For $500 , I'll bet you get no takers !!

Being an A/D design, I wouldn't want to enclose that in a tight space !

It does have a fan for cooling. I'm not that familiar with amp classes though. Does a=analog and d=digital? The RF Power series are supposed to have some new technologies to reduce power consumption and heat generation. It looks like with its compact design it might be suited for motorcycle installation. A bit pricey for sure. Not sure how RF's new CLEAN technology compares with its Boosted Rail technology that is in its Punch series.

I've been running it for a good solid month now and no complaints so far. Pricey, yes, but I don't skimp on my audio. It has bitten me in the past and I end up spending more in the long run to fix the cheap ****. I've got it on my 14 SGS and its running HAT 6.5's in the fairing and HAT 5x7 in the bags. I have numerous compliments on the sound and clarity at high volume. The only thing that I had to do was rig up something over the top of it to protect it from water leaking through the vent in the newer fairings. It runs cool and does have fans to help also. Hope this helps, if you have any questions about it feel free to let me know.
