DO NOT BUY PYLE
(1 out of 5) by Christian Thames on Aug 14, 2008Pyle creates crappy car audio gear. They rate their amps by MAX output (must be hit by lightning to reach this wattage).
It has 2 10A fuses. That means it will produce MAYBE 200 watts (any more will blow the fuses). So to rate it a 1400 watt amp is flat out lying.
If you want a cheap amp that actually does rated power, try Phoenix Gold, or Hifonics. They have amps in the same price range that actually put out better power, won't overheat or blow up, and is a far better value.

Awesome Budget Amp!
(5 out of 5) by Kevin Nicholls on Nov 13, 2007 (Milford, MI)When my trusty Pioneer amp died on me after nearly 10 years, I was pretty torn. I didn't need bass that hit hard enough to bounce things off of my car, but I also didn't want to go back to stock.
Luckily, I found this on Amazon before wasting my money on some flea market junk.
The amp itself is pretty basic. You have typical crossover options and gain -- nothing special there. I noticed this uses two 10A fuses instead of one 20A fuse. (Then again, the amp I'm replacing is really old, so maybe this isn't as uncommon as I thought)
So, altogether pretty ho-hum, until I got it hooked up. I'm driving two Polk db12's in a bandpass box, and they sound like new speakers with this amp. The range seems to be great, if a little "hollow" compared to the Pioneer. But that aside, it's LOUD and I haven't encountered any overheating problems.
Obviously, this isn't something you'll want to use as a foundation for a competition-grade system, but it's more than enough for a casual enthusiast. (And total overkill for people who don't have to good sense to use foam or Dynamat under their license plates... you know who you are...)

Highly Recommended
(5 out of 5) by Rocky on Jan 9, 2007My 1400 - Watt amplifier was a great buy. Its size is very convenient and its performance is so far, excellent. I would recommend this product to any one who is looking for an affordable priced amplifier which offers an excellent rich sound to your car stereo when you are rolling around.

Works Great for my uses
(5 out of 5) by Frank D. Harrison on Jun 28, 2008I got this amp to hook up to complete my system, and it works great. I don't usually bump it so loud that my ears pop, but it'll do it. I haven't had overheating problems, but like I said, I don't have it really loud for a substantial amount of time. Bottom line, I'm very pleased. Great price for the product!
