I have had many systems over the last twenty years. Sure my hearing maybe going, but that just means I need louder and louder systems.
This is a good amp. I don't buy electronics based on brand name anymore. All electronics are made in Asia anyway. I bought this amp based on the spec's. It is pushing two, 4 ohm, 12 inchers, and a 5 ohm, 10 inch, at 1.9 ohms total. I hooked my meter up to double check the ohms.
My car lights dim at night. The sound is tight, not distorted, and prefect for rock to rap. I would snatch this amp up if I needed to build another system.
The design is clean and stealthy, I like it simple, because I don't show my systems off. I like to listen to them not look at them so this is perfect for me. The product picture doesn't give the actual amp the justice it deserves.
I recommend it. Have fun blasting out your ears, just make sure your car doesn't fall apart. I would recommend sealing up your car so it doesn't rattle, but it's your call. I am off the upset the neighborhood with my music. Later system heads.

I have had many upgrades on my car system in the past ten years, and still more to come. I just replaced Audiobahn AW12001P 1200 watts monoblock with this Boss Phantom 5000 and boy what a difference. I really wanted to keep my system pounding hard and since I have 2 12's Audiobahn 1000 watts RMS each I wanted to keep everything the same brand but it was time for change, I've had Boss amplifiers before so I decide to give this new model a try and it's worth every single penny. Audiobahn was really expensive when they came out about a dollar a watt for their competition equipment in general, a lot of companies have step up to the plate on quality on their equipment and made tremendous improvements competing against the top dogs(Hifonics, Rockford Fosgate, Crunch, Boston Acoustik) you get the picture also prices for competition equipment has come down and now is easier to the average customer to obtain loud music without hurting your pocket.
I do recommend this amplifier you won't be disappointed. I also recommend if you are thinking about buying this amplifier to upgrade your electrical system although this is a monoblock and is able to work @ 1 OHM you need to have the right amount of consistent amps charging your system along with keeping a consistent voltage. I recommend you upgrade you alternator to a high output the highest you can find for your car, also optima battery yellow top designed for loud music and extra accessories on your vehicle and use 0 gauge wire for positives and grounds as it can allow up to 350 amp of current flow.

I have to admit that the price of this amp had me thinking only one thing before I decided to take a gamble and purchase it anyway, to good to be true. Fortunately for me and my wallet, I was wrong. When I received this amp from Amazon my initial suspicions of "too good to be true" became evident right away. This amp requires you to remove a metal bar off each end of the amp with a supplied allen wrench in order to wire it. This is not unusual, I've had quite a few other amps in my history that have required such things. The main issue with this is that the nuts that I needed to loosen with the allen wrench seemed to be stripped. I managed to get 1 of the 4 nuts loosened with the wrench and out of frustration I took my drill to the other 3. So basically, I will not be putting the bars back on the amp.
So I wired up my amp and turned on my system and much to my surprise a giant fireball did not emanate from the amp. (I can be a bit of a pessimist from time to time). In fact I was pleasantly surprised at how much power this amp does have. By the way, this amp will not accept 0 gauge wire. I believe it will only take 4 gauge. I have this amp pushing 2 15" Kicker L5's. My subs are rated 750 RMS/1500 max EACH. It is a 4ohm DVC load wired parallel to 1ohm. And I have yet to feel the need to turn the input or the bass boost on this amp up all the way. My input is about 3/4 of the way up, and my bass boost may be slightly less turned up and it provided plenty of bass. I have all my stock speakers replaced with custom speakers (all amplified) and again, this amp does a great job with supplying the needed bass to accommodate.
So to summarize all of my gibberish, I would certainly recommend purchasing this amp. Esp for novice or amateur audio system fans like myself who have some nice quality 12's or 15's they need to push. I'm not a audio expert and I'm aware that some other reviewers have claimed that this amp is not capable of producing what is says it can produce. I don't know if that is true or not. All I will say is don't underestimate it's power. If it claims that it can put out more rms than your sub woofers can handle than assume it's true, and start out with your amp inputs turned down and adjust accordingly.
When you consider the prices of other similar wattage amplifiers (if you can find any) of what is to be considered high end or more popular name brands like Rockford Fosgate or Kicker, this amp is a steal. If I were picky I might knock this amp down a star or even half a star for the issues with the allen wrench and the fact that it will not accept 0 gauge wire but I'm not. All I really care about is if it sounds good. And if it thuds. And it certainly thuds..
