I'm still running my Fred Sanford resistor bank

That test was great

The single Fuse in the Lanzar was more then a dead give away that it was not even gonna muster up 1,000W at all!

Old School Pyramid was good, the stuff they build now is bassically garbage and prob sub-par stuff inside!

Current Optidrive stuff is nice... but I wouldnt know lol

old school pyramid has ALWAYS been garbage ass flea market crap. Unless you are talking REAL old school like the 70's or something.....before my time. I can't vouche for that. I just know the 80's all the way till now is JUNK ASS JUNK.

Unless you got Pyramid Pro, then you got 25% of your rated watts to push those three way Jensens or Pyle Drivers.

Remember walking through the fleamsrket back in the 80's and every car audio booth was using a pyramid power supply to power up their stuff

I remember years ago I had that Pyramid amp. It was my first amp. I'm surprised they still make that amp. I had that amp for about 2 or 3 years till it gave up.

My brother had a pyramid gold amp in the late 80's and it weighed like 1lb. Was supposed to be like 1kw or something.

I wonder what his Kenwood 921 and 1021 did. They weighed a ton.

That was fun.

Some of the early 90's Pyramid amps were made by PPI, those were good ones, but I doubt most people who owned them knew that and probably tossed them years ago. They even had one capable of an actual (RMS) of 300x2 at 4 ohms and 500x2 at 2 ohms or 1000w bridged at 4 ohms. PBSP2300 was the model number and it was one of the "surfboard" amps of the early 90's (approx. 30" in length)
