Default amp question

Has anyone tried this amp, or know anything about it. Is it junk?

I found this on ecoustics.com
MAN THROW THAT THING AWAY, I'M A MITZU VICTIM JAJAJA, THOSE ARE BAD, I HAD THE MITZU 1800W 4CHANNEL AMP AND DIDN'T PUSHED 2 TWEETERS IN MY SYSTEM, I HAD TO GIVE IT AWAY. YOU SPENT 20$, USE THE AMP ON TWEETER OR IN A HOUSE SYSTEM TO POWER UP SOME PC SPEAKERS CUZ THEY JUST DON'T POWER UP!

The 500 watt figure they are giving you is a MAX power rating. That only means that thing could hit 500 watts for a brief period of time if pushed.

Judging by the model number I'd bet it's only a 37.5w x 2 channel RMS amp.

Usually if they are giving away free cheap stuff along with the purchase, the product is cheap as well. I saw another one like this where they added some free "500 watt" tweeters along with the gift package...

Save your $30 and use it on a better amp

500 watts........reminds me of the 1000 watt graphic equalizers of the late '70s...

This is the amp I use...

Over the Winter I am planning a audio upgrade on my SG. I am planning on getting the Hawg Wired amp and speakers. Unless I just go with the HW amp and a nice set of some other high quality brand of speakers. I would never recommend to anyone here to go the El Cheapo route on their bikes. Especially for something as much as a "creature comfort" as the audio system. We pay a good buck for these things....I just cant see pinching the pennies now, when your in the process of making the bike MORE to your personal liking.

The audio mods have to go on my list for this winter......where they place on the list,....at the top or someplace down a bit, I still have to figure out
