Yeah it is, I'm not sure what the hell he did. I've had these amps a long time, they've always did their job and did it good. I've had them in various builds and many comps. These amps have gotten me a long way but I've never made them look like this before. I'm sending it out tomorrow hopefully it gets fixed. I wanted to use the four of them on the 2 SMD 18's I plan on getting for my truck. That's where the amps were gona stay.
