I got this amp to run some VRX 918 subs. I run 1 or 2 subs on it in bridged mode and it does very well. My use case is 3 piece blues/rock/funk band playing everything from bars to festivals and this amp does very well. It's paired with a Peavey IPR 3000DSP (first Gen) when I need more than 2 subs. I run mine in bandpass mode with a 32hz high pass and 90hz low pass typically. All in all, solid amp

I bought this amp to power a passive Yamaha dual CSV218 subwoofer rated at 2400 watts that I bought a few years back (wish they still made them). In Bridged Mono mode this amp absolutely delivers! The built in DSP and crossover controls are perfect and the Yamaha subwoofer with this amp completely dominate any venue where I need that extra bass gut punch. I put it on Par with the QSC GX-7 in performance, but much better since it has many more features. It rocks and will deliver!

My needs were a bit outdated: I wanted to run a pair of Bose 901, Series VI, speakers through an equally dated Pioneer SX-60 (80 watts/channel) and/or a Pioneer SX-V90 (110 watts/channel). Both of these receivers require "tape in/tape out" connections to use the provided Bose Equalizer. I already have two systems similarly set up with Bose 1800 Series VI Power Amplifiers BUT the fans are loud and noticeable. I wanted something with comparable power, but quieter. The manual from Bose says the 901 Series V can handle "unlimited" power in "non-commercial applications" while the Series VI says 425 watts/channel. I contacted my Sweetwater rep, Bill Newbill, and he gave me his logic and, given the set-up, the best amp would be the Crown XLS 2502. It arrived a few days later and here's what I think: Why did I buy 2 used Bose Power Amps on e-bay for $450.00 each, with no warranty, sight unseen, when I could get a new, quieter, easy to connect, Crown amplifier with a 2-year warranty? I read all the reviews on Sweetwater. Some loved it. Some didn't. But for my set-up, it is perfect. Well made, quiet fan, easy to hook-up, easy to read display, and easy connection instructions in the manual. I registered the Crown XLS 2502 online. This is a solid, powerful, well-made amplifier with great specifications, backed by Sweetwater and Crown and pumping enough power to run 4 Bose 901's *each speakers is 8 ohms* without any problem.
