Great amp, small price, small size....HUGE SOUND!
By David A. Lane
I purchased this amp by recommendation from a professional installer/retail outlet. Of course I purchased the unit from amazon. He told me amazon was selling this amp BELLOW his cost. I currently have three amps in my car system. This one was for my 6x9 polk audios. I use the built-in high pass crossover set at about 100-110 hertz. About 99% of the amps out there use peak ratings instead of RMS which is what they use on all home equipment. Typically, regardless of manufacturer. they are about 1/3 or in some cases 1/5th the peak rating in actual rms. By comparison, Planet audio rates their amps at about 85% or higher in rms. For example, this amp is 1200 peak/600 watts peak per channel x two (stereo). But the rms is 485 watts x two. I have a PYLE 1000 peak/500 watt peak per channel x two & the rms is a pitiful 145 watts rms. Now figure that one out for yourself...do you want 485 watts rms per channel or 145? They are also smaller in size, cleaner in thd (.01), better in signal to noise ratio (110). All this stuff amounts to an amplifier that is nearly double or better in quality than any amp out there at nearly double the price. An added feature is a control knob you can mount anywhere in reach to turn the bass up or down ten decibels. Whats neat is that it uses a standard telephone cable that is supplied & if something were ever to happen to your original wire, any telephone cable would replace it. To put it bluntly, you would be a complete moron to buy any other brand of amp with very, very few exceptions (American Bass for example is better but BOY are you gonna pay more).

Worth It, Pleasent Surprise
By Stonej01
I just bought his amp yesterday and i installed it and took it for a test drive today. I have to say i was skeptical at first because i was replacing my 300 watt, unrated and non-fused JL audio amp with a brand that i never heard of for a fraction of the price. Just for perspective my previous setup was the JL audio G1300 monoblock amp pushing 2 Kicker 07CVR124 speakers wired to 1 ohm on an 80 amp fuseblock. So i was pulling waaaaay more wattage out of my 300 watt amp than it was rated for. Decided i was gonna match my speaker correctly at 2 ohms and throw that old amp in the wife's car. I got the new amp installed and took it away from the house so i could really turn it up. There was no need, i have the gain set at about 1/4 and the speakers kicked out bass that the other amp was producing at 3/4. i ran this thing with the gain up and toggled the bass boost up and down for 45+ minutes and it got hot, but just below burn yourself hot and my subs hit hard. I actually had to turn the gain down because my dynamated truck was starting to rattle again (99 Ford Expedition). I still need to mess with the setting a bit more to find my sweet spot but i have to say its a good buy. If i manage to overheat it or throw it into protection mode I'll post another review. Just thought i would try to give a comprehensive review in stead of "it's nice" or "works great"

By As Oceans Wave
This amp is fantastic, and really will push your subs and produces quality sound. I love the low pass filter I have this powering two 12s, and ordered some 12 inch planet audio subs which meet this amps specs, and very excited to throw those in. If your thinking about buying this amp. DO IT!! I've researched for a couple solid months, very happy with this purchase, and it arrived fast. Amazing product.
