The very budget friendly Skar Audio RP2000.1D promises 2000 watts of clean power for $229 (or less refurbished, mine was $179 shipped direct from Skar Audio). You've seen me test amps before that turned out not quite meeting expectations. Is this amp different? Forget my expectations of the "minor cosmetic flaws" or the fact it was a miracle this amp survived the horrible packing job....we just care about results, right?
Only one way to find out...let's see more about the amp and make sure you watch all the way to the end....I always give you a little extra!

    Tony Melo are you sure it’s the amps fault? Do you have a prefab box or a box custom built to your subwoofer(s) and is the box built correct for your speaker(s)? Did you tune the amp correctly and are you getting sufficient power to the amp? And it is only a 1200 so it’s not going to have that crazy power and idk what your sub(s) are wired at (1, 2, 4ohm).

I know you don't do repair, but people might be interested in just knowing whether their amp meet/exceeds specs. I think it could be worth $30-$50 to find out that info, if its worth your time to do it.

I know the SK line is legit...but good to see the RP line is good too. hard to beat for that price.

    I bought one of these to power two 15" Skar evl subs mounted in a ported enclosure that fits perfectly in the trunk of my Grand Marquis. I removed the rear seat to give the amp plenty of breathing room and also mounted a fan for it. It's powered by a 250 amp altercator, four batteries, heavy duty pure copper power cables and speaker wires. I barely have to turn it up to get the bass I want. I keep the gain about 1/3 and the subwoofer output from the head unit is at 1 out of 8. I'm afraid to turn it up too far because I don't want to blow my subs. I've already smelled them cooking once when I played "Drop Zone" by DJ Billy E
