Crunch Power Zone Amps?

Are these amps any good? I found the P4175 model (175Wx4) for $155. Seems a little too good to be true, but I read a couple reviews and they seem to be a decent amp, especially for the money. Any opinions?

They are very overrated and have a very low noise floor..(s/n ratio) The amps are rated at 175 watts peak x 4 at 2 ohm but only put out about 40 WRMS a at 4ohm...at that price I'd get a kenwood or BLaupunkt MPA series amp..

Crunch is a very, very, very, very low class amplifier. This sub is usually used by entry level people who aren't really schooled in the art of telling what amps rating are BS.

Like a JVC 500x1 amp being the same size and fuse rating as my MTX 50x2 amplifier.

Best to stay away from that brand.
A good tool to use is like this, if the amp is good or you are personally looking for high quality, you are going to pay around $1 per 1 watt, sometimes even more.
