Year / Model Reviewed:
1998 Punch 800a2

Summary:
I've had this amp since 2000 and it's been running strong. It has survived 5 different vehicles and plenty of subs. Good clean "REAL" power. It's currently pushing 2 12" JL Audio W7 d6's running 3ohms per channel and it slams them hard. I've had it pushing: 1 13.5" JL Audio W7 d2/ 3 JL W6 12"/ 4 JL W4 12"/ 2 JL W3v2 12"/ 2 JL W6v2 12"/ 4 Kicker L7 10"/ 1 Kicker L7 12"...many differet subs throughout the years and still haven't blown one yet.

Strengths:
Real power! It will push just about any subwoofer you throw at it. It's not B.S. like alot of newer amps that claim to be way more powerful than rms rating. If you wire your system right...this will be the last amp you will ever need.

Weaknesses:
None! If you get your hands on one...Don't get rid of it!

Summary:
The 800a2 is a great amp. Presently it is powering two 10 inch JLW3’s in a sealed enclosure and they HIT! At first I experienced issues with the 40 amp fuse blowing but that problem was remedied utilizing “4 gauge pos and neg wire, and a 60 amp fuse.” Sure the amp runs warm but at 2ohms what amp wouldn’t. Moreover, like some have commented, lights do dim but that has also been rectified utilizing a “cap” and in lieu of being cheap, step-up and spend the money.

Strengths:
All

Weaknesses:
None
