Of course it’s not a true 4000 watt amp. It’s kind of a given if you pay less than 150 for a 4000 watt amp. For the price it’s not a bad deal. When you buy amps like this one don’t run it on 1 ohm stable. I had a 4000 watt boss amp hooked up to a 15-inch sub at 2 ohm stable. I ran that amp for three years with no problems beating down the block and obviously it’s going to take a crap I only paid 120 bucks for it. You get what you pay for if you want a 4000 watt amp you’re going to pay more and just a hundred fifty bucks. And also with these cheap amps don’t run it at 1 hours the heat up quicker. Run it at 2 it last longer.
