leave them alone. expensive because of a cool name. if you like the look of ample but want something reliable go with alphasonik I hear good things. ample is a visonik pretty much and visonik is crap. do what I did got the cheaper route and you want be sorry, if you have the ability to run mutiple amps and can achieve several 2 ohm loads, get some ap1000m's by profile from etronics. PROFILE amps POUND, true to power and cheap! 99.00 dollars a piece, you could buy four of them for the cost a decent ample amp. 4x500=2000watts RMS =400$ do the math brow. its the best deal out right now. I have installed 16 of those amps and run four them myself and there great!
