[QUOTE="silencery, post: 433793, member: 554582"] Well, admittedly, I'm pretty newbie to car audio, but I think the iforce is absolutely awesome. Here's my setup: Crappy panasonic head unit. JL 6w0 Alpine SPX-177A components Zapco iForce i450 Of course, i'm bridging the rear to power the sub (which is also awesome btw), and the fronts are left for the components. Keep in mind that my car is a Toyota MR-S so I really don't need much for a nice setup IMHO; the cabin space is pretty small. The amp is certainly very nice, and the build quality is fantastic. I have seen the high-end zapco amps, and the quality of the iForce is something that you would definitely expect coming from them. Even though the iForce is marketed as a third tier product, I personally believe that this amp is probably comparable to other higher-end models. After hooking everything up, I was absolutely floored by how good everything sounded! One interesting feature of the amp is the remote bass gain control. This is a small optional module that you can attach (refer to original poster's pics) which will allow you to make quick gain adjustments for your third channel when it's bridged and set to low pass filter. The inclusion of this module affirms that this amp is designed for the budget market since a high-end user would most likely have a processor or head unit to compensate for these adjustments. I just recently started using it, and I must admit that I really find it useful.

I've been using this setup for about 3 weeks now. [/QUOTE]
