It probably OK... profile tends to overrate a little I think... so 500rms might be dynamic output....

Figure after shipping and brokerage it might cost more like $200, but that still aint too bad....

oh actually Haunz, i always BEG then to go through USPS, a thing i learned the hard way when i ordered an amp from the states a while back and UPS nailed me with $105 bucks on brokerage and taxes, AND IT WAS SECOND HAND OFF EBAY!! OUCH!
anyway, this is a good tip for buying in the states. if they dont ship USPS, try another dealer. its not worth it to go through UPS. if it goes through USPS then it just comes to your door like a letter. also it doesnt hurt for them to mark it as a gift , like claim 0$ . i tell them to do that all the time. so without USPS i can gt that amp for $160.00 cdn

^^^yes, I've learned that the hard way too. use usps, most items ship for under 20.00 us, most or all car audio gear is exempt from duty, you just have to pay pst and gst plus a 5.00 brokerage fee to canada post. This is the way to ship!

^ the pst and the gst is the 'value added tax' or duty... which you usually have to pay no matter what...

the diff is USPS charges less for shipping and 5.00 brokerage fee instead of $45 or whatever ups charges....

to bad usps can take 2 damn monthes sometimes
