Review: Excellent product - small, but powerful - Big power in a very small package. The 1600W (Candy-X4B) is literally smaller than a box of triscuits, yet packs 125W RMS @ 4 ohms, which is plenty of juice for your average audio enthusiast. I haven’t fully torture tested the amp yet, but thus far it’s barely even gotten warm even at high volumes, pushing a 150W + 75W (RMS) component set. The volume exceeds what my ears can tolerate before it exceeds the limitations of the speakers and amp. It’s also very good looking, although I have mine hidden away. It fits comfortably within a storage compartment that is approximately 10x4.5x6 inches. This could be easily hidden inside of a dash, or even perhaps inside of a door panel. Review: Very happy with this amp - Running a 1976 8-track head unit through a 7 band eq/processor and a this amp. Also 2 8” subs in the lower doors on a separate 2-channel 150/channel amp. Great sound and loud. Very clean sound even out of 50 year old head unit with only speaker wire outputs!! ## Features - DS18 CANDY-X4B 1600 watts Max digital 4 channel class D amplifier - RMS output power 14.4V @ 4-ohms: 4 x 80 watts. @ 2-ohms: 4 x 120 watts. @ 4-ohms bridged: 2 x 240 watts.
