Does anyone have experience with these at all?

good stuff...go for it. I have some of the older models and they are great, especially for the money.

I have a ZX700.5 powering

MB Quart 6.5" 4" and 1" tweeter (dual two way crossovers, one does the 6.5" and one does the 4" and tweeter).

6x9's in the rear

And the sub channel powers two 10's at 4 ohms

The amp is great. Even though I let the white ghost out of it during install

I'm thinking about a 650.4 and 1500.1. What do you mean by white ghost?

SMOKE

I hooked up the amp with one set of RCA's directly from the stock HU using PAC audio AOEM-NIS 2.

As soon as a turned on the ignition , the power indicator light went green, red, green, red, green, red, and then I heard a pop, I cut off the ignition and when I looked back at the amp there was smoke coming out of it!!!

I checked all my connections and it they were fine. I felt the amp and it did not feel hot so I cut the ignition on again and the amp worked great. On my amp it actually was able to play all five channels from one input from the stock HU.

I have since hooked up and Alpine ERA-G320 and I have Front , Rear, and Sub RCA's running to the amp and I don't have any issues.

OK so it turns out the "smoke" coming out of the amp had something to do with the electronic crossovers on the amp.

I had a continuing "hum" when the amp was on.

On Sunday this awful high pitched squeel came out of all my speakers from what I could tell. I had to disconnect the amp.

I put my old Alpine MRV-F405 and MRV-100M amps in tonight and they sound better anyway.
