Great compact amp

This amp is great for the size. I have one of these on my 2 skar audio 12's 600 rms subs and it is working great. It's just a temp amp but works great. When it was clamp tested it was close to 500 rms.

Hifonics Merlin Refurbished

I would recommend this amp. I have it pushing 2 12" Hifonics subs in a sealed box and it sounds great. No issues.
