Yeah, it looks good...but I have to keep up my reputation for the ghetto installs.
If you look at the side view, there is saw dust behind each screw because I was trying to get the amps lined up, and ended up drilling a bunch of holes. I also had to use longer screw because I could not get the nice screws that came with the amp to hold because I had drilled into the wood too much. The is also a small hole just about the top left corner of the amp from where my cap wiring used to be...and the last ghetto thing is that the RCAs are crammed right between the power wires...good thing that amp isn't for the highs

Rep Power: 346 I don't know if yall would want a review of he amp in another thread, but so far so good. The DBO feature is an interesting take on a subsonic filter. The thing that sucks is that the DBO is not defeatable...so this amp seems to be more applicable to ported applications at 25 hrtz and up.
The birthsheet says 1210 @ 4ohms and 1170 @ 1 ohm.
The really usually thing is that I no longer have cancellation at 90 hrtz, BUT my subs do not play flat between 35-65 hrtz like before (I can't really explain because this should be box dependent, and I haven't even changed the box. Although I may have slightly moved my box when I removed it. Maybe it adjusted the frequency response). My subs are ported to 30 hrtz, but now it peaks at about 50 hrtz and goes down by about 3 dbs between 35-40 hrtz. The good thing is I can prolly use the DBO to flatten out the response.

Each one actually has two holes for neon tubes...but I don't know if I want to do that right now.
