Crunch Amps

Crunch are pretty good amps. But you also get what you pay for.

the lower amps are better rebuilt

I recently bought a Crunch P1-2000.1 and the inputs burned out after 5 minutes of playing. Got a replacement on the way and I need advice on break in method.. Wanna treat the new one right bc while the first one was playing it pushed my 2-15s to the point that I was knocking pictures off the wall throughout my whole house..

Friend of mine bought one of these amps.. Tuned with my dd1 it barley pushes his type r 12s

Then his system was too noisy.. The dd1 is very sensitive and picks up unaudible noise.. So the levels were prob turned down too far.. For the 5 minutes it played it pushed my 2-15s to a 150.6db. So the amp wasnt ur buddys problem..

there is no break-in for amps, there is just proper gain settings and knowing your voltage drop

only crunch i'd own is a gp3000, best made crunch to date hands down, o and I'm using one currently

I figured the guy at Maxxsonics I talked to sounded noobish.. I told them I never heard of an amp break in period.. He mustve been new. I looked at a GP3k but it wasnt in my budget.. Trying to do an extreme bang for your buck system.. Ill prob only have maybe $700 in it for equipment and building materials..

the crunch's arent bad but they do max out kinda quick. i had 4 of the older model 1's like those. they did me good but just didnt have enough balls.

how about this 1 if u dont mind running a refurb amp. for the price u cant go wrong

I've used the crunch amps before and they work real good but don't expect to get the " MAXXX rated " power on them but if tuned right they can sound nice
