    Strength:

    Sounds great. Best buy around. compact.

    Weakness:

    Been happy with it so far.

    The amp is a great deal and a great sound. For people who load their car with 2 12 inch subs and an 800 watt amp, your spending too much. This might sound ridiculus, but my friend got just that in his car and all I have is 1 10" Kenwwod DB+ series sub hooked up to my small 280 watt amp and mine sounds better. If thier is one tip I can tell people it is to get thier audio installed by proffessionals and not some worker at a franchise store. The differance of getting things installed by proffessionals is the reason my small system sounds better than "show off" systems.

    Strength:

    Clean sound. Great SQ. Puts out twice the power rated at (according to birthsheet). Has NEVER cut off. Compact, fits under the seat of my Ford Ranger.

    Weakness:

    I have had absolutely no problems or complaints with it. I plan on using it for years to come.

    I have had it for almost a year. I use this amp to power a set of Boston Acustics components. I would defininatly reccommend this amp for running mids and highs. I wouldn't use it for a sub because I'm a power monger and use 3000+ watts for those ----->(digital designs). Very decent amp.

    Haven't used any other amps for my mids and highs before.

    Strength:

    Sound Quality
    Small Size

    Weakness:

    Small Dials on Back

    Very good sound quality, and enough power to drive Dual 10" MTX 6104 Subs.

    More wattage would be better, but I'm very satisfied with my purchase!

    Strength:

    Pushes my Cerwin-Vega 10 very nicely. Its nice and compact- great for small trucks.

    Weakness:

    Gets a little warm, but not bad.

    It was free, but it would be worth a "sale" price in my mind. Deserves 4 stars overall! 5 Stars for Value(for me atleast)!

    Model Reviewed: Blue Thunder Pro 752 (same thing)

    Strength:

    Lots of power. My birth certificate said 69w x 2 at 4ohm or 119w x 2 at 2ohm

    Weakness:

    Not reliable. The amp never turned off the whole time I used it until it died. When it died I wasn't even working it hard. I never dropped lower than 4 ohm bridged.

    I am very disapointed. It only had a 3 month warranty since I installed it myself. It was very pleasing when I used it. First I used it to power one 10. It blew that 10 (a cheap crankenstien-like sub) and so I hooked up a pair of 8 ohm 12" speakers from about 20 years ago (CTS brand) and it was amazing. I set of several car alarms with this setup!! Next I hooked up a single PPI C2 12" 4 ohm .. that was a really good setup.. I like this sub. Even just one sub and I got lots of good bass. Next I hooked up two 12" 4 ohm crankenstien-like subs (in series!) and it sounded pretty good but that's when it died. I plan to replace it with a 4 channel amp. Oh yeah it was good but it didn't last much longer than a year so if you buy it get a 3 year warranty!!

    Lanzar Vibe 240. Apex Senior. Peavey CS400 (not a car amp, but compared). Almost as good as the vibe, not as good as the apex senior (house amp) and not as good as the peavey (big surprise :P) I haven't tried many big brand amps.

    Strength:

    Very very very very powerful for its size and ratings

    Weakness:

    None, may get a little warm but don't all amps do

    I have two MTX 6000 15's and this thing pushed them with no problem... Look at the ratings and do you think this amp could push some 15s? I kill these 15s but the only problem is.... I don't really have a "trunk", have a hatchback and I want to point them at the window but I have to get another box for that. These 15s almost knocked the wind out of me before lol...

    Strength:

    VERY STRONG, Pushes me 2 12 inch MTX 6000's HARD, It's small and compact so it's not a big space user like larger weaker Amps that I've seen. HEY it's MTX so you CAN'T go wrong with it.

    Weakness:

    None that I can imagine mine works perfectly whenever i turn it on.

    This may be funny but, When I was having my 2 12's and my amp installed, This guy next to me was getting a BIGGER SONY amp that was more pricey and it didn't even hit as hard he bought 2 12's as well and didn't look very happy with the results but I was nice and complimented his system anyways....even though MINE TOTALLY BLEW HIS OUT IN BASS.

    Strength:

    It is very powerful, rated to push 325 watts bridged but I thought it would be aroudn 500 watts but the guy at Circuit City said that it would be even more than that. I heard a MTX 102 push 2 12's and that is smaller than this one, and it sounds strong enough to get you a full body massage. Perfect for the MTX 6000's.

    Weakness:

    Get's hot quickly, but doesn't cut off.

    I would recommend this amp to anyone who wants very strong bass cheap. If you bridge it, run a sub that runs around 300 watts RMS. I have two 10's soon to be two 12's soon and they will pound. I will have them bouncing off of glass so the bass will get even stronger. These things can beat 15's if you power them right.
