[QUOTE="SlugButter, post: 8755329, member: 678073"] I am running the Brazilian full bridge amplifiers, and I am not super impressed. The 4 channel is decent I guess but the mono amp isn’t making me want another one. I’m not running the big power you guys are running, but I can see some issues on these even with the lower power amps. Im only at 1400 rms @ 1 ohm. The fan is loud and stays on all the time, the power input and ground doesn’t accept 4 gauge without trimming it down significantly, no adjustable crossover at all on the mono amp (the 4 channel does have an adjustable crossover). I do like the clip lights, but I never had a problem with clipping before that existed anyway. I haven’t tried to pull all 1400 watts out of this amp as of yet, but running a few different subs of varying rms ratings on it, I’m finding that it might make close to rated power. When I see that there are 60 amps worth of fuses on a 1400 watt rms amp, I start to get skeptical though. I’m going to throw 2 audio legion armada subs on it and see if it can get the 1200 rms today. I’m fully expecting to buy another amp this afternoon while roasting marshmallows on a Brazilian heat sink……. [/QUOTE]
