I got this amp about a month ago and I have to say I am nothing but impressed so far. I have it pushing my 1 alpine class E 12" sub at 500w rms for both the amp and sub and it hits HARD. It pushed the alpine perfectly without overheating or any other issues. Im running it on the bridged connection and it is working flawlessly. On the topic of heat, ive never seen this amp get hot enough to be concerning. I had a two hour drive with the sun going and the amp was warm, but not hot. I also have it mounted to the side of my sub box, where there is plenty of ventilation,and it stays plenty cool. I have it powered by 8 gauge wire and it seems to be doing just fine. I was shocked by the size of the amp though, I expected it to be smaller than it was. The design looks very sleek, and the blue ANARCHY that lights up adds the finishing touch. Now for the adjustments and settings. It has all the basic stuff like gain and low pass frequency, but It also has bass boost, which I personally have turned off. Also, the adjusters can be turned by hand, or a flathead screwdriver. The amp also comes with a subwoofer level remote, which only works if you have LOW PASS FREQ. selected. It will not affect the sub if its on high pass, or both low and high. This is a great buy for anyone looking for a cheap, but fantastic amp to push 1 or two subs.
