I bought this amp brand new less than a year ago and it has already died on me. My entire system was professionally installed and sounded great but for the price of the amp I certainly expected it to last much longer. I will be purchasing the Alpine PDX-5 as the replacement since there is no warranty. I loved the amp but would warn anyone due to it's short life span. The amp was installed in my pickup which is used on weekends, etc. and I never neglected my system like someone younger may have done. Buyer beware!

I couldnt be happier with this amp.Im running 4 infinity 6 3/4 speakers and and infinity 12 inch boxed sub in my trunk.2 of the 6 3/4 in the front doors and two on the rear deck of my toyota corolla.I had to add 2 ground loop isolators to get rid of the whining sound from the alternator also.Im using a kenwood cd player in the dash that is made for the car.Sounds outstanding.I paid less than 1000 dollars for the whole setup which isnt bad for a decent car stereo.

I was worried after purchasing the amp because I read a poor review. Knowing that my daughter wanted a hard-hitting sub, I was worried. However, after listening to her stereo my fears were unwarranted. The stereo sounds great and my daughter is very happy with her system.

Bought from Hooked on Tronics for $250. That's the only reason it has three stars. It does sound better than the stock set-up, but marginally so, even with Alpine CDA-9885 AND Alpine Type S Component 5-1/4" (middle of the road components). If you stick with 50 watt RMS speakers, and are not too concerned with high volume quality audio and want better-than-stock performance from your car, then this is amp is for you. Bass is similar performance, even at 2ohms. Again, stick with lower end speakers to maximize sound quality at higher levels (ie: lower RMS rating, like a sub with 250 tops). Overall I paid for what I got. Nothing special, but enough to make higher than stock quality sound. (Even the Alpine deck alone sounded better). I notice that the highs are first to distort, usually the opposite every other amp I 've used.
