I have yet to push this amp hard enough to get it more than warm to the touch. I assumed this was another case of false advertising until I saw the video on Williston Audio (412w @ 4 ohm, 666w @ 2 ohm, 997w @1 ohm, 1997w dynamic @ .5 ohm).I found a great deal on some Black Diamond 12″ subs so I ordered a pair and Q-Bomb box. Sounded great running them at 1 ohm (~500 watts each) but like any bass-head, I wanted more. So I ordered another ZE 1000.1 so I could push 650 watts to each. Installed a 2nd AGM battery, isolator, switched form 4 awg to 0 awg, had it all set to go, and the 2nd Amp wouldn’t put out any sound. The power light was on, everything hooked up correctly. To be certain, I transferred all connections and fuses from the working ZE 1000.1 to the new one, and nothing. Asked for an exchange and a new amp arrived 2 days later. That one worked just fine and I think I’m finally happy with the funk coming out of my trunk. Of course, now I wish I could strap the amps and push the full 1000w RMS each speaker can handle. BUT, all I have to do to drown out the voices in my head telling me to go bigger is turn the volume up about 3/4’s of the way until my eyeballs vibrate and I no longer feel the urge. Great amp, great customer service, still haven’t managed to get them anywhere near “hot”. I’m so thoroughly impressed by the quality of these amps that I’m not even taking away a star for receiving a dead unit. I don’t think there’s a better amp under $100. Not even close.*Follow up: 6 months in and the 2nd amp I purchased is shorting out and I don’t know why. I transferred both amps over to my 2nd vehicle, and this one was pushing a Skar 12″ @ 2 ohm just fine, until it wasn’t. It blew all the fuses one day when I started the car and it keeps blowing fuses. Again, transferred all wiring from the working amp, fuses blew again. I popped the cover off, no obvious capacitor damage or anything broken. No magic smoke smell. I’m not sure what is causing the short. So, roll the dice if you’re feeling lucky. Your amp may be running great almost 2 years later, or it might die in 6 months.
