Great for low wattage car stereo.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this amp to replace my Directed 750 amp that started to go in and out. It pushes two Pioneer Premier Championship Series 4 Ohm DVC subs nicely. I recommend running them in series. Parallel may put too much strain on the amp. I would buy and recommend this amp to anyone that wants to have a great sounding system without paying a high end price.

A1 AMP
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have this amp hooked up to a Rockford p3d215 in a sealed Q Power Bomb Box and its slaps HARD! The bass on my kenwood radio is turned ALLL the way down. The bass knob is also turned ALLL the way down and it still slaps. This amp pushes out good power. You won’t be disappointed.

Ok amp for the price
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this amp after researching compatibility for my Kicker 12"L7-D2ohm Wired it to 1 ohm, 750rms, not bad for a pioneer but did get disappointed after for the first time this weekend After 90 minutes of continuous playing at high volume it did overheat, that's why I'm giving it the 4 stars. But overall it's a beast in a little foot print...

Best Amp for my Factory deck,Delivers Bass I need.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the best amp for my Toyota Camry factory deck. I have 2 alpine Type S and they sound amazing. Very clear loud and clear bass. I like that it comes with a wired remote that I ran to the front of the car. I can now control the bass since I only have a factory deck. Before I would have to keep messing with the bass by going back in the trunk to access the amp. Now its as simple as turning the knob to the desired bass. I'm loving this so far. Have no thermal or heating issues. Also very affordable.

Excellent match for Kicker CompR
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.-Purchased this amp for a single Kicker compr (800w RMS) 1 ohm- Amplifier does not cut out, or lose volume with loud, or continuous bass. I was a little weiry to purchase a pioneer amp, as I have never owned one, or have had a friend who owned one. I would have to say I am very impressed. The amp stays nice and cool and would very easily compare to the kicker/polk version of this amp class. The remote gain is supplied but is a little hard to turn. I would recommend mounting it in a location where the actual control is sticking out where your thumb and forefinger can turn it. If it is flush with the dash it is difficult to turn. I would recommend this to a friend.

This thing is amazing!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I incorporated this unit into a Best Buy sub package for my SUV including: - JBL - CX Series 12" Single-Voice-Coil 4-Ohm Subwoofer – Black, Model: CX1200 - Pioneer - 1600W Class D Digital Mono MOSFET Amplifier with Wired Bass Boost Remote – Black, Model: GM-D8601 - Metra - 12" Single Ported Subwoofer Enclosure for Most Trucks and SUVs Charcoal, Model: TCTSP-112 Fortunately, most have been on sale at BB recently, and the whole package cost under $300. Cable kit and installation (if needed) will be extra, of course (~$150 at BB). It is an understatement to say that I was amazed at the quality and level of bass that I am getting out of this <$300 amp/sub combo. If your SUV needs a sub and you still have a budget to keep in mind, don’t hesitate to give this combination a try.

awesome little amp
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This amp is very flexible and powers my Pioneer champion series great at 4ohms-300watts. It makes the inside of my hatchback feel like a jackhammer beating inside. I can only imagine this amp at 1ohm , serious power for the price.

Not 1600 watts
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I hooked it up and was not satisfied at all. Pioneer is a great company and I had never had any problems in the past, but as for this amp, it really should be rated at 600 watts because thats what it sounds like.
