will buy other because I think it's a product that is worth having! is a "small explosive housing!".....

This amp is as or even better than name brand amps out there like Kicker JL Alpine and more for half or more than a name brand price tag.

Really Strong

I currently have this on a splw12 at .06 ohms. It works flawless and probably to much power for the sub. i am very impressed that it is able to work beyond its intended range. I would of prefered too only have a single larger power and ground input instead of two, but regardless its a beast and can't beat the price.

spl Gorilla 5500

This a sweet amp for 1000 watt RMS subs. I run Orion 10.4's at 1500 RMS and it pounds them not to my subs potential it's maxxed out and not a problem don't over heat, I had a Hifonics Brutis and my subs smoked the amp so you be the judge
