I personally run one in my Tacoma pushing 4 JBL GTO door speakers, and it's pushing the snot out of them with no distortion ( tuned with my O scope ) . I'd love too see the numbers on it .

Some beginners are such know-it-alls you can't explain things to them. Definitely clipped it to death and the Crunch amp is garbage. I try to be patient but sometimes it just gets old. I make huge posts on FB for obvious beginners that have questions but wont deal with the ones that start acting like jerks.
