[QUOTE="zako, post: 7393599, member: 629735"] I have one. It seems alright, but I don't have experience with others. Basically, it seems to work as advertized. It can get hot when hammered but I haven't seen it go into protect mode yet. However, I wouldn't have bought this amplifier again. Why? The 60watts RMS channels seem borderline weak for higher end component speakers (something like Polk MM or Alpine Type R) while overkill for most rear speakers. I realize now it's much better to have cheap/original speakers in the rear running off head unit at the minimal volume. For my application, I'd prefer something like a higher power 4 channel sub rated 100watts per channel and around 400watts or more bridged (something along the lines of MB Quart ONX125, only $40 more expensive). Right now, I have the front channels bridged sending 150watts or so for the left component speaker, and the rear channels are bridged sending the signal to the right speaker (Alpine Type-R). The sub is RE SRX12D4, 300watt RMS, wired for 2 ohm load. The sub gain is at 50%, the speaker channel gain is at 25%. [/QUOTE]
