    If you are watching this JP, or BigD if you can pass this along, it would great if they offered end covers for the amps to hide the wires and link multiple amps to make it look like a single large amp. I remember a few companies did this back in the 90 and 2000's and I thought it was neat, but they were higher priced amps I couldn't afford back then.

    Skar is cool looking and a great budget build.
    The big problem with Skar it’s virtually every amp and subwoofer at some point somewhere has some reliability issues. There are more budget builds nowadays and then the 90s when I was growing up but you still get what you pay for. Down for sound make some solid products very good good price point. Personally I run Harman audio Infiniti components and subwoofers. I like to use alpine amps but on my subs I am running a Kicker 1200.1. If I had to rebuild a system from scratch I honestly think the best middle line quality you can get a CT sounds for your price point. No one complains about their products and you can get a very good set up for a small amount of money. Plus they just came up with a three speaker component system which is what I prefer to run. But I am more into SQ build an SPL builds

    If they would offer them with an option to choose the color of the amp it would be a better deal, or even just offer them all with an option for black that would be better. If you buy a two channel and a 4 channel for instance they are physically similar but the color difference is like a bag of skittles.

If I want my amps to match for display. I will do custom colors on them. Too easy to shoot them with single stage urethane since I can paint cars, boats, etc. I wonder if there's a market for that.

      You pay for what you get. The RP2ooo.1 is a good amp if you really have no way to get the extra 150$ together. For the 150$ extra you get a 2700.1 monoblock that has no problem playing @12.5 volts @1ohm. I owned every RP series amps that Skar made. Just spend the extra money on the D4S your paying for the extra wattage and the bass knob that has features rather than just a basic metal potentiometer .

I will never buy a cheap amp. been there, done that, many years ago. I guess wisdom comes with age and experience, being a cheapskate will have you buying another amp sooner than those of us who know better. point is we will save more $$$$$ in the long run by either not needing to get our amps repaired or forced to buy a new one. use your brains for Gods sake

    He's working hard to build something doing what he enjoys. I think that's cool and admirable... but given that I'm sitting here watching this looking for something to dislike.... I can't do it.
    These amps have a great look and a unique color which I think is cool. The attention to detail is really good and it does more than rated. There is just nothing to run down. Overall I'm impressed with this and it seems like a great product.
