Memphis is a very nice amp. Great sound and they are under-rated.

Try talking to Jim at WOW electronics. They sell Memphis and they are very knowledgeable.

i was using a memphis 16-MC1500D for a short while..it was awful. Cut out all the time, constantly over heated and clipped my subs. but it also might have been broken, so I don't know if this is a good reflection of their products. just my own experience. that being said, they are sexy amps lol

Currently using a Memphis 4K.

The new bass **** is great, if the amp goes into protect the light on the **** turns red, then just press the **** in, let go and it fires back up. I've run it as low as 10 volts and it still keeps running just fine.

all in all A+
