They are what I call an "okay" amp. They do good power, not quite rated from my experience, but they certainly aren't a crap amp.

sundownz is right on the money.
They won't quite reach the wattage levels that their manuals/published ratings might lead you to believe... though it isn't the gross discrepancy that you find on many Pyramid or Boss or other amps of that ilk.
Outside of that one little foible of being a smidge optimistic with their output claims in my experience (and I have owned several) Profile amps are really tough to beat for the money - providing that you do not ask more of it than it can provide to you.
If you're looking at buying one retail then get it from Crutchfield. All Profile purchases through them extends the manufacturer's warranty from 1 year to 3 years just by virtue of buying through them.
If you're looking to get on off of eBay then have a look at the inventory of the user barneyselectronics.
He's a no joke seller - you pay, he ships, end story.
And he keeps Profile amps of varying types in inventory pretty consistently. He's no *****-shipper - if his listing says he's got it then it goes out the 1st day following you remitting payment. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
Also a good source to check is http://www.ProfileUSA.com and have a look at the online store.
Very often they post refurbed units at very significant discounts and they're still warrantied for 1 year. As it is the actual manufacturer doing to refurbishing rather than a third-party source you can trust that the refurbishment was completed properly.

I've bought a few from millionbuy and have been very happy with them.
I think they're fine for running coax's, lower end comps, & subs that aren't too power hungry.
Even if over rated, just buy a bigger model that's rated for more power as they're pretty inexpensive.

I got one of their California series AP2000 to feed my 2 subs and so far I have been quite pleased with it. Wasn't looking to spend an arm and a leg and got it practically BNIB with only a couple of hours of use for a good price from another forum member. If you got a tight budget pick up a profile and never look back.
And everyone else has already posted all the places to pick em up, good deals right there.
