Does powerbass make good stuff or do the lower prices seem too good to be true? Anyone know? How do they compare to RF?

powerbass = garbage IMO.. RF = great quality.

Why garbage? just because it isn´t as expensive as your RF??? i mean, i have a 400.4 for about 5 years now without any problems, i used an asa1500.1 and sounded awesome for the price, also ested the xta4000D and it´s a monster, it can take 0.5 ohms for music and 0.25 ohms for burps without any problems, not like your RF by the way ;)

By the way, look at Pulse car audio videos using a pair of powerbass amps for a single DD 9515 hitting 157 dbs sealed on the dash, and then you might think again about saying is garbage, of course, i respect your opinion as your preferences by using RF wich i totally understand, but garbage?? yeah right ;)

Great way to back up your opinion with some facts. <_<

Some will say Powerbass isn't the quality it use to be, then again some can same the same for RF.

The ASA line is pretty good for the price point.

not many cars can get me to pluggin my ears but this one.......damn. I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it. :)

I got 2 of the new 3xl 15's in 7 cubes tuned to 28hz and hits hard as hell, and if u got the right amp they can be wired to 1/4 ohm. Mines are running off a mtx 81000d so I can only wire the woofers to 1 ohm. The amp is actually rated at 4 and 2 ohms so I guess Im kinda pushing it but Im gonna wire the woofers down to 1/4 ohm anyways and if I blow the amp oh well. Guess that will be an excuse to get a bigger amp lol. I was skeptical at first about powerbass compared to kicker, mtx, rf, etc. So far I am satisfied.These are pretty decent subs. I paid $500 for the pair. All the stores wanted $600-$700 pair so I guess I got a deal. Haven't mic'd em yet but im sure right now its capable of at least 145db or higher. Pics and vids coming soon.

run that powerbass at .25 daily and see how long it will last.. when it comes to amps you should not cheap out.. sure the 4 channel ones may work alright.. but in the long run of going through cheap amps you could have bought one nice one that lasts years and years.. :shtf:
