looks pretty neat. im sure its quality since its RF.

um, kicker makes something like that........ and they are honest at 100watts, which they do not use to prey on open market newbs. it has no p/s, so it is limited to your vehicle voltage at the outputs, and efficiency will drop that...... definitely not a conventional 300w x1 amp, and defiantly not worth $200, imho. it's just a little line driver to add a cheap sub to your stock speakers

i refuse to pay 200 for 300 watts no matter how small it is man :/

Birthsheets are around 420w like the regular sized p300-1 just uber compact like two cigg packs next to each other

Looks niffty but probably limited in how you can use it... Hey wicky any more thoughts on my DD?

I'm still tossing the idea around. Tryin to find a way to bandpass it and still have room In my trunk. If u still have it after a few weeks pm me and I'll see if I can take it off your hands. Money isn't tight right now but it isn't smart to just blow it and be broke.

Funny how its advertised as a monoblock but states it has 2/4 channel switch.

 

[winkychevelle 10+ year member]

It's a mono that must be a miss print. I have actually seen these in person when the rep came down to the shop and they are just the regular punch 300 shrinked down. Can fit in a dash pretty easily too.

The JL XD600/1 makes twice the power (and then some) but is only marginally larger at 8-1/2"W x 2"H x 7-3/8"D.

I am sure the little RF will do rated plus alittle more too. Watched a video on Youtube from CES and got a great breakdown on the technology used in these little amps. Some really innovative stuff coming out right now from JL, RF, JBL, PPI and Kicker.

You have no idea how lucky you are to be into car audio right now. When I started, a RF Punch 45 was almost $200!

Kids these day's have NO Idea how much money they save on gear today.

I remember paying 300.00 new for a M50 50rms a channel and around 240.00 for a Autotek Model 44.
