mmm.. thought you were selling this item.. didnt see the q about it..

I used to own a Profile California 4 channel amp. Decent amp for the price and looks nice. Sound isnt that great but was good for a beginner.

This monoblock is rated at 200w@4ohms and that is pretty low... a 2x50w amp will be able to bridge to 150w and a 2x75 amp can do abtou 250 easily.

Anyway, how much were u offered? If its really cheap then its good.

200w rms @ 4 ohm and 320w rms @ 2 ohm seems low. cant even go to 1 ohm. most subs nowdays can go to 1 ohm easily.

Calss AB means lower efficientcy compared to class D. Gets very hot when playing over somethime and comsumes more power than class D.

personally for that price, go for an epsilon or audiobank korean made amp (profile is also a Korean amp) of 2x100w or a min of 2x75w for a 4 ohm woofer...

If you are going for 2 subs with a final impedene of 2 ohms (2 4 ohm subs) then get a 4 channel amp n bridge it to 2 4 ohm loads...
