Not Really 2000

They're not the greatest amps in the world. A 2000 watt 1 might hit 2000 watts if u were running it on 8 batteries in an electrical storm and an electrode sticking out of the top like back to the future.

I paid 129 for my Kicker 120.2 it's rated at 60x2 rms Bridged down it actually pushes 203x1 @2 ohms and it's louder than my friends legacy "2000" watt amp.

In other words you get what you pay for a 2000 watt amp for 150 bucks sounds too good to be true because it probably is.

just my .02

I assume their amps would be good, I have a legacy 1 farad cap, and expirence NO dimming, compared to my friends Rockford Fosgate Cap cause his headlights still dim, we are running about the same setup, 1 12" sub.

But yes, airbob has a point about the amps not being all they are cracked up to be, I just got a soundstorm 760w amp, and it probably will never hit that.
