For the price this is the best deal I’ve seen. 66 bucks shipped for the amp and wires. I installed it in about 2 hours, hardest part was pulling up the panels and getting the wires through. The rest of the wiring was painless, they give u everything you need. I would highly recommend the add a circuit for tapping in to the fuse block. No wire splicing, super easy to take out later and worked well for me.About the amps performance: I hooked it up to a single 10 inch kicker cvr (Silver, older model) recommended for 400 max rms. I’m running this amp at 4 ohms, not 2. What I’ve found is that I have the setup that is recommended for longevity and health of the sub system. The amp is over powered for the sub, so I have to turn the amp down some, reducing the work load of the amp, and it’s in 4 ohm so that dramatically reduces the workload from the start. The subwoofer would become distorted at high levels so I turned down the output and now I’ve found the sweet spot where it hits really hard but also clean tones. I haven’t installed the remote control yet, don’t think I’d really use it. It does work but I think I’d just rather have the bass up all the time, maybe later I’ll get tired of it and want the quick adjustment feature. I’ve played really loud music for almost an hour with a lot of bass and gone to the trunk to check how hot it’s getting and it’s barely warm. Very impressed with the setup.I think getting a quality subwoofer, something that can handle all the watts you’re throwing at it well is more important than the amp being super accurate and high quality. Time will tell how this amp holds up but so far it’s been a great fit for 1 10 inch at 4 ohms. And 2 ohms I’d be willing to bet it would push 2 subwoofers well.The size of the amp made it easy to screw to the back of the 10 inch subwoofer box. It’s made for a pretty clean install. Then I made an L bracket and screwed in to the floor of the trunk and the box, it doesn’t move at all when driving.Keeping the trunk space usable was very important to me, so a little 10 is very noticeable, shakes mirrors, u hear it outside the car some, and is a great addition to my 2012 civic which has a loud factory setup, yet it doesn’t take up too much room in the trunk so it’s the best of both worlds in my eyes.Oh one note, the amp barely bumps at all with the bass boost option turned off. But once I turn it on it claims an 18db boost and it really comes alive. I tapped in to the rear speakers high outputs for my speaker input. Made it easy to run less wires(no rcas) and I didn’t have to pull the dash apart to get to the back of the head unit. The amp gets a crystal clear signal and handles the high output levels very well.
