Great amp!

I bought this amp used at brandsmart for my one Kicker CVR 12 and it pounds the S*** out of it!

DIGITAL bang for the buck!!

Got a great deal on this amp. It is a very small amplifier but let me tell you at 2ohms this thing will pound the f@*k out of a single sub. Makes the entire car shake with a Alpine SWR-1242D. The best part is that it is digital and sounds great and will NEVER get hot on you. Run it for hours cranked and slaming dub or any other bass intensive music and she goes snd goes. I actually think it may be somewhat underrated because it is a powerhouse.
