I'm looking to buy one of these. Which one do you guys think would put out the most power? Cleanest? Most reliable? Is the powerbass over/under rated? Is the AQ underrated enough to get me close to 3000 watts at 1 ohm? I've got a 270 amp alt and two big treo ssx100b batteries... What do you guys think? For the record, the PB is about $125 more (they're both used). I want to push a crossfire xsv2 15 (rated at 2500rms)...
Powerbass is junk go with the aq anyday
That pb looks beefier in the gut pics, but I doubt its worth another 125 compared to the aq. Plus the aq's seem to make a lot of people happy.Quote:

That's good to hear... I may just do the PB. Definitely more power than the AQ, huh?Quote:

hell there was 6 local 3 blown n 3 just repaired in last 6 months
yeah.. PB makes me feel leery. similar to hifonics newer stuff. just not for me.
quality over quantity (watts)
Well i mean even with those people having problems i wont just say its junk one of my friends had 2 xa3k's he had been running for a year and never had a problem out of them. But yea no amps the same for anyone. I would still try them but thats IMO tho
powerbass makes good stuff.. for the extra 125 1kw more is a good deal..
You won't hear a very noticable differnce between 2200 and 3000 watts.. It may sound slightly different but it will not extremly noticable. In order to gain 3 dB you must atleast double your power. It will however show on the termlab.
