This is a great amp so far. I have never owned any Planet Audio equipment prior to now, nor had I really heard of them per se. I bought the amp based upon the other reviews and for the features and appearance. I love the speaker wire inputs. In my case, my car stereo is way too complex to replace the factory system. My factory stereo already has a subwoofer, so I just tapped the subwoofer speaker wires and pulled a remote lead from the existing wiring for the remote. My battery is in my trunk so I just tapped the positive and negative lines, added a fuse protector and went from there. I know that the "max" power ratings are really just silly but this amp does have more clean power than my 20 year old amp that finally melted down. I have clearer sound, better and harder bass than I had before and my previous amp was about 300 watts rms x 2 into 4 ohms. I am quite frankly shocked that you can get an amp this good for less than a hundred bucks. A few short years ago, this would have been a 500 amplifier, if not more. I am running two 4 ohm 12 inch Soundstream subs in parallel off of the single mono output, so it should be right around 2 ohms. The amp is supposed to be one ohm stable but I have no need to do that with my current setup. I have hit the amp with every kind of music from rock to pop to trunk rattling bass and it has not shut down or overheated at all so far. I also really like the aesthetics of the amp, the blue light on the front and the blue wraparound led’s on either side give it a very cool look in the trunk. Size wise, it is smaller than my previous amp but that could just be better packaging on the board. The finish on the amp is very good and all of the controls are nicely placed and fairly simple….
