uhoh_45 Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 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 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.. i've ran my xa3000d at .175 daily so i dont know what your talking about but i guess its hard to comprehend shit when your choking on Rf's dick Quote R.I.P!

Try something new and maybe in a couple months that's the company that everyone on this forum's nuts will he hugging! Quote so far...

FaTbOy911 Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 Powerbass is good for the price we had a powerbass 4k lent to us and I already had my memphis 4k and in spl wise there was only a .5db diffrence and theres like a $200 diffrence in price Quote Had an estimate of 6400 for an alpine/clarion setup dealer said it "should" hit around 160db with the custom boxes he was going to make for me..doubtful with so much area to move but, budget is way below that any ideas on cheaper brands for that kind of Spl setup? really didnt want to try any Boss or soundstorm, thinking Quantum figure around $150 per speaker "$1800 total" and $1700 to power it, first actual big setup for the van.

TRTC360 Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 I think powerbass is like a lot of other companies out there,they have ok stuff, good stuff, then fucking amazing stuff lol, like for example rockford has prime, punch, and power, each series is more expensive, better quality, and more powerful.
