The F7002 will do a real 900 rms at 2ohm mono all day long, yes it is a knock off brand but the F model line from this company is pretty dang reliable, cheap, and loud too.

A knock off company will rarely produce a quality amp that will "play all day long", especially @ 2ohms. If by some miracle, it did, it will probably contain very high distortion/clipping.

Could you fry eggs on the heatsink as well?

"cheap, and loud too"

- I found one online for like 150 bucks, a 1400 watt max amp for $150? WAYYYYYY to good to be true.

- You can make anything loud. You could probably break the world spl record with all sony if you really wanted to. You still wouldn't have proved anything after it was done though.

ok, that last remark Joe was just stupid so I wont bother replying to it

As far as the 150 for 1400 watts, yes, it is true.

And for the record this information isnt second hand, it is from hands on experience. There is a local flea market in town here that sells this crap and many customers have brought them to me to install. Much to my surprise the things do very well. And as far as the remark "all day long", well a few of these customers do nothing all day but drive around with thier stereo turned wide open, and only once or twice have i heard of them going into temporary thermal protect on really hot days last summer.
I dont sell this brand, but from what i've seen first hand they are reliable. The output is comparable to many high quality amps rated around 1000 watts. Like I said, I dont sell this "off brand thats scamming from another companies name" but I will always tell it like I see it. For the money you CAN NOT go wrong. I know!, I hate saying it, but its true.
Many of the "off brand" companies these days are making amps that fair the weather quite well, as amplifier technology becomes more readily available so does thier ability to build good amps, however build quality and components may suffer but all in all some of these guys are offering really good amps at unbelievable prices.

Zac Davis, the statement "if someone broke the world record with sony it still wouldnt have proved anything" was a joke. You know Sony will NEVER make anything that will break any audio records.

Sean, the 3502 is the second smallest amp in that line, it's rated at 350 watts mono. It isn't a very large amp, and yes that particular model will not run 2 ohm mono, it will shut off.
I know you are like me, you need to see and hear something in person to believe it, anything else is just talk. So with that in mind, remember i've ran about 6 or so of these amps and if i'm impressed with them i'm sure would've been too :-) , especially at such a cheap price. l8a bro

Unlike Sony, Jensen amps were more durable. I tried all kinds of experiments and it kept on ticking.
