cc_audio Posted January 26, 2013 Report Posted January 26, 2013 Pros: Its only $230! Cons: Its only a 2000W amp, and if the efficiency is low (which it probably is) there's a good chance it won't even make 2k. Oh and its Power Acoustik so don't expect any sort of reliability. It's all gone! The Celica Build Feedback If I buy something from you, DO NOT USE FEDEX!

Efficiency has nothing to do with power output. OP That's a bargain for what it does but I would look to the Soundstream Rubicon series, they do rated on a budget and are known to be fairly reliable considering the price. The shoddy Chinese construction is what sucks about cheap amps. I'm gonna hate
ccmotox99 Posted January 26, 2013 Report Posted January 26, 2013 soundstream is good for the budget, but their are definitely better buys for the buck. Crescendo makes a good 2000 watt amp. I'm very fond of my AQ 2200d also -playing with different setups
Alvi45 Posted January 26, 2013 Report Posted January 26, 2013 Those amps are garbage! They don't do rated I had one before and it was just garbage

The shoddy Chinese construction is what sucks about cheap amps. Really? So if the amp is 75% efficient it wouldn't mean a damn thing? So if I took the amp's 5 40 amp fuse blades and add that up to a total of 200amps still nothing huh? So how about I take the equation for wattage 200A x 12.5V x .75 = 1875 watts. <-- Notice I included the efficiency in there, since no amp is 100% efficient? That wouldn't be a good means to judge an amps absolute max potential, in a market full of inflated ratings? Efficiency can really help you see through an inflated rating and determine an amps realistic output, its has A LOT to do with power output. And that's suggesting the amp will be able to pull near the 200amps of current its fused at. EDIT: BTW Epsilon owns Power Acoustik and Soundstream, and since Epsilon is renowned for being high quality (<--that's sarcasm, they're a profits first company). Not saying they're bad, but I wouldn't touch them. Not anymore anyway. It's all gone! The Celica Build Feedback If I buy something from you, DO NOT USE FEDEX!

A 5,000w RMS amp that is 50% efficient still makes 5,000w RMS it just eats 10,000w worth of current. That was the point I was making, sorry. I'm gonna hate
