Crunch is one of the best low budget/entry level amps. I had a P1500.1 for a year, sold it to a friend and its still working 2 years after that. And this thing has been beaten on all its life (1ohm load at high volume constantly) They run hot but are pretty solid amps and they do very close to rated power. My guess is you've probably never owned a Crunch product and are just talking out your azz.
