The only reason I'm giving this less then a 10 is because I have nothing to compare it to but the older Alpine that came with my vehicle. People complain about heat or other various things. I have this in a regular cab pickup...a 1978 Dodge truck with a bench seat. I have the amp configured 2 ohm stable with two Kicker 3 way 6x9 door speakers and bridged to 2 10 inch Rockford Fosgate subs that came with the vehicle in a sealed box. Everything is loud and crisp. I blast it for at least 2-3 hours non stop with no issues as I'm testing the vehicles cooling system and electrical system with new things I've installed since i just purchased the vehicle. It's a great value for the price that's for sure!
I don’t what all the fuss about the amp but I’m happy with mine. Been two months and the sound is really great. No problem with the build quality too. Don’t really have that much power as advertised but I still don’t have any issues with my full range speakers being paired with it.
