Strengths:
good clean power, those are real rms watts. it is not too big. has hi & low pass filters with bass and treble gains.

Weaknesses:
my only real complaint is that it has no fan, it gets hot and clips when running subs hard.

Summary:
this amp rocks and puts out a lot of pure clean power. it has most of the feature you would ever need in a 2 channel amp. i have this amp bridged to one 10" kicker sub. it pounds it like crazy but the only prob. is it gets hot and clips after playing it really hard for a while. after that it will just keep clipping unit you turn it down or let it cool for a while. this seems to only happen with subs, i have an ix252 for my highs and mids which has never done that. i do hear some engine noise coming out from my speakers but i thinks from hooking up power to close to the alternator b/c they didnt do that in my previouse car. although connections are gold plated they could have a better style rather than typical screw down that most amps have. thats not real big deal though.

Strengths:
everything

Weaknesses:
gets hot but nothing a fan cant cure

Summary:
i have used this amp for a good five years and its hooked up right and it has powered a kicker comp vr 15 inch subwoofer and a rockford fosgate competition sub and it is nice and loud and has survived my brutal abuse of 5 years of wide open throttle play. for all of those idiots with overheating problems just buy a big ass 12 volt fan and you can pump this sucker for hours of pounding bass. but finnaly after all the years of beating this amps ass the power supply is finnaly going out, i definetly recomend kicker products, hooked up to the right subs this amp does great, the dude with the crappy adioban subs and the one with the distortion problem need to ditch thier cheap ass speakers and get some real shizzle. fugging kunts

Strengths:
Overheating and destroying everything in sight when it fails.

Weaknesses:
you name it.

Summary:
Sucks... After a long history of overheating (even with fans) while pushing 2 JL 10" this amp "kicked" the bucket and in the process of doing so fried my sub outs on my brand new pioneer DEH7500MP head. I will never buy kicker again.

Price Paid:  $0.00

Strengths:
great power to smaller systems

Weaknesses:
overheating if used for an extensive amount of time with loud music

Summary:
This is a great amp if you know how to hook it up. I have had no problems with it whatsoever and i have it powering 2 kicker 12 inch subwoofers and it is LOUD!
