Possibly .. Looks like a rockford bd. Give it good current, it should do near its rms rating.

blah...I personally wouldn't buy one. Spend the money an a amp made by a well-known and reputable company.

yea i know thats wat i usually do..i just happen to run across this amp and thought it was a decent budget amp..but I think ima save up for the aq2200 amp

That amp isn't doing rated and I can tell you why... they recommend 4/8 gauge power and ground leads... meaning at most 160 amps of currrent which does not translate into anywhere near 3200 watts

I'd love to see it benched tho... cuz if it's even pushing 1000 watts that wouldn't be half bad

youd be better off with a hifonics 2006d or 2407d then that amp you linked

Thats the same as a Power Acoustik...

I REALLY want to see a PA bench tested....

150amp fuse, so on a stock electrical at 13.8v and lets just assume 75% effiency that Kole will put out 1500wrms so no that wouldnt do it for you. I would agree to also look into hifonics or aq amps
