OV2-1600
I have this Amp in my car I am running 2 12" power acoustik dual voice coil subs and it hit loud and hard also sounds really good, If you want to be heard and not spend much money this amp is really good for the price, The amp has never overheated on me and Use it all the time.

This amp is simply amazing. I have one powering two 12" pioneers and they hit. You cant ask for a better price. Easy to set up, and the blue light is a very nice touch :)

This amp is HUGE. If that doesn't bother you, then it's not a bad amp, especially for the price. I have it powering my Infinity 12.1D Perfects and they sounded just fine. Like the other guy said, I never had mine overheat, or turn off for any reason. Not too many options on the amp itself, but a good deck can make up for that. Not a bad amp, not a great amp, but a good amp for the price.

found this helpful.Can do 2.66 ohm bridged!
I bought mine back in the early 00's, then upgraded to higher-end amps. I held onto this one as a back-up amp essentially and used it on and off over the past 12+ years or so and it's NEVER shut-off, overheated, nothing. At 4 ohm stereo, it doesn't do much. Bridging it however, is where it shines. I believe this amp does around 500-550 watt RMS bridged as I ran it to a Crossfire BMF 12" (bridged) and ran a Crossfire VR-602 (600 watt RMS certified 2006 compliant) to my other Crossfire 12" (this was years ago) and both were near identical volume wise, although the Crossfire apparently had a higher damping factor and controlled the cone movement better. Anyways, fast-forward to now and I have a 10" Alpine R, 12" Kicker L5, and an older JL W3 12". All 3 are dual 4 ohm which makes for a difficult to run load from one amp. All 3 were set at 8 ohm, so figured I'd give it a try and ran them parallel (2.67 ohm) and see if the amp could run that or not. Surprise surprise it CAN. Even more surprising it's not getting hot either. I uprated the fuses to 30 amp per side and 40 amp for the center/main fuse in place of the three 25 amp fuses as current draw increases greatly at that load bridged. Amp is literally the most rugged and reliable I've owned. Had a Sony XM 2252HX that got blistering hot running 4 ohm bridged with a fan no less. I'm guessing the OV2 1600 is outputting around 700-800 watt bridged at 2.67 ohm as each sub can peg my DB meter and going off their SPL, 233 watt x 3 roughly is about right. If you are looking for decent class A/B wattage on a shoestring budget and come across one of these, grab it. Needs the bass boost ON to get the most of it, and it's far from a true SQ amp, but the fact in runs COLD at 4 ohm and barely warm pushing 3 subs at 2.67 ohm is something higher-end amps can NOT do. Can solder in some better film caps to get better SQ (I did) along with higher quality electrolytic caps and bass will tighten up. Only real gripe about this amp from years past is it's a power hog and needs at least 130 amp alternator. Oh yeah, it has dual transformers which is pretty amazing considering these were around $100 new.
