Review: Consistent power, small footprint - Big bass small package, works great paired with audison 10" shallow sub👍
Review: I love the amp - You will be so pleased with this unit. Punches quite a bit above its rating. Even after a couple hours of use it’s not even warm to the touch. Most importantly, it sounds spectacular. Stop thinking about which amp to buy; you found it. Update: July 2026. Is this thing getting even better with age? My brother's amp is kind of underwhelming. Knowing this thing is a beast but won't put any strain on his OEM electrical system, I was going to give him this unit and replace it with an upgraded amp for myself. Well interestingly, after this things sound performance whipped the floor with two supposedly "more powerful and very highly rated" amps I tried to replace it with, I'd either have to conclude that this particular unit is some sort of a unicorn or the CT-400D.1 is one of best small momo amps available at ANY price. Connected to Kicker CompVR 12 dual voice coil 2ohm wired down ro 1 ohm. The rest of the system: Hertz AB 4 channel powering Focal speakers in the doors. The sound stage in my car compares to the experience of listening on audiophile headphones. It's not just how loud, the quality of the sound is on another level. That's how tight this little monster is performing!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Apparently this amp doesn't work in the winter time or an early spring or late fall that's kind of weird?**
A: My son runs this amp all year long and has never had a problem. He is only running 2-10's, so maybe that's why. Great amp so far

**Q: Would this work for a 15 inch kicker subwoofer?**
A: That would depend on the specs of the sub( check rms wattage with oh resistance ratings). As long as it falls less than or equal too the ratings of the amp( check the manual online for it's ratings). You could use a high wattage sub 
with it but it won't have as much output vs a wattage matched one.

**Q: Could this amp work for the ct sound strato 8**
A: It will work as long as you don’t try to overpower it. Typically you’ll want to go with a higher rated amp than needed for subwoofer RMS

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazed.
*by C***E on 5 June 2023*

This little Amp is no slouch, can't belive its 400 watts! Been doing car audio for quite some time...and this amp for the price is amazing. The build quality is definitely on point, its definitely got some weight to it. very small and compact can go just about anywhere. It's definitely a little power hungry...I almost regret not installing 1/0 gauge power cable and just using reducer at the amp but it's only 400 watts. Got this running 2 CT tropo 6.5s at 1 ohm and the overall setup DOES NOT Disappoint! My only Gripe (or Gripes) would be the bass knob is trash. Very cheap lightweight plastic, I feel like if you just look at it wrong it will break. I didn't even mount the knob because I'm afraid a Tab would bust off while screwing it down. It also has a power LED on the knob which is a blinding blue...I can't even look at it straight on with out it leaving a weird blue fuzz in my eyes for an hour. Other than that, awesome amp, awesome price...I look forward to getting another and strapping them to 4 6.5s 👍
