(5 out of 5) by A. Light on Oct 3, 2006I have a PSB Subsonc II sub in which the amplifier was going out. They wanted over $300 for the 90 watt replacement amp. This unit is slightly larger than the factory hole when installed rotated 90 degrees so I had to do a little bit of routing with a dremel tool and redrilled the mounting holes. I also had to route for the depth of 2 cards on the board but no big deal. The whole job took about 2 hours. The PSB never had this much power. It is an excellent sub amplifier. This is the one to buy. Highly recommended!
excellent amp!
(5 out of 5) by E in Texas on Sep 26, 2009 (McKinney, TX)I bought an Athena brand home theater subwoofer a few years back and it sounded great, BUT that particular subwoofer had been manufactured with an amplifier that had some issues with dying early. Of course mine bit the dust.
I replaced it with this amp and couldn't be happier. This amp sounds good and clean at least for my application. I like the standby option so I don't have to mess with it at all. It made my subwoofer sing again!

(5 out of 5) by dr. cliff on Jun 19, 2009 (New Olreans, LA United States)Don't let people fool you into thinking you need a thousand watts of amp pushing 4 giant subs for your home theater.
My living room is 12x18 feet. The sub is a single Polk CSW100, built into the wall. This little BASH amp is built into the wall of the A/V closet, out of the way and very neat looking. These amps produce much less heat than traditional designs so you can just flush-mount one right in your wall! After all, they're designed to mount in an enclosure and sink their heat to the outside (the front of the amp).
Anyway, my setup sounds fantastic. There is a nice 'feel' watching TV and most movies, and if I toss in an action movie or a Metallica CD, I can rattle the whole house with clear, thunderous bass. Honestly, the bass becomes overwhelming and actually annoying long before I can hear any distortion.
I give this amp a hearty endorsement for the performance, price, and clean installation.

great amp
(5 out of 5) by E. Helmkamp on Feb 25, 2009 (chicago , IL U.S.A)I bought this because my JBL pb12 subwoofer died. After some research on the web i found that the "d" class amp in the pb12 was poorly designed and prone to failure. I put this bash plate amp in(after some modifications)and hooked it back to my a/v receiver. I listened to music and watched movies for a day to see what it could handle. The bass sounds great and shook the house. On top of that the amp didn't even feel warm!! I'm so glad i bought this plate amp
Good Amp
(4 out of 5) by Donovan T. Taylor on Jul 14, 2008 (Baltimore)I bought one of these about 1.5 years ago and loved it. I recently bought one to power my Dayton audio MKIII sub. The amp has plenty of power, enough head room to be dynamic and donsnt hint at being over driven. BTW i am running this thing at 1/2 power, and that's sufficient for my install.
Just as 1.5 years ago I still love this amp. The only reason I am giving it a 4 out of 5 star rating is because the back portion of the amp is not encased in plastic. The components in the back, ( the board, transistors etc) are left open and exposed.
