Great Amp!
Size: 1000W 5-Channel
Excellent amp serves the exact purpose I bought it for. I wanted good vibrant sound to run 4 door speakers and 1 10 inch sub. It works perfectly for my needs provides clean and loud high,low, and mids. This is a perfect amp for clear sound and plenty of low end all packed into 1 amp. I give it 5 stars as it does exactly what I need it to do. ... show more

Good amp
Size: 1000W 5-Channel
Works great, have a sub hooked up to the 5th channel. Haven't gotten the speakers hooked up yet but when I do I will update this review. Sub hits ok, its only a 10" pioneer shallow mount. The pioneer sub is made of harder material so it needs more power to push it. If I could do it over again I would get a different sub that didn't need so much power to push it. Sub does sound good but could bump harder and handle it. ... show more

No power

One of the worst amps I've ever bought. The stereo deck has more power. Returned it

Good 5 channel option, wish sub channel had more
Size: 1000W 5-Channel
Seems like a good all around amp for a whole car system. Has enough power for the four full range channels, kind of disappointed in the low frequency channel though. If you aren’t into a lot of bass but want decent lows from a subwoofer this amp should be good for you. I tend to enjoy a lot of bass so I find it lacking. I did have my sun running on a 500 watt jl audio amp that was only slightly better and interfered with radio reception and the key fob in my car. This has no interference and doesn’t put any out either. It’s not the Orion beasts from back in the day but for entry level it’s not bad. I’ve built many systems and took this option for my car this time due to power consumption limits and don’t want to upgrade to a second battery or bigger alternator. I I have this going to 2 3-way Orion cobalt 61/2” door speakers, 2 Orion cobalt 51/2” mid drivers and two nvx 3.5” tweeters. It runs all those quite well and it can get plenty loud to ruin your hearing in the car. Sub channel is running an 8” massive audio 500 RMS sub in a custom bass tube. If I play something like bassnectar it slams and is amazing for the price. I find it lacks that kick for non bass heavy music but it’s enough to fill in the low end and I wanted more of an SQ build not SPL. It’s small in size which is great for my needs. I have it my C6 corvette and it’s installed behind the waterfall which is very limited as far as space. I was initially worried about overheating in such a place without clearance around it and little airflow but it hasn’t been an issue. Worked great for 2 and a half hour drive in the AZ heat so hopefully it won’t have issues. Would I buy it again, yes I would. It’s a great option for a 5 channel amp. Never bought an Orion product I wouldn’t recommend going back to the 80’s. This is from the low end line of products so I wasn’t expecting to shake bolts loose or anything. If they made one with twice the power on the sub channel I would be all over that. Overall this is well worth the price tag for sure. ... show more

Sound quality is AMAZING!
Size: 1000W 5-Channel
Tiny powerhouse!! I have it powering a set of nvx 6.5 components and 6x9's power is supers clean, clear and LOUD!! Haven't yet, but will be adding a subwoofer in the near future. This was money very well spent!

Audiophile sound without too much fuss
Size: 1000W 5-Channel
I'm not a car audio nerd, but I do like my music to sound good. When upgrading a car audio system, it can get really complicated with running different speakers with different amps, and I'm just not quite that serious about it all. This compact amp fits under a seat easily and covers all the speakers with one unit. It made it easy to upgrade my car audio without having to get really technical. Easy to set up and plenty of power for my taste. ... show more
