I purchased this to replace a Skar SK-M400.4D in my roommates vehicle. I really didn't know what to expect honestly as far as build quality goes. I have been following Audio Apex for a little while now and have been waiting for an appropriate excuse to give them a chance. I was mostly surprised with this amplifier. I did not anticipate all the gold plated connections. The heatsink is extremely thick which is a plus as I know class AB amplifiers tend to run warmer than class D. I always like to wiggle transformers and caps a bit to see how well they are seated. Most Chinese assembled amps you wind up with components that can wiggle a bit and that is not desirable. This amplifier board has a beautiful layout, perfect symmetry across the board and ALL components are seated very well, and the quality of the components used are above average. As far as sound quality goes, this amplifier did not leave anything to be desired. Each channel is powering a Deaf Bonce Machete MM-60 and a Deaf Bonce Machete MT-30. Overall I am pretty happy with the purchase, huge upgrade from what my roommate was running before. If you are looking for a budget gem I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this amplifier.
