> 24 hourI installed this in my c300 2009 Benz. I tapped off the rear sub w/ a line converter into this amp. During their CLEAN install the amp didnt clip on the input full volume.. nore did it clip on the output with the gain all the way up. wild. it kicks hard. I power a 12 P3 punch with it, custom box, absolutely amazing.

> 24 hourAlways been a Punch fan!! I have the Rockford P500X1bd pushing a 10in 2ohm Kicker CVT. The sub is in a MTX Bass Slammer enclosure for a 2005 Chevy Tahoe. The sound is clean and there is plenty of power. The birthsheet that came with my amp says 770 watts @ 1ohm. Very easy to setup and get the proper gain for your particular system. Would definitely buy again and recommend.

> 24 hourSorry the review took so long, absolutely love this amp, pushing two Memphis slim 10 dual 4 ohm speakers and it thumps pretty hard! Clean and crisp and clips pretty well.

> 24 hourHad a Boss riot 1100 in my crew cab gmc driving a single 12 shallow that I pulled from my old truck to get a little more thump. When I had the riot installed I was happy and thought it didnt sound bad, it went into protection mode a lot if I bumped it too hard. And one day I burned my hand on it so I stated searching for a 1 ohm amp asap. Well I installed this one and the paper said it passed with like 740-ish watts. Well I installed this with a good 4 guage wiring kit and all I can say is WOW! completely blows the riot away in every category! Which you would expect but dang, it just sounds so clean and crisp. I was thinking about buying 2 12s before but now it hits really good and Im completely happy! It hits clean all the way through and tuning it was very easy with the given instructions. It also looks clean with the hidden wire boxed area. Very happy, even though its more than what I wanted to pay since Im about to head to college but it is well worth it knowing this one will not catch my truck on fire!

> 24 hourNice amp, pushing a single 12 P3 at 1 ohm. Doesnt sound as good as my Skar Audio RP800.1 on the same sub but that one over heat after 1 hour of continuous use, this one doesnt break a sweat. It also pumps out much more power than its rated

Power & Bass On Demand!
P500X1BD
The Punch P500X1bd is a mono amplifier capable of producing 500 Watts into a 1-Ohm load.
Due to its dedicated low frequency response, this amplifier is optimized for mid-bass speakers or subwoofers only.
With its super efficient Class-BD circuit topology, the P500X1bd will drop some serious BASS! The stealth top mounted control panel not only provides a sleek finished look to the amp, but it also protects the vital controls.
Our custom heat sink design uses high aluminum mass where it is needed most to maximize heat transfer from the output MOSFETS to the surrounding air, keeping the circuitry cool even under high power and output demand.
