Sound Storm Laboratories EV2500M Monoblock Car Audio Amplifier - 2500 High Output, High/Low Level Inputs, Hook Up to Subwoofer for Bass

First and Foremost, I'd like to say that I have always bought high end audio equipment. The amp I had in my vehicle before this one was a $500 Amp, and it was 1800W. Unfortunately, someone decided to steal just my amp and not my woofers, so I wasn't completely crap out of luck. I decided to turn to Amazon for a car amp, something I had never considered doing before, even though I use this site for practically everything. I had thought to myself "hmm, they usually have cheap as hell prices on items that I may not have heard the brand, but the quality is there, and the other user reviews definitely help." I'm sure there is an amount of bad stuff on here, but when you read reviews, much like this one, you learn a lot about how the products operate, because they are written mostly by people like you and me. The other reviews on here sum it up, it runs cool! It pounds. I have it hooked up to 2 Alpine Type R 12" DVC Woofers. The power is definitely there, and the cutout safety works every time. I listen to a lot of dubstep and even with this much power between the amp and the subs it still kicks off the safety. You have to turn your deck off and on to get it to kick in again. The nifty little thing (although I could see it as being a downside to some people) is that it comes with a control knob you can mount on your dash board that allows you to turn your subs up or down. It never turns them down all the way, but if you're getting cutout at some songs you can turn them down to avoid the issue and then turn it back up when it needs that extra kick. I've haven't blown a fuse as of yet and I've owned this thing for over three months at this point. All in all, a lot of power for a sliver of the price! Excellent buy.

I've had an ssl ev4000 before and it was a great amp. It was pushing 2 l7 12 and it was banging. I mean I could be heard from at least two blocks away. Now I have decided to downgrade to this 2500 and it works great. It will get hot but it all depends on how long you run it and how big your trunk is. But as for me I'm in a 06 Malibu ltz so it's pretty damn loud.

we just got this amp in today we ordered it 2 days ago on standard 3-5 day shipping. we are using it to power our 3 boss auido phantom 2100 watt 10s. sounds great and hits even harder than our last amp, which was our hope. sounds great and really hits its worth the price. i even like it more than their 1600 watt and way more than there 3000 which i did not like at all. the 2500 is worth it and probably the best out of their evolution series

This amp shipped and arrived quickly. On arrival my biggest surprise was the shear size of this thing! It barely fit on top of my 10" ported box. But it has to be that big because this amp is not fan cooled, but instead they used the mass amount of material as a giant heat sink. This means that yes, the amp will get hot, but that is just its way of expelling the heat. The amp will actually go into prptection mode when the surface reaches about 170°F. I have this amp hooke up to a 2000 watt Quantum Audio subwoofer and it powers it just fine. The only flaw with this amp is that the positive and ground hook up spots have plastic sidewalls to keep them from touching, but this makes it so that you must bend the connectoron your wire if you have the hefty brass ones that usually come with any 4 gauge or lower wiring kit. Other then that this is a great amp for the price and ssl has out done themselves. P.S. Do not try to cook an egg on this amp... I did and it didn't just not work, thats how i found out the protection mode temp (which by the way I had the thing hooked up to a car charger with input level maxed and bass boost maxed for about an hour before it finally went into protection mode), but also turns out the evolution print under the SSL logo doesn't like to stay on haha.

Recieved this amp today. Let me just say that my expectaitons were not met. I am pushing two diamond d3 10's rated at 400 rms a piece wired to 2 ohms. The amp cant take it. I can barely turn the input up to 1/8 before it will go into protect. I'll have to run one until i can do better.

IF U NEED THIS MUCH POWER DO NOT GO WITH THIS AMP!!!! IT DOES NOT RUN 2500 WATTS!!! I HOOKED IT UP TO A SOUNDSTREAM SPLX AND IT BURNED OUT. THE THERMAL OVERLOAD CONTINUES TO TRIP

Great quality!! Sounds great in my truck!! I used this for my two 12" alpine subs that I built a custom box for that replaces the back bench seat in my 99 Dodge Ram 1500!

I dont know what the other dude is talking about but this amp is hitting its 1750 rms @ 2ohms , no amp hits it advertised peak wattage(unless you plan on just blowing it up) i got two of these hooked up to 4 power acoustik p3 10w, i say i'm pushing about 3,200 rms all day...... i do recommend a capacitor ;) good luck
