no where near 5000 watts .. maybee 2000 with the gain and bass boost turned all the way up so it matches the rest of soundstorms products
although most "professional" audio enthusiasts hate on SS, im just a kid whos was looking for a sweet budget friendly high output amp for my new typeX 10" this amp looks great, its solid, has all the features, and i garuntee with the 2G wire im running it comes pretty dang close to 5000w. and my meter had it at 1808w rms at 4ohms which is exactly what it says it should do. this thing drives my type X like no other and the bass is so clean. i would buy another one if i ever needed to for another system. great amp. and for $209 you cant go wrong.
I've been in the audio game for a good while now. i have 2 of these amp on my 2 15" soundstream XXX. and it moves them very nicely! it's not quite enough to really get the soundstreams hitting their max, but it is enough to get people to bail out of my car. you'll be hard pressed to find more bang for your buck! check out my youtube channel under "LordPS3" and see these babies in action!
