dude. no way a 200 dollar amp will put out 1200 watts even if it is only at 1 ohm. or 900 at 2. and if it does it wont last. theres gotta be something wrong with it otherwise everyone would have them.

to the OP- save up some money and buy a quality built amp. JL makes good amps (but very expensive), and im partial to my kicker amps (i know not many people here like them cause theyre power hungry) mostly because ive had 5 different kicker amps in and out of 3 cars and never had any issues with them for 2 years. people say ED amps are good amps too.

but nothing good will be cheap. better to buy something a little more expensive that will last once rather than buying something cheap that will blow up and then you'll be spending more on either another piece of crap or finally something good.

That $200 amp will put out around 1000 watts at regular voltages. I have installed a couple in budget setups and they are a great step above profile when it comes to good budget amps. Have you ever installed or owned a hifonics amp? I haven't personally owned one, but I have installed them for numberous friends and they are still working great after 4 years...

JL amps are not that great. That stupid output regulation makes them only work well with JL equipment. (You get no power benefits from lowering resistance)

Kicker amps are even more overrated then hifonics, but cost 50% less.
