MTX does it again...

I have always been a fan of MTX and with products like these, its easy to understand why. This amp delivers a heck of a bang with any subwoofer. I have it pushing a Boston Acoustic G512-44 and wow, it will simply make your car shake like you wouldnt believe! Buy this AMP!!!! I Recommend it!
