Well from my experance with them they are good for daily. The issue I had with them all is sometimes the bass responce was not what I wanted on different types of music. It always hit good and hard on the lows, but then change up to some slipknot and ya... not so good.. I found better reponce from all kinds of other amps. But once I install the Maxxsonnics MX-3 these amps lit right up. the responce was much much better. even on the lows it made such a cleaner signal into amp and when palying the knot it was night and day difference. In the begining I had changed box tuning to compensate, but now there is no need. So I say a crossover before amp is a definate must for daily.
This will help tons with early clipping of the amp as well. Just keep the input voltage down ot 4v or less. anything higher and the clip lights sooner with less input. the sd amps dont like high input voltage on rca.
Another thing to make sure is not to run below 1 ohm on music. the amps will protect if run lower or even burn. and if using 16 volt daily he tells me at least 1.5 starting. It has burnt 2x with running music starting at one and battery voltage droping to 17. All is good now. jsut took some time to get the issues worked out, and the alsniffer was good about it.He answered questions pretty fast.

So, amp will work for daily, definitely need to run it with an external crossover. Thats easy enough to accommodate. Good power supply, and a good external crossover. So far seems like it should be alright for my application.
