Summary:
So far this is a great amp. Plenty of power for 2 big subs. Definitely recommended for someone who wants to power 2 10"s or 2 12"s. Looked at a lot of other amps but for less than $100 there is no way I could have done any better. Feel free to spend $300-$500 on an amp, but with a product like this out there I don't see why you would. What a steal.

Strengths:
Great power, good looks, runs cool, simple operation. Awesome bang for the buck!!

Weaknesses:
Like everyone else has said, wire it before you screw it down! Other than that, none yet.

None purchased, but looked at tons of others, and was not impressed (for the money.) I wanted value for my dollar.

Summary:
I blew it up on a 100 plus degree day in CA. I took it to the shop and they just told me some (BS).I took it home after they had it over a month and went to work on it. After I took in a part and ran a digital meter on every pice. I found out that the sodder had broken loose on transistor (chip). So I sodder it back together and the beat gose on. Sound as good as the day I bought it. I will try the lanzar opti 1000 next!

Strengths:
power, size

Weaknesses:
hooking up the wires, chip sodder came undone under tempeture stress.

Summary:
This is a good amp. It's powerfull and is easy to use. I have it hooked up to a Rockford Fosgate power HX2 (12") and it pounds. I do not have it bridged to 1 ohm because the amp doesn't like it. It is only 2 ohm sterio stable but it is adiquate for a power HX2. 450x2 whatt RMS so it puts out some power. Also you dont need a cap for it, it only draws 50A. So thats a plus. All in all i say its a great amp.

Strengths:
Lots of power, easy to use, doesnt drain the battery, and comes with a 3 year waranty.

Weaknesses:
gets a little warm when pushed, but doesnt shut off, only 2 ohm stable

Summary:
I bought this amp to resell but then I hooked it uo to my 2 SPL170's and boy did it pound. After 3 hard hours of bass I reached back and to my suprise the amp was still cold. The only thing bad about it is that I got a ticket for being heard 5 blocks away.

Strengths:
It stay cool. Hits hard and clean. I like the rivet look. Has enough power to push 2 Soundstream SPL170s in a sealed box and only 1/3 of the way open.

Weaknesses:
The power conections, they really needed to relocate them. make sure to conect your wires before you mount it.
