Strengths:
never blown a fuse. never overheated. more efficient than most 1000 watt amps.

Weaknesses:
burnt up one alternator.

Summary:
i've never had a better amp. this puts out all the rated power it says it has. you can put any combanation of loads on this amp and it will handle it flawlessly. clipping indicators come in handy to prevent clipping which can destroy your charging system and battery.
