Summary:
Good amp no distortion. However it does turn off when you turn up the music too loud. Sometimes having distortion on the subs makes the music better in my opionion. I had a jenson 300 watt amplifier and it was great. I rate these to be about the same.

Strengths:
hard hitting won't blow speakers

Weaknesses:
Turns off automatically
