Use your 2ch amp. 94

 

In a friend's F-150, he replaced a CRUNCH with some sort of SoundStorm, about those specs. I am pretty sure the amp is no longer functional. After a month or so the subs started popping (JL 10's) and being overall odd. We re-wired everything and such, no avail. Replaced amplifier and went away.

It was a good amp for the first month, though. Hit pretty cleanly for being a Fry's special. Be sure to get some sort of warranty though if you do get it!

 

Thanks for the input from both of you.. I think I might just use my two channel.. I was worried at first it would be too much for my components

 

Ahh, I just got information from the F-150 owner concerning this.
" it was really old, years old when i got it like two years ago"

Okay, so they last a good bit of time, he seemed to have one of the oldschool Sound Storm amps. But eh, I'm unsure. That's all the input I have.
