nice purchase on the amp! to be honest...ive had several SPL systems in several cars and in my eclipse i only ran 600 watts to 2 crappy 15"s and hit over 150dBs. our cars are very condusive to great bass with only a little power.

as for the query on the longevity of the eclipse, i had mine for 4.5 years and went from 80k miles to 160k with only the following (excludes oil/plug/air filter/plug wire changes):

1) new tcu (fried mine on accident, it was my fault)
2) preventative timing belt change at 120k
3) p/s belt slipping problems. fixed by changing my harmonic damper bolt.
4) dead alternator (again, my fault due to my system). i got a new high-amp unit from www.4alterstart.com for $225 and replaced it myself in an afternoon.

if i wasnt t-boned, im confident that she would have made it over 200k miles with no other problems.

:shhh: i do cocaine :/shhh:
