From what little I understand, expect a helluva lot of current draw and around 2700 rms out of it at 1ohm

I could be wrong though

But hell even then, I've thought about picking up one for a temp install

4gauge power for **** near 3kwrms?

that seems a little much..

I suppose its possible, it just seems contrary to current amp design

Considering the price tag and 5x30A fuses I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's WAY more likely that it's just very over-rated as opposed to a marvel of modern electronics, a solution to the world's energy crisis, and re-writing all laws of energy by being significantly better than 100% efficient.

I would be interested in figuring out the actual RMS of this for a temp setup in my car...

Moo.
