No. And it's only 350w RMS. What king of amp are you looking for?

Legacy is actually pretty honest on power ratings in their manuals, but almost EVERY budget brand has ridiculous sales ratings.
http://legacycaraudio.com/manuals/LegacySharpSteelAMP.pdf
It's on page 7/9 in the pdf manual.
It is rated at 335 into 2 ohms, and has a 40A fuse.

If any car audio product doesn't CLEARLY state power as RMS either walk away, or dig deeper. Otherwise you'll never know what you're getting, and it probably won't be good.

FYI - If you're bottom dollar shopping I just came across a Valor mono amp (VPA801) at newegg for $99 shipped. Valor isn't a very well established name, and I would guess it's not the greatest quality, but it sells at other sites for over $200. It has 3x25A fuses so it should put out 700w or so. Might be worth looking into.

Peak power tells you nothing about an amp. RMS wattage is what you need to go by. Even then, alot of the lower end amps are overrated.

how much power are you looking for? The AQ 1200D looks like a solid amp IMO.
