Killed my 500W(RMS) Audiobahn in just few weeks. Now I've got 800W new model of A-bahn, but still I'm carefull.
I love it. Best of the best for the price for any singel 12 or 15".
Highly recomended.

Price Paid:  $212.00 from ebay-used

Summary:
Bought it used on ebay for $160, but with customs fees it totaled $212. How UPS can get away with that is beyond me, highway robbery. Anyways, I use it on two Alpine type s 12's. I have them set up for 2 ohm load on the amp and it sounds preety much how it should. Although you won't set the world on fire, you get great, crisp bass from a cheap package. Most likely with a single sub better matched to the amp, you would be better off.

Strengths:
Size, piece of cake to use, price

Weaknesses:
none, power claims are legit and value is great.

Summary:
I bought this amp to replace an aging Kenwood 250 max watt amp. I am powering a pair of 12" MTX Thunder 4500 in a 1.25 sealed box running at 2ohms. When you get it tuned right and for me its.... gain:1/2up bass boost:1/4up x-over:about 90hz It hits really hard, which is what I was going for. The gutt pounding bass, that you can't hear, just feel. I have to invest another weekend in tuning again. I use 4ga. to a distribution block and then to 8ga. It runs just fine, never gets hot, and has excellent sound quality.

Strengths:
Power...
Small Footprint
Easy on the Charging System of my Car
Easy Install
Runs Cool
Doesn't Seem to Distort or Strain

Weaknesses:
The RCAs are Close Together
The Controlls are Hard to Reach Once Mounted
