 AG1000

Strengths:
With these 2 amps, I blew out 8 Kicker Competition 12's ! Then changed to the 2 good old 18" Volcano subs. Not much now but I hit 156 dB's with my '89Civic Hatback SiR.
Never had any problem and I still use them along with the AG 360.

Weaknesses:
Like others mentioned, its very long ( but very intimidating ). Right now I drive a Daihatsu Mira, a 660cc Turbo "mini-car" and the amp uses pretty much the whole width of the car.Other than that, I see no other weaknesses.

Summary:
I have THE 2 prototypes of these amps....before they were put into the market.
I want luckily sponsored by Zapco thru Mobile Audio Design, here in Japan.
I'm never ever going to let these go, no matter how much folks are willing to pay!

2004 AG1000 in black

Strengths:
Sound quality, Reliability, Does not need a stiff power supply to deliver power.

Weaknesses:
They are very long and can be a bit of a nightmare to fit. Can be a bit expensive!

Summary:
I used this amplifier for roughly 3 years and in that time all i gave the amp was abouse! What i got in return was bags of power with amazing sound quality. Not once did it overheat, clip, distort or begin to sound muffled! in a nutshell this amp is PERFECT!
