    Class D amps are really hard to fry. But now pioneer isn’t a really good brand. Back in the day they were but now they have other companies manufacture their products. I do not recommend getting anything Pioneer .

    Salesperson ordered a car amp when I had told him I needed a home amp. It was very easy to return it and get the correct amp, So overall it turned out fine, since I don’t live very far from Best Buy.

    Amp does not power as it states. It keep going into safety mode even with the bass low. It did not work properly for me. Might work for a small single 8 or 10 inch sub but would not power 2 -12's.
