Strength:
Easy to set up, looks sleek, great price, don't need a dedicated sub preamp out from the head unit, good power, everything I need in one package, great price, fan cooled. Did I mention great price?
Weakness:
Some people don't like that it sums the front and rear preamp inputs for the sub, but my head unit only had 2 preamp outs anyways, so I obviously didn't mind. I got this from Crutchfield on closeout for $250. A total steal. This amp has everything I need for my desires. A channel for each speaker, and one for the sub. (I haven't hooked up a sub yet, but I am planning on getting a small 8" sealed box sub, and I imagine it will be able to power that nicely.) It looks really nice, and sounds amazing hooked up to my Sony ES CDX-C910 head unit. If you want a great sounding system on the cheap, instead of blowing the neighbors away with booming bass (which I *hate*), I highly recommend this amp. Similar Products Used: None |

Strength:
Design, performance, easy to use.
Weakness:
Sub amp ain't that great, BUT it ain't that bad either I like this amp, but if your going to use the sub channel, it works best with subs that don't crave a lot of power, I am running a JBL 12" sub and it's the perfect match. Great amp. |

Strength:
Simple install,crossovers, realistic reproduction. Subs are not overpowered but in my application I can make it pretty loud.
Weakness:
No seperate inputs for sub. It is taken from the 4 main inputs. Thus a seperate sub output on your receiver is useless. Paid about 560 Can. Which was average but not great. Used the high level inputs and got outstanding perfomance from a crappy ACdelco Cdplayer. Put a 12inch sub and a pair of rockford components on it. With tweaking I could get decent but not ear pounding bass. Similar Products Used: phoenix gold crap. |
