Summary:
I usually don't write reviews, but I have this amp and it is doing just fine for me. I am running to Rockford He2 12's on it. I think the amp is great. I dont even have the amp up that much!! I might have it up less than a quater. From what I am getting out of the amp I say it is efficient. I have no idea how many watts I have goin to each sub, but I do know I have it at one ohm. It handles it like nothing it stays cool to the touch. I have a 2 gauge wire going straight to the amp. I have no problem out of the amp its been working from day one. My next move is to go with the 3 Audiobahn Alum12X's,which will give me one ohm Straight. I will be back after my upgrade!!

Summary:
Got the amp after being back ordered for three weeks,credit card charged from day of order!Finally recieved amp and was impressed by the weight and looks.Got it hooked up and it sounded great,was truly impressed with Audiobahn.Had it driving two aw1200 subs at 1 ohm,for ten minutes!Shut the unit off and then turned it back on to show off to the wife, and snap!!!The smoke rolled and there went a month of waiting.Called Zeb and they said call Audiobahn.Sent the unit back after waiting for two weeks for a return authorization number,cost 20 bucks to send it plus another 9 for Audiobahn to send another.They promptly returned me a new one in three weeks,in the meantime I ordered a new Rockford Fosgate from Zeb,another 13 bucks for shipping!Sent the new aw1200 back to Zeb unopened,cost $75 restocking fee,plus $13 to ship it to them.Altogether a very expensive lesson,buy from Crutchfield on expensive items!An even better idea is to buy from a local retailer,but here in northern Maine that isn`t possible.

Strengths:
You get alot for what you are paying. While it worked for 25min, it was clear and powerfull.

Weaknesses:
It worked for 25 min!!!

Summary:
I got it for a realllly good price and I was really happy to finish installing it. After using it for about 25 min at 1/4 of the Gain and less than 20% Bass it went dead. The red and purple lights started flashing and something went wrong inside the amp sice I could hear clicking in there. I did the wiring right since Another amp was running just fine on the wires. I used 4 AWG power and Audiobahnh Sub wires and AudioBahnh 2000 pro RCA's. Also, I was running 2 AudioBahnh AW1200X 12" High Excursion Dual 4Ohm 700RMS at 1 Ohm. I couldn't send the amp back to Audibahnh sice I didn't get it from one of their distributors. I still haven't got it back from the guy I bought it from I just don't trust this product that much anymore.
