CT-800.5D // 1000 Watts RMS 5-Channel Car Audio Amplifier
Have this running MESO 6x9s in the front doors, and MESO 6.5coax in rear doors, 4 ohms. With a Kenwood Excellon head unit, this setup is *perfect* - detailed, beautiful sound that never gets harsh. This little amp sits under my seat and gets the job done! Even driven to clipping, it is very well-behaved, even not considering it's Class-D.
I have a pair of TropoXL 10's waiting to be given a home, but given the power of this little setup, I'm kinda afraid of unleashing the other half of the power this amp promises to deliver! Good times - CT sounds makes fine products. (And yeah, I know the TropoXLs will be a bit underpowered with the 300W from channel 5...)

amp is nice and compact. power & speaker inputs on one side, RCA's and adjustments on the other worked out absolutely perfect for the way i pre-wired my audio & power gear during the complete r3estoration of my 67 Camaro. using CT sound speakers in package tray along with other brand (for now) sub in trunk box as well as other brand kick panel speakers. amp drives everything great. excellent clean sound once fully adjusted and the Sub hit to perfection
I had an incredibly old 5 channel amp (Infinity Kappa 255a), and this little amp with a foot print about 1/3 the size (not surprisingly) absolutely crushes it.
The fact that the sub section is 1 ohm stable, means i finally have bass in my music again. My sub is a Dual 2 ohm, and my old amp being only 2 ohm stable it never quite put enough power to the sub wired at 4 ohm's.
I'm still working on getting the settings right, but so far it doesn't seem to have lost anything in the sound quality department. That was a concern for me going from a class AB amp (albeit ~20 year old) to a full class D amp.
The only issue (and very minor at that) I have is: Why aren't the speaker outputs labeled as Front Right or Rear left?
