Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Before I installed this in my 2012 Jeep Wrangler, I had previously installed a Bazooka and some Polk mids. It sounded ok but was never loud and clear enough for me. That weakness was to be destroyed with the help of this relatively tiny amplifier. The clarity of the sound is only surpassed by the level of decibels my system now produces. I'm talking "blood from the ears" when I crank up "The Great Southern Trendkill", one of the best Pantera albums. As far as installation goes, it was as easy as any other amp I've ever wired in. It's small and light enough that I used some zip ties to suspend it from two supports behind the glove box. Clarion makes quality products and this amp is no exception. If you have upgraded your speakers do yourself a solid and install this amp as well. Now you're cooking with a gasoline. ###UPDATE### After having this in my jeep for less than 2 months I can say that the amp failing miserably in the reliability department. It basically works when it wants to. At least once a week it has a repeating malfunction. There is only a low volume, high pitch squeal emitting from the speakers. This did not happen prior to installing this amp. I have to remove power and "reboot" the amp if you will. Tried contacting Clarion but was routed to a service center about two hours from me. They did not answer. When it does work, it works great, but this is unacceptable. ###Update### Contacted a service center and was told they will not honor any warranty on Clarion products bought on Amazon.com. Save your dough and avoid Clarion. Good luck. ###Update### If you read the comments on my review you'll see that Clarion actually made an effort to see what people are saying about their products. I called the # and talked to a Clarion rep and told him my story. Without any haggling on my part, he took care of me. My XC1410 had a very early serial number so some bugs can be expected however, the problem I was having ended up being caused by my vehicle's control wire. The fact that Clarion reads these reviews, and responds to them, speaks volumes about their product support and customer service. If you buy from Amazon they will take care of any issues, perhaps better than buying from anywhere else. In the end this little amp does jam and Clarion really makes an effort ensure the customer is happy.
