Just wondering everyone's opinions on this amplifier. $250 for around 1500W into 1 ohm is pretty impressive and from what I have read they are really decent amplifiers. Opinions?

Hell event if they are Power Acoustiks stuff still aint bad. I've used one of those amps to power 2 RFR3110's, and they POUNDED. Wired them down to 1 Ohm for a while and I thought I was gona go deft. The only meter read I got for them was when I had them wired at 2 and it hit 162.3 dB's. These amps are the SHIZITEZ

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

Thats what it was, Crunch. I new it was something like that but power Acoustic just came to mind.

Thanks alot guys. I ended up purchasing the amp. Should be on my doorstep next week sometime. Can't wait. I will be running a single Alpine Type R 12" Dual 4 ohm sub with this thing, and I know I am not running it at its maximum output but 1000W into the Type R is plenty. Besides, the SQ of the amp is slightly better at the higher impedance.
Next up, the fiberglass project starting this weekend:
