my friend has that exact amp. now people say, avoid ma audio may not have expierce with them. they have been around for a while they had changed there name to ma after something else. it pushes his 12s fine. its decently cool looking. plus you get white gloves for the install, lol.

I have always liked MA.. and for $100 bucks wut could it hurt.. I have heard the 1998D and 2000D and they both pushed hard.. just buy it and if you dont like it then resell..

for $100 that's a great amp

if i do buy these amps they will each be pushing their own 12 inch 2 ohm kicker cvx or a diamond audio d6 (haven't decided yet). so it should give them enough power. Do u think these amps really put out 800 watts at 2 ohms?

Are you looking at that amp on CarTronixPlus.com??

If so - the specs on that amp are listed as 400w RMS @ 4 Ohms and 800w MAX @ 2 Ohms along with 800w MAX output.

If I'm reading that right I would suggest 550-600w would be a more realistic RMS output when given a 2 Ohm load rather than 800 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Ive used a bunch of MA amps, they are pretty good for being really cheap. I have never had a real problem with them at all.

do they put out as much rms power as they say?

I had the MA HK401SX, and it was pretty good compared to my Orion 1200D.....People say don't buy their products usually not having had tried them themselves, but they are great budget buys.
