What's great about it: Built in fans
Have this amp hooked up to 2 alpine type r 10's and using a kenwood 6180 head unit - great power but must be adjusted properly and have to have a good quality built box . I have it in a 08 silverado and it shakes everything . And it's not even turned up past half way . My box is junk and I think this amp and speakers are going to break the box.
The built in fan is one of the things that sold me on this amp.

What's great about it: POWER!!!!!
What's not so great: Nothing
I have this amp for a 3 1/2 years. I have it running 1 12" Rockford P3 w/ duel 4ohm voice coils bridged, and a 2 Farad cap. This is ported box in a 2008 Ford Taurus. This amp is amazing, 139.4 dB is my best. I think this amp could easily handle more, but my sub i don't think could. With the fans on the amp it will stay cool for hours of hitting hard.
I do have my headlights dim when i have it very loud, but the only time i had it cut out is when a wire broke off the terminal, Geek Squad was able to fix it under the extended warranty in about 5 days. The only negative of this amp (and sub) is i have broke 3 tail lights in the past year, i switched to L.E.Ds so that shouldn't be a problem.

What's great about it: The Power
This amp is a beast but you have to realize what you are buying. This is an 1800w amplifier kicking out 900rms so there is a very good chance that you will have to upgrade your alternator or install a 2nd battier to use the available power. If your alternator is already giving 160-amp or more then you will probably be fine. A 200-amp alternator will be best if you are running another amplifier for your mids and highs. However, if you only have 130amp alt like me then you will not be able to turn this amplifier up higher than half volume before the base goes out. The person that rated this product one start did not realize that the problem is not the amplifier it is there setup. Even at half volume this amplifier bumps, after a couple of days of use the vibrations broke my rear break light. So buy this amplifier, a 2nd battery, dynamat your trunk, and add locktite to the bolts in your trunk.
FYI - a capacitor will help it hit harder but will not keep your headlights from dimming and after the capacitor is drained the base is going to go out. I am pushing two KFC-W3013PS with this amplifier and have a 5-fraud capacitor. As stated before my alternator is only kicking out 130amps so after a few minutes my capacitor is drained and I have to turn the volume down to keep the base from going out. It still bumps but I am waiting on my second battery and relay to be delivered so that I can really tick off my neighbors.

What's great about it: Looks, performs and sounds great.
What's not so great: Nothing.
I'm a car audio specialist here at Best Buy.
I bought this amp to power my 2 Kenwood 3012 subwoofers. Since this amp pushes 900 watts RMS at a 2 ohm load it was best for me.
It sounds great and dims my headlights. With a big amp like this you'll need to replace your battery with something that can handle the pull. I'm also placing a battery in the trunk to accomodate the amp's power need.
Another great thing about this amp is that it has a built in cooling fan. Most amps don't which can be dissapointing when they over heat.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's not so great: Nothing
I've had this amp for over a year now powering two Fosgate Punch 12's and have yet to have a single complaint about it. I am one of those people who likes to push equipment to the limit, and this amp always responds. I mounted the amp on the side of my box for the 12's in the rear of my Scion tC, out in the open, so it could breathe well. The built in fan is slightly audible from time to time, and that's about the only thing I can find negative to say about this amp. Granted, like I said, it's out in the open. If it was tucked away in the spare tire area like my other amps are, it wouldn't even be a problem at all.
I've owned dozens of high power amps over the years, and this ranks right up there with the best. Especially for the price.
