Review: Very Good - January 30, 2016 Best amp I have owned thus far and it performs outstandingly well. I have not had any issues with the amp and it pushes my subs no problem. January 22, 2020 UPDATE: The amp still puts out plenty of power 4 years later and it hasn't given out at all. Although, the "output master/input slave" slider has been seriously defective for me. The bass will cut out sometimes and I have to slide the switch back and forth until I find the "sweet spot" for the slider to make the bass come back. If they chose a different design for that switch it would have no issues. This issue started happening a little over 2 years of ownership. Review: Doesnt get hot. Powers well. - Great amp overall. I havent clamped it to see what it is pulling power wise. Powers my single 12 great. Doesnt get hot. I feel like it clips easy. But most of that comes from my music I believe. I just mind my gain. Just odd though considering how concerned SQBD is about it on their site. Either way decent amp. It does its job.

Bought as my first subwoofer amp
This amp was great and let me use it to its potential while I was first learning about car audio. Pretty soon after I upgraded to their 2200 W model and it really fills out what you've been missing with this. I'd go straight to the 2200 instead of buying this because as soon as you get to a volume where it's loud enough to shake things, you're clipping. The 2200 is a little bit better about it. Still, if it's either this or a brand that makes TV's, choose this.

Two 500 watt Sundowns Like Butter

Great job Soundqubed
If you're looking for a high powered amp and at a cheap price, you have come to the right place. I paired this with my DC audio lv. 3 12 and it is one of the cleanist systems I have heard. Bass knob came broken but they quickly sent me a new one. Great job Soundqubed!!!
