DannyTuttle Posted June 7, 2011 Report Posted June 7, 2011 I was just curious if anyone heard of the brand and if it was any good. I owned a bamf before it got stolen, but i never got a chance to bench test it. It was a 4000 watt amp and it moved my 3 1000 watt RMS subs really well at 8 ohms (didn't realize hooked up wrong. im just curious which one would be better also, the stack or bamf series STACK http://www.audiosavings.com/products/Car-Amplifiers/NEW-POWER-ACOUSTIK-STAX5500-1D-5500w-MONO-CAR-AMPLIFIER/STAX5500%5Bs%5D1D.aspx?item_cd=STAX5500%5bs%5d1D&cat_cd=Car-Amplifiers#tab5 BAMF http://www.audiosavings.com/products/Mono-Car-Amplifier/POWER-ACOUSTIK-BAMF5500-1D-5500-WATT-CAR-AMPLIFIER-AMP/BAMF5500%5bs%5d1D.aspx Quote

DannyTuttle Posted June 7, 2011 Author Report Posted June 7, 2011 Just don't... Those amps are terrible... Is there any reason they are? like a bench test or something saying their % efficiency? id just like to know a reason to call this brand bad thats all >_> Quote
TeamHT Posted June 7, 2011 Report Posted June 7, 2011 Feel free to clamp whichever amp you get Quote Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?
Autruche Posted June 7, 2011 Report Posted June 7, 2011 (edited) They do about half of rated, if that, they don't even put out the power that their fusing suggests. They also sound hollow and lifeless. My friend had the BAMF4000 and it sounded like shit. He got a more lively, cleaner sound out of an Audiopipe amp, and even a Pyle 2 channel seemed to sound warmer. To be honest, spend $300 on getting a Crescendo BC2000, or spend $415 on an AQ2200. Hell, even a Hifonics (anything but the HFI line!) is a step up from Power Acoustik... At least the Hifonics does close to rated. Edited June 7, 2011 by Autruche Quote Need Test Tones/Sine Waves?

DannyTuttle Posted June 9, 2011 Author Report Posted June 9, 2011 Tell me a little about the crescendo BC2000, what gauge wire does it take max/min, The RMS/Max of it @ 1,2,4 ohms. is it even 1 ohm stable? and also can it be master/slaved? Does it have a safety trigger on it? i went to the crescendo web site and they don't have it on the site anymore so where could i buy one of these at? AQ is a bit out of my price range, im looking for an amp that can power 3000w rms to 6000w max. Tell me some stuff abt Hifonics as well. Is there a decently priced amp for what i need? Quote
Supercharged DCs Posted June 9, 2011 Report Posted June 9, 2011 What subwoofers do you have? What electrical do you have to back up 2000w? I'm willing to bet 2000w is too much for your subs, and you have stock electrical with a capacitor. Quote Bassless once again.

tlee2 Posted June 9, 2011 Report Posted June 9, 2011 The crescendo takes 0/1 guage and to be technical its 0.5 ohm stable. Its puts out 2000+ true rms at 1ohm. There new there not on the site I believe you have to call or e mail them Quote 6 Sundown X 15s 2 Sundown NS1 V2s C Pillar 4th order Bagged Suburban on 24s http://youtube.com/tlee333
Bumpindemlowzz Posted June 9, 2011 Report Posted June 9, 2011 I don't mean to thread-jack but are their 4 channels any good? I picked up the Stax 1200 which is supposedly 100x4 as a temporary until i can get a Rockford 600.4. Quote 2010 Silverado 18" DC XL 18 DC 2k XS Power Batts
