Perfect amp
Size: 5-Channel 1200W
Blown away by the high quality sound this amp puts out. Pushing Orion 6.6 and 6x9 with dual 8 subs all 2 ohm and it all sounds amazing. No complaints

Great value! 1 amp for whole system
Size: 5-Channel 1200W
Powers full system with a rather small footprint. Current powering 4 pioneer 6x8 and a JL audio 10” HO wedge enclosure. System sounds clean and punchy. Amp runs cool. My only minor complaint is that the RCA input is on a pigtail.

Best 5 channel amp on the market!!!
Size: 5-Channel 1200W
This amp is the perfect balance in power between the 4 channel highs and the sub amp portion. Most 5 channels at any price point have a much weaker sub amp only being equal in power to the to the 4 channel portion. Signal is super clean and free of any noise in my install. The sub amp seems very true to its rating. The last install I did was some years ago and was a Rockford Fosgate Power 600A4 and a Power 800A2, in terms of power and quality this little amp is an equal to the high end Giants of yesteryear. It is a crime this amp dropped in price, at $300 this amp would still be an amazing deal! At the current price of $143 JUST BUY IT!!!!!!!!! ... show more

It's ok, we'll see
Size: 5-Channel 1200W
got this to replace my 40 year old class AB sony xm4040 running in 3 channel mode with a external crossover... things I liked: Compact size, good range on built in crossover, no ventilation holes topside, so don't have to worry about accidental water intrusion. Great instructions, and the ability to bridge to 3 channel mode... Thing I didn't like: RCA's on a dongle! my bad, didn't notice that on pics when shopping. I wouldn't have minded so much if they had mad separate plugs for each pair, but now I got the cluster of unused rca's hanging out other thing was week bass using a 4 ohm woofer. I been using an old home audio cerwin vega sub woofer, which really ohms out at nearly 5 ohms....meaning the woofer is getting less power, so I went ahead and ordered a DVC 12 so I can run the sub at 2 ohms. If you're running a 4 ohm woofer, I think you'll be disappointed with bass output. I really don't like using low ohm loads on amps as they tend to run hotter. I actually had to turn the highs down to about 1/4 to bring the bass up. My only hope is that it really handle the ohms load as I had to crank it so much the protection mode light was blinking... I will update my review when I get the new sub, but really think an amp should be balanced not dropping the load to max it out other than that I think its a well made amp, and would like to see it running 2 6x9s 2 10s and a 18 or something like that, as the main channels have plenty of power ... show more

Great amp, but missing essential parts!
Size: 5-Channel 1200W
Fantastic amp, have used them a couple times in different vehicles. Though they updated the design and the manual does not reflect these changes. The one I Just ordered no longer has screw down terminals for the speaker outputs, rather it’s a plug in harness pigtail for the speaker outputs. This wouldn’t be a problem except for the fact that it DIDNT INCLUDE THE HARNESS PIGTAIL! Essentially no reasonable way to hook it up or use it. Will try to work with stinger to get the parts, just a hassle. ... show more

Good value for the money, works well ??? 12 speaker JBL.
Size: 5-Channel 1200W
Good value for the money, great choice in upgrading / repairing the hacked-up 12-speaker JBL system in my father's Avalon. Pro tip for this sort of situation, eight 4-ohm speakers wired in series pairs, makes for 8 ohm circuits and you only have to crank the gains up a little more.

Stinger impressions
Size: 5-Channel 1200W
This is second stinger amp I got. The first one to be fair got delayed and then somehow supposedly got delivered after I cancelled it only to walk out my door the later that night and it was gone. I’m assuming the carrier came back to pick it up. The second one I received on time and after I hooked it up it doesn’t turn on. I checked all my wiring and the speaker load and it should be with the tolerances of the amp but it doesn’t work. I have a 10 in stinger player in my jeep and it works fine. I hope this is just coincidence. ... show more

Works great once your fix the inputs being out of phase- that's why the poor bass complaints.
Size: 5-Channel 1200W
This little amp is a powerhouse. Used it to retrofit Burmester in a Merc. C300 Base and added a 12" sub. Very flexible options for input signals and crossovers very quiet and small. Its hands down a great option for a simple system at ANY price point. Regarding the complaints of weak bass output here- one of the first two (channel one or two) is wired BACKWARDS so although you may hear sound, the sub channel will basically have no output. To test for this, disconnect one of the RCAs- if your bass all of a sudden goes crazy, then you have found your problem. Cut one of the input RCAs, reverse the wiring and plug it back in, ... show more
