Summary:
I got this at a great price (closeout floor model) $145. i have had 2 Rockford-Fosgate Series 1 12"s with no amps for about a year, they worked out great as Rear speaker alternatives. about a week ago i thought i should incest in a small amp to push them a little harder. i got the 6152 for cheap and installed quickly. my first impression was "i gotta buy a different amp." and was not impressed at all, but that was fixed in a rush. the built in x-over was set funny from being a floor model. after i set it to my liking, i was greatly impressed. that little amp pushed the hell out of those old rotting 12's. i love it, i would strongly recommend buying this as an entry level amp for the begining audio tuner.

Strengths:
Great,reliable power. Looks sweet, gain controls in easy reach, easy to hook up wires to it.

Weaknesses:
Overheats after about 45 minutes of long,loud bass. Keep in mind this is in Louisiana where it is 98 degrees but the heat index is like 112 degrees plus its in a trunk with insulation. But when the amp gets too hot it cuts off and cuts back on after about 2 minutes...its aggrivating but keeps the amp's internal parts from melting and makes the amp last practically forever.

Summary:
I use to have 2 Polk Ex 12's in a 6 port bandpass box with a Kenwood 818 mono-block amp running them. The subs blew so I got 2 MTX 6000 10's. About a month later the amp fried so I got a MTX 6152 amp and put it on my 2 10's. It is twice as loud as my old sub's. People that hear it ask me if I have 4 15's in my car and I tell them no...just 2 10's. And they don't believe me and ask me to pop the trunk and they see 2 little 10's and just freak out.
