It has like 1 year without problems. Optidrive line is good but in general, lanzar is not good

For the price there are few equals. The new optidrives are a step down, but still quality amps. The Vibe/Viberant/Heritage amps are decent budget amps, but they're not very clear about the power ratings. Download manuals to check ratings/fuse sizes before buying. By your description you're looking at one of the budget amps. Their "2400w max" amps will generally give you 600-800w RMS.

If you wanna buy better quality, get optidrive 1400d

So now that I want an amp with more power I am getting a big boy non-sony amp. Are you guys telling me that higher quality amps don't last?
