Price Paid:  $190.00 from new on ebay

Year / Model Reviewed:
2000 PA5422

Strengths:
If you want an amp that will play really, really loud clearly and is versatile enough to power seperates with authority or Four 2 ohm subs @ 200 watts (RMS) WITHOUT clipping...then look no further ! This amp is what most amps hope to grow up to be like !

Weaknesses:
Dont crank the volume too quickly or else you will get hit in the ankles by your dust caps!

Summary:
The pinnacle of Fujitsu Ten. The FLAGSHIP "D CLASS" AMP. For competition or just for yourself. Either way, you wont be dissapointed. This amp doesnt play its a "take no prisoners" piece of equipment and as far as service? Dont know, because mine has been used daily for 3 yrs without a single issue.

Strengths:
Clear & crisp sound with good power

Weaknesses:
Breaks down and customer support is horrible. Expect 3 to 6 months before you get it back.

Summary:
On paper this is a wonderful product that delivers a clear, crisp sound. However, I am now looking at returning this amp for the THIRD TIME IN THREE YEARS. The worst part is the customer service aspect of Eclipse is HORRIBLE. Expect up to 3 months turnaround. I'd consider a different brand! It bothers me to say it but you will wind up hating the service more than you will enjoy the system. I have heard from others that they too have had the same experience as myself. Sad but true.

Strengths:
Tight, clean bass. Accurate highs. Solid feel to the unit.

Weaknesses:
Ummm...I'll have to get back to you when I find one.

Summary:
Awesome amp. Tight, clean sound coming from a pair of MB Quart Premium components. No distortion at high volumes and I haven't even gotten a 2nd pair of comp's yet for my rears. I'd recommend this amp to anyone who appreciates SQ over volume.
