    • BEST BUDGET AMP OUT THERE !
Size: 500 Watt RMS Class D Monoblock
I got this amp to power my 2, 12 inch subs and I have to say this thing makes them subs sounds crazy I love it I haven’t had any trouble with it it works like a charm and when you first started up, it will start making some sound like a fan running in it it’s quite loud, but it really doesn’t bother me because I keep it in my trunk and I can’t hear it at all. It hasn’t overheated. I haven’t had any trouble and it’s amazing for the price. ... show more

I ran this mini 500W amp through my tests including RMS Power output tests using the SMD Amp Dyno. The little Skar amp performed as advertised, no surprises. Skar has an Amp Dyno as well and confirms their ratings with all of their amplifiers. See the attached image of the Amp Dyno results if you're interested in the numbers. You can also see the size comparison to the Sundown SAM-500D, which is not only quite a bit more expensive, but also has the marine coating on the board (whereas the Skar does not). That said, I'd be careful using this Skar SK-M5001D in any environment where getting wet is a possibility. It's better suited for small spaces inside the vehicle. The amp powered the custom 600 watt 12" subwoofer (D2) in the acrylic enclosure with no issues. Sound was deep and dynamic with plenty of output. I also had a technician review the internal components and minus the old design of the driver card with known overheating problems, the amp was given a passing rating. Overall great value for the money. Dereck from Williston Audio Labs ... show more

    • It's the best you can get at this price.
Size: 400 Watt RMS Class D Four Channel
The amplifier is in itself built well and performs as you can expect a budget friendly amp will. As per sound quality I installed this on my truck and it is quite comparable to the 600$ old kenwood that came out of it. It however does have some things to note that are important at this price point, the warranty is voided as soon as you install this thing, the internal components however good are still basic in nature, the installation process is slightly tedious with the output side clip but is expected, and the amp does get quite warm. Because the amp is basic in nature it lacks (at least in my experience) a line filter so that power from your alternator does not affect sound quality. You can simply buy a noise suppressor for the power feed to solve this issue. I did experience the fan never turning off and this was a problem as it does make an audible noise while on. I after already installing the unit and figuring this out, decided to break down the amp and disconnect the fan altogether. There is a simple clip you undo that is delicate but doable. THIS WILL VOID A WARRANTY. But it did solve my problem and after dynoing my 4 door speakers at full throttle for 20 minutes my amp did not get hot just the warmer side of things. After all the little fan didn't do much. I only did this because my amp is mounted by floating brackets under my passenger seat; if this was in a glove box or the trunk of a car there would be no problem. Other than the the sound quality is clean and powerful, the unit is built well and on the good side of heavy (not feeling cheap), and I can expect it to last. Update* the amplifier died after a few months of running it hard. However if you run it well within its ratings I believe it should hold up well ... show more

    • Poor and inefficient thermal design characteristics
Size: 900 Watt RMS Class D Five Channel
Bought 2 of these amps 1 in 2023 and around a year Amp cant handle any heat whatsoever. If it was more than 80 degrees in the cabin it would go into thermal protect and constantly reset itself. Out of warranty so i got a stinger and when switching out noticed it had no fan at all. Thought fluke so next car ordered another for a different car lasted a week before same problem occurred. Noticed on the 2nd Amp there was a fan installed sweet until after a week fan bearing is squealing. Skar made this Amp useless for anyone not in Antarctica. Poor and inefficient design. Amps being sent back. ... show more

    • I gotta admit this amp is a lot of bang for the buck.
Size: 900 Watt RMS Class D Five Channel
As someone who has been into car audio for several decades I was very skeptical that this amp would perform for this low of a price. I read reviews and watched YouTube vids of amp dynos and this amp is legit. It puts out more power and sound than my alpine amp I replaced with it and for a fraction of the cost. It’s definitely worth the money and it performs very well. I haven’t had any problems with it so far and it hasn’t shut down from heat or anything either. I’m pretty impressed and I think you will be too. I’m definitely recommending it and if you’re on the fence about it, go for it. ... show more
