Well heres the story of SPL. They are manufactured by Power Acoustik or whoever manufactures them. If you look at Power Acoustik and SPL's amps it seems that they put different covers on the same amp to make different models. I also know that Power Acoustik owns or bought out Soundstream, but that doesn't mean that Soundstream's engineers now make PA or SPL's stuff. Well most important of all, there is an easy rule to should always apply, "You get what you pay for!"

I heard an SPL 1600 Watt amp (doesn't matter which model it is, because they're all the same on the inside) and it sounded ok. It was hooked up to a Power Acoustik 15" FUBR with dual 2 Ohm Voice Coils. The radio was a very weak radio; meaning it had a very weak RCA signal. The system had a Lanzar 3-way external crossover and its gain and the amps gain were turned all the way up and it didn't get too loud. Even thought it wasn't too loud, the lights dimmed severly and the system had a 1 Farad Capacitor. I think those amps aren't very efficient (meaning they need a lot of power to make power)! If you want an really good amp for subs check out the Hifonics Brutus Series, they have been highly praised and can be found on E-bay for around $150~$250. The Brutus amps are pretty cheap and offer a ton of features and power, plus they're efficient. All I have to say is read the features and reviews on the Hyperlink that I have left at the bottom of the page and know the difference between Max Power and RMS Power. https://www.sounddomain.com/shoplist~b~HiFonics~t~Subwoofer+Mono+Amps
