It's a decent amp as long as you know that 2000 watts is an absolute lie. It's true power rating is 75x4 at 4 and 125x4 at 2. If that's the power you're looking for, at $120-$130 it would probably be worth a try.

so.... if my sub has 2000w max power... i don't have to buy an amp with 2000w max power

That is a definite right there, you should never run a sub at its max wattage rating.... you should always run a sub like a little over the rms suggested rating, and most of the manufacturers ratings arent needed, with audiobahn especially, i have two bahns that can hold 1k a peice, and i was feeding them 100 rms each and at full volume, they were moving a little less than now, im giving them around 300 rms.... so just becuz a sub can take 2000 watts max doesnt mean that to reach its full capaility it needs all the power it can take on.......

The 75x4 I listed is about right. Bridged into a pair of 4 ohm subs it should do about 200w a piece.

and distortion blows subs not watts.

But THAT is just plain wrong.

Dam your dumb, so you can throw 10,000 watts to any sub just as long as there isnt any distortion, and it will do just fine and work normal... yea good luck with backing that one up...
