Lanzar Vibe 430 Car Amp

first off, i realize i got raped like a schoolgirl on this amp by the ghetto hole-in-the-wall stereo shop i purchased it from. thats what i get for not doing my homework before i buy. though i dont use it heavily, it runs good. i bought this amp to drive my 12" subs. it doesnt push the rated 1,000 watts, although it drives my subs with clean distortion-free power, like most amps of this price range it delivers less power than advertised. the wire terminals are also awkwardly placed, the heat sink overhang which hides them makes it very difficult to work with. also the size of this amplifier is enormous which makes placement and concealing very difficult.
