In my opinion, .

Concept isn't even in the low-midrange level of product perfromance/reliability...it's comparable to the likes of Lanzar, Volfenhag, Jensen, etc... I'd be interested in how much that amp puts out at 12V.

How much did you pay for it? And why didn't you post here and ask for recommendations before you made the purchase?

150 where?

As an example, a HiFonics BX1205 is a budget mono amp and would've been a lot better of a choice for your L7 (btw, you got it fixed?). Can be had for about $170 if you look in the right places...
