Critical Mass' new 5-channel amplifier doesn't take its title as the most powerful 5-channel car audio amplifier in the world lightly. There are 2500 watts on tap for the subwoofer channel alone, and another 800 watts for the full-range four channel section. That much power doesn't come cheap though, the Critical Mass ULA-A5 will set you back $3,900 and the amplifier is expected to be available June 15th.

Full specs after the jump.

is it just me or does it look like for the RMS rateing of this amp. Too have only 2 30amp fuses seems kinda weird? Maybe I misssed something.

The two 30 amp fuses are for the four channel Class-A/B full range side only. The Class-D side (and whole amp for that matter) need an external 300 amp fuse.

That was pre-production pricing and it may very well have changed since.
