I hooked up a volt meter and a oscilloscope to see where the distortion would start at on AMP when I turn up the gains.
Well….. I was only able to get 70 watts on all 4 channel clean power not the 113 watts @ 4ohms they claim.
As for the 5th channel it goes well beyond what they claim. No distortion and wattage was higher than advertised.
This amp is a great amp if all you’re looking for is to upgrade from a factory setup but becareful on how high you turn up the gains because they will distort and flat line causing you to blow your speakers and subs. I recommend you rent a oscilloscope and find your best gains.
I’m running 4 speakers alpine 5×7 type S and 2- 10inch JL 200Watt RMS subs wired in 2ohm format. This amp really makes them sound amazing. I wish the amp would push cleaner power in the range of 80-100 watts on the 4 channel as it claims but it only at 70.
So I give this this a solid 4 out of 5 stars for it’s price point.
Amp does get hot.
