I’ve owned two of these for 3 years driving some dual 18 subs, monitors, and everything in between. I finally got some honest specs from one of the retailers – Rated Power Output: 2×500W RMS @ 4 ohms Stereo Mode / 1×900W RMS @ 4 ohms. 10,000 watts would melt this into a blob of molten metal! Let’s get realistic! Really, I think someone with double vision in China added an extra Zero to the model number. It should be an XA1000! But, to give this amp some credit, the 500W at 4 ohms may be a bit conservative. It is actually pretty robust – and nice and clean sounding. It’s always worked – where other amps have bit the dust – and the meters are very nice to be able to tell just how much you’re pushing them. I wouldn’t drive it at 2 ohms at all – just don’t think it’s made THAT well. But the title of this review says – it’s a very good value for the money. Just consider you’re buying a 1000 watt amp (bridged mono) and a 2X500 watt amp at 4 ohms – perhaps 2 X 300 Watt
